Four baby mice nearly died after stumbling into tar thrown onto a garbage heap. Only their eyes could move because they were covered in slime and dirt.

After receiving a call, Animal Aid Unlimited in India rushed to their aid. When the puppies first entered the tar and got stuck, their desperate cries must have alerted humans nearby.

The puppies were found in horrific circumstances.

Their younger siblings arrived to see what was happening and also got trapped in the sticky tar.

One puppy was covered in plastic debris and pebbles, all stuck to it with the tar.

It was completely immobilized, just like the other puppies. The animals were bewildered, in pain, anxious, and frustrated.

Two of them were completely covered and could only move their eyes.

This pain was overcome with love and patience.

The rescue was conducted in stages. First, they found two puppies. They were immediately transported to the shelter, and although the rescuers knew the puppies had a mother, they couldn’t find her until the next day.

The rescuers carefully undertook the task of removing the tar from the puppies. This delicate task took hours to complete.

This puppy was covered in plastic debris as well as tar.

You can see the care and diligence with which the volunteers at Animal Aid Unlimited removed stones, sand, branches, and other materials from the puppies’ bodies. The tar had hardened around their bodies.

After removing the solid debris, they improved the puppies’ hygiene by washing them with specific degreasing products.

Although there were small traces of the harmful chemical in the puppies’ fur, the worst was over.

After finishing with the first two puppies, two more emerged in similar or worse circumstances. As mentioned earlier, one had not only stones and mud stuck to its body but also plastic debris.

It took more than three days to save these young animals.

The rescuers worked with a litter of four puppies for more than three days. The young animals were exhausted and disheartened by their ordeal, but they immediately perked up after being freed from the tar.

When the mother returned to reunite with her children, they had been cleaned of the harmful plastic and were ready to receive food and affection. It was wonderful to see these little ones active again after such a difficult experience!

Although they still had traces of tar on their skin, the young animals enjoyed life with their mother.

This rescue was challenging, unexpected, and had a happy ending. Spread the word!
