It was over 90 degrees (32 C) in St. Louis when the call came in that a nursing dog and her puppies were hanging around a waste area of Midwest Waste in St. Louis.

Rescuers from Stray Rescue of St. Louis immediately drove out to the dump and began to rummage through the bushes in a corner of the yard when they spotted the terrified mama. They slowly searched for her puppies. Thinking their were only three puppies at first, they continued to search and soon they had six in hand!
