MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU) — Nine puppies who were found in a trash can were reunited with their rescuers this weekend.
According to a press release from the Marshfield Area, Pet Shelter on Friday Mark Theobald met the puppies he helped rescue back in February. Theobald, a door-to-door sales rep heard what sounded like kittens crying from a trash container. Inside the container were instead eight newborn puppies.
When meeting the puppies Theobald said, “I love dogs. When I found out they were all alive and they were all safe, it made my day. It’s a pretty amazing feeling to know that they are going to make awesome pets for people. It’s an awesome feeling to know that they are going to bring joy to other people’s families.”
Theobald and his family met the nine puppies on Friday, who all have cheese related names. The family took a liking to Brie, who will most likely be joining the household when the puppies are available for adoption on April 1st.
Talking about the puppies getting adopted Theobald mentioned, “I want them all to find happy families, families that are going to treat them like family. Look at them, how could you not treat them right? If it’s a life, does it really matter if it’s a human life, a dog life, a cat life? You’ve got to do the right thing. You’ve got to make sure that those animals are safe or those people are safe.”
Robert Wild of Marshfield has been arrested and charged for dumping the puppies. A video showing Theobald and first responders meeting the puppies can be found on the Marshfield Area Pet Shelter’s Facebook page.
