The many services offered by the Humane Society were demonstrated recently as volunteers rescued seven puppies found abandoned behind a local car dealership. A member of the cleaning staff found the puppies on a cold, windy night and alerted the Society, which picked them up. A local veterinarian checked the puppies' health and they were placed in foster homes until they could be adopted. One of the foster "moms" named the adorable cocker spaniel/Labrador retriever mix puppies in honor of the dealership which led to their rescue: Ford, Henry, Taurus, Windstar, Fiesta, Mustang and Lincoln. Five were adopted into loving homes a few days later and two found homes the following Saturday.
