Nineteen of the puppies came from a farm, another litter was at a flea market being sold with chickens and the others came from multiple homes and locations where people reported abandoned dogs, the dog rescue said.On Saturday, Hope Fur Pets Rescue decided to deliver the 50 puppies to the Scarlet Oaks Vocational High School program. Pam Nicodemus, head of the vet tech veterinary program at Scarlet Oaks, allowed Hope Fur Pets Rescue to use her space and students to help care for the puppies. "The students get so much experience way over and above what they would get anywhere else preparing them for the workplace," Hope Fur Pets Rescue said about the students' hands-on training and experience.The students were able to help care for the puppies and learn about their needs. They also got to experience surgery during the spay/neuter program done at the school.Hope Fur Pets Rescue said on April 1, staff members will be going back out and driving around rural areas such as Mansfield, London and Summerset, Kentucky, to find the mothers and fathers of a lot of the puppies. Their plan is to take them to a spay and neuter clinic and then transport them back to their homes.According to the dog rescue, the number of dogs they can help depends on the amount of funds they have. Hope Fur Pets Rescue currently has a fundraiser challenge going on.
