Woman Walking Through South Dakota Park Spots A Blue Basket And Freezes When She Looks Inside
Jordan Fiegen was visiting her parents in South Dakota when something strange caught her eye. A blue basket was sitting all alone near the trailer park, soaked from last night’s downpour.
It looked out of place… and something about it tugged at her.
As she got closer, her heart dropped. Inside the basket were seven little puppies, shivering and soaked.
Their fur, once white, was now muddy and clumped from the dirty rainwater pooling around them. They were huddled together like a pile of trembling fluff, completely silent.
No cries. No whimpers. Just stillness. It was as if they didn’t even have the energy to hope anymore, as Fiegen 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 poor babies had been left out in the freezing rain all night, and their mama? Turns out she belonged to someone in the trailer park, but no one was around to help.
Their mom had clearly been neglected too, and no one was stepping up.
Jordan knew she didn’t have time to wait around. Those puppies were hanging on by a thread, and she couldn’t just leave them there. So she decided to bring all seven puppies home.
The little furballs didn’t protest, they just let Fiegen take care of them. It was like they knew they were finally safe.
Once inside, Fiegen and her family gave them a warm bath. Bit by bit, the dirt rinsed away, revealing fluffy white fur underneath.
They looked like completely different pups. Softer. Brighter. Finally free from the muck they’d been trapped in.
After their bath, the little ones snuggled into soft blankets and drifted off into the deepest sleep. It was probably the first time they felt peace.
Watching them, Fiegen couldn’t hold back anymore and she burst into tears, sharing:
“I just sobbed over them not knowing what they just went through.”
She then called Almost Home Canine Rescue, hoping they could give these little ones the care they desperately needed. And they didn’t hesitate for a second.
The rescue team jumped in right away, ready to help. The seven pups, now named Bluey, Bingo, Bert, Ernie, Bear, Kona, and Nova, were taken to the vet for checkups, flea treatments, deworming, and all the attention they had been missing.
They were split up between three loving foster homes where they could heal, grow, and just be puppies again.
And wow, what a change. It’s hard to believe these are the same puppies who were once cold, silent, and barely hanging on.
In just a few short weeks, they turned into playful, tail-wagging bundles of joy, full of energy and life.
They started wrestling, zooming around, and showing off those goofy puppy personalities.
They’re stronger now. Braver. Happier. And they’re so ready for the next chapter.
Soon, each one of these sweet pups will be heading to a forever home where they’ll be cherished, cuddled, and completely spoiled, just like they were always meant to be.
From a soggy basket in the cold to warm hearts and wagging tails… these seven sweet pups are finally getting the happy chapter they deserve.
