An Iowa shelter has given eight puppies a second chance at life after they were found abandoned.
Eight puppies less than 1 week old were found abandoned in a cardboard box, according to a Facebook post by the Midlands Humane Society. The box was found in a ditch on a trail in Council Bluffs, the shelter said.

“These puppies will require round the clock care as we make sure they are healthy, fed, and growing,” the post said.
