Manitoba Underdogs tells Global News Morning the story of how two dogs up for adoption were rescued from a hillside on a cold January day in Manitoba – Mar 18, 2019

Every Monday on Adopt a Pal, Global News Morning features rescues in Manitoba to help them find forever homes.

This week, Manitoba Underdogs brings in some puppies with quite a rescue story.

Two of the adoptable dogs below, Cheerio and Captain Crunch, were rescued in the middle of a cold January day in Manitoba.

The puppies, which were in a litter, were found in a den, dug by their mother on a hillside to keep them as warm as possible. The team was able to save the whole litter of dogs.

Cheerio is Captain Crunch’s brother, even though they don’t really show any similarities. Cheerio can be a bit timid, but is making good progress hanging out with people. Cheerio lives with other dogs and gets along with them great.

The rescue has currently put a freeze on intakes due the amount of vet visits that had to be made so far in March.

“In the first two weeks, we spent about $20,000 at the vet,” the rescue said.
