Four Tiny Puppies Covered In A Strange Substance – Rescuers Feel Their Fur And Stifle A Sob

KC Pet Project was closing up for the day, when they received a desperate call.

It was from the police, and four tiny puppies were in need of immediate assistance!

The police had responded to a domestic violence call and that’s where they discovered the suffering pups, and they appeared to be covered in a strange substance.

At first, the rescue’s communications director, Tori Fugate, wasn’t sure what it was. Then she got a little closer…

“The officers had been called for a domestic violence incident after a man came into someone’s home and said he was going to hurt puppies who were there.

When they arrived, he had already dumped a jug of latex paint all over the dogs.”

Can you believe that?!

The paint had coated the poor puppies in several layers and their fur was slick and matted; it was so bad, the little tykes could barely move!

Worse yet, there are dangerous chemicals in latex paint, so the team needed to make a drastic decision. Said Fugate:

“There was no safe way to remove the paint without chemicals, so we ended up having to shave them.”

It was really the only option if they wanted to ensure the safety of the frightened puppies.

But in the end, the pups were clean and happy … though they were in fact hairless. And they all got fitting names:

Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Banksy, and Jackson Pollack!

Better yet, the instant this story hit the internet, adoption applications starting flooding into the rescue.

Fugate says their terrifying past is behind them, and the puppies are ready and willing to become wonderful companions:

“They’re just your regular happy and playful puppies now, aside from looking a little more pink since their hair is still so short.”

As for the horrendous person who did this, that perpetrator has been arrested and is facing animal cruelty charges. And rightly so!

Finished Fugate:

“We’ve had animals come in who had been spray-painted or colored with markers, but I’ve never seen anything quite like this.

“We’re finding it so difficult to understand what kind of person would do this.

But we’re so thankful we could be here for them and get them into loving homes.”

We love happy endings!
