When Alex Sirbu, a dedicated animal rescuer, found a cardboard box at the edge of a forest, he decided to investigate.

When he approached the box and opened it, his heart broke. Inside of it was a litter of newborn puppies.

Rescue Mission

Alex truly couldn’t believe his eyes. He was unable to understand why somebody would abandon these babies so carelessly in the middle of nowhere instead of bringing them to the shelter where they could receive proper care.

Alex soon found out that they were just a couple of hours old and that some of them even still had their umbilical cord attached.

Even though Alex already had some animals he saved in his care, he still decided to take in the puppies because he didn’t have the heart to leave them.

Alex went on to explain how difficult it is to care for new-born pups. In order for these pups to survive, they need to be fed 5 to 6 times a day with a special type of milk, or else they need a mama dog who is willing to adopt them.

He was already taking care of 3 new-born pups and their mom, so he planned on putting the new litter with them, hoping that the mama dog would accept them as her own.
