Five abandoned puppies are fighting for their lives in Pierce County.

They were brought to The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County after a good Samaritan found them alongside a freeway.

“She heard crying coming from a box,” Humane Society Chief Philanthropy Officer Ashley Taulbee told 成人X站 Newsradio.

Veterinarians are treating them with fluids as well as pain and anti-nausea medicine.
