Imagine walking through the woods in Ridgeway and stumbling upon not one, but eleven starving, frightened puppies left to fend for themselves. Two separate litters, just a mile apart, were rescued by local animal officers—just in time. These German Shepherd pups were in rough shape, battling hunger, ticks, and even parvo. Thanks to the tireless work of rescuers and foster families, most are now recovering and will soon be ready for adoption. This story is a powerful reminder: pets aren’t disposable. How can our community better support responsible pet ownership and prevent heartbreaking abandonments like this? #Pets #RidgewayVA #AdoptDontShop
