Officer Savannah Kilby has been caring for the litter. She said they visited a veterinarian on Monday, who saw no obvious signs of frostbite.

Rescuers are hopeful they’ll make a full recovery. In the meantime, the search continues for the person responsible.

“More than anything, we want this to not happen again,” Kilby said. “We really want people to know that they have somewhere they can bring them. They don’t have to dump them…You can’t just leave these babies outside in the freezing cold. It’s not acceptable.”

It will be a few weeks before the dogs are put up for adoption. There are three males and two females.
