A litter of puppies with chemical burns were found abandoned and are in need of good homes, Denver television KMGH reported.A chemical had been poured down the puppies' backs, the station reported. The litter of seven was found in Hutchinton, Kan. A shelter there had planned to put the puppies down until a shelter outside of Windsor, Colo., stepped in to help.K-9 Bed & Biscuit, a no-kill dog shelter, is nursing the puppies back to health."I can't even comprehend someone thinking about doing something like this and then dumping them without any medical care," said the owner of K-9 Bed & Biscuit, Rachel Kruidenier."It upset me quite a bit," said volunteer Josie Furney. "It was a sad thing to see. I'm just thankful Rachel took them in and brought them here because I know they will be taken care of."The shelter is trying to find the puppies good homes. One puppy has already been adopted."They're very outgoing and very friendly. It doesn't seem to have damaged their temperament or personality at all," Kruidenier said. "It's amazing that animals can bounce back from something like this."The puppies are Labrador-chow mix and are believed to be about nine weeks old. The six remaining pups are ready for adoption for a fee of $95. The fee includes spaying or neutering, a distemper shot and protection from worms.The shelter operates on donations and has many other healthy dogs for adoption.
