Abandoned Puppies Rescued From Walmart Parking Lot in Livermore

The puppies are estimated to need routine medical care before adoption, and some may be ready for new homes within a week or two, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, a Good Samaritan rescued 16 puppies abandoned in a Livermore Walmart parking lot, though one puppy from the initial group of 17 died after being struck by a vehicle.
  • The East Bay SPCA, which holds a three-year contract with the Livermore Police Department, accepted the 16 survivors for medical and behavioral evaluations at its Dublin and Oakland locations.
  • Jes Cytron, East Bay SPCA Vice President of Operations, stated that taking in the group is "no small feat," though the puppies have acclimated well to shelter life.
  • Estimated to be 9-week-old Border Collie mixes, the puppies will be ready for adoption within the next week or two following vaccinations, microchips, and spay or neuter surgeries.
  • Cytron suggested owners often lack resources for unwanted litters, while the Livermore Police Department had not replied as of Friday to an inquiry regarding whether the abandonment is being investigated.
