Woman Notices A Blue Basket In A South Dakota Park And Her Heart Drops When She Looks Inside
When Jordan Fiegen traveled to South Dakota to spend time with her parents, she imagined quiet mornings and familiar routines, nothing more.
But during an early walk through a local park, something unusual stopped her in her tracks. The air was damp, the ground still slick from overnight rain, and in the middle of it all sat a small blue basket, abandoned and drenched.
As Jordan stepped closer and peered inside, her heart sank. Huddled together for warmth were seven newborn puppies, shivering, soaked, and utterly helpless, left alone with no one to protect them.
Their little bodies were shivering, and their fur was soaked and matted from the rain. They weren’t making a sound.
They looked so exhausted and defeated, as if they didn’t even have the strength left to ask for help. Jordan shared in an interview:
“They weren’t even crying or barking because I think they were just so close to giving up. They were making no noise.”
These helpless pups had been left out in the freezing downpour all night, and as Jordan soon learned, their mama belonged to someone in the trailer park.
But no one had stepped forward to care for her, let alone her babies. The little family had been left to survive on their own.
Jordan knew she couldn’t waste time. Those seven fragile lives were depending on her. So she scooped them up and decided to take every single one home.
What struck her most was how the puppies didn’t resist. They didn’t fight or fuss. It was almost as if they knew that help had finally come.
At her parents’ home, Jordan and her family gave them a warm bath to wash away the dirt and grime that clung to their fur.
Bit by bit, the mud rinsed off, and beneath it all, tufts of fluffy white fur began to shine through. It was like watching little miracles appear before her eyes.
Once they were clean, the pups were wrapped in soft blankets, and one by one, they drifted into the deepest, most peaceful sleep.
Jordan sat nearby, watching their tiny chests rise and fall, and the weight of what they’d endured finally hit her, as she shared:
“I just sobbed over them not knowing what they just went through.”
But Jordan knew they needed more than just one night of comfort. She picked up the phone and called Almost Home Canine Rescue, praying they could step in.
To her relief, the team immediately agreed to help and set everything in motion to give the puppies the care they desperately needed.
The pups were soon taken in by the rescue and given proper checkups and treatments. Each one was examined and cared for like the little treasures they were.
They even got names: Bluey, Bingo, Bert, Ernie, Bear, Kona, and Nova.
From there, they were split between three loving foster homes, where they could heal, grow, and finally experience what it felt like to just be puppies.
And what a transformation it was. In just a few short weeks, the same pups who had once been cold, weak, and silent were suddenly bursting with life.
They started playing, wrestling, zooming around the room, and wagging their little tails nonstop.

Now, they’re stronger, braver, and full of joy. Each of these seven little ones is ready for a forever home, where they’ll be loved, cherished, and spoiled beyond measure.
These little pups went from barely holding on to being full of love and laughter, and now, they finally get to live the happy, safe lives they were always meant to have.
