Six Starving Puppies Found Abandoned on Pile of Mattresses Get a Second Chance at Life

Dogs have an incredible way of bringing joy into our lives, but sometimes their stories can also break our hearts — especially when their suffering is caused by human neglect.

One man from Gary, Indiana, went out for a simple walk with his beloved dog, unaware that what he was about to find would change the lives of six innocent puppies forever.

As they passed a pile of discarded mattresses, something small caught his attention. When he looked closer, his heart sank. Lying helplessly on the filthy pile were six abandoned puppies, shivering and barely moving.

The man’s emotions swung from heartbreak to anger, but he knew he couldn’t waste time. He immediately called Silverstray Social, a local organization known for rescuing animals and helping struggling pet families.

Though it was Friday evening before Memorial Day weekend, volunteer Layce didn’t hesitate for a moment. She rushed to the scene and found that the man had already built a makeshift kennel to protect the puppies until help arrived.

When Layce saw them, she was devastated. The pups were so thin that their ribs showed through their dull fur. Based on their size, she assumed they were six to eight weeks old — but a later exam revealed the truth.

A family in Seattle dropped their dog, a black lab named Mitch, off at a local kennel one day, not expecting anything unusual to occur. But Mitch's stay at the kennel ended with an employee brutally kicking and punching him - to the point of death.

“These were actually six-month-old puppies,” said Kelly Carey, founder of Silverstray Social. “That’s how malnourished they were.”

Instead of discouraging the team, the shocking discovery only fueled their determination to save the litter. Kelly immediately began reaching out to partner rescues who could offer foster homes and medical care.

Before long, Guardians of the Green Mile, another compassionate rescue, stepped in and offered to take all six puppies. The pups spent the night with a volunteer before being transported to safety, where each received vet care, good meals, and a warm place to sleep.

According to Guardians of the Green Mile, all six puppies have since been placed in foster homes and are thriving. “Despite the look of them, they are all very sweet and friendly pups with great dispositions,” the group shared on Facebook.

The man who found them remains a quiet hero — a reminder that one compassionate act can change everything. What began as a heartbreaking discovery on a pile of trash has become a story of hope, kindness, and second chances.

Soon, these once-starving pups will walk proudly beside their new families, just like the happy dog who helped his owner stumble upon them in the first place.
