Stray puppies ‘Hansel and Gretel’ barely survived by huddling together in cold

On Monday evening, rescuers discovered two puppies huddled together in the cold in Atlanta, Georgia. The puppies, dubbed Hansel and Gretel, are only eight-months-old and described as little more than 25 pounds of “skin and bones.”

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC were called to help and immediately arranged to rush the puppies to an emergency veterinarian hospital where the puppies were given life-saving treatment. Gretel was cold, could not stand or walk and her temperature was too low to register. Her brother Hansel’s condition was more stable.

“…Hansel. He’s actually the “healthier” of the 2 though he is also skin & bones. At least he can stand. We know the only way these 2 babies survived is by huddling together freezing until help came,” the organization posted on their social media page.
