They go home with me, and then I take them to the No-Kill shelter.
-
I would stop and pick them up and take them to the police station. The animal shelter's are far away from me. I would have a baby with me so I would feel safe taking them to the police.
-
I have, and kitties. They all come to my house. I wouldn't be able to eat or sleep if I left them. Just got an abandoned kitten a few months ago. My sister has her now. LOVE our furry friends!
-
I pick them up, bring them home and try to find homes for them or take them to the local shelter. (it does not kill animals)
-
Pick them up and look after them. Any animals left abandoned to die or unable to fend for itself I would immediately take ownership without consulting the authorities and do what is best for the welfare of the animals. It is worth remembering that unwanted puppies sometimes end up in vivisection labs as guinea pigs in barbaric experiments. Hence dont tell the authorities.
-
Pick up the box and take it home.
-
take them and give them a good home!! :)
-
Take them all home and love them to pieces! Well also call the humain society to see if they had been lost or and reports on them and then look after them until good homes can be found for them. I am a huge animal lover as in "I love them the apropriate amount"... yes a friends quote, I'm horible!
-
take them home and give them all the support they need!!! ALL puppies are SO cute!
-
take them home
-
I would take them to my local no kill shelter and pay for their care till they got homes. I would bring them home, but I don't have the room and would get to attached to them to give them away. Then, I would try to find who did this and kick their worthless butt and take the mother dog from them.
-
My first instinct would be to take them home but with a litter of puppies i wouldnt be experienced enough to feed them all,so i would get in touch with the RSPCA who are better equip than me to look after a whole litter mind you i would pick one to keep when they were ready to be homed out.
-
take them home, get them all cleaned up, fed, watered and played with then go sit in front of a pet store or a grocery until i've found them all homes.
-
Living in Seattle, we are fortunate to have a large number of Animal Welfare organizations here. My wife and I have worked with many of them, so depending on where (part of the city) I found them, I would take them to the nearest shelter I was familiar with. I would also make a donation when I brought them in to help with the costs of care (my wife and I have actually been through this many times).
-
Well, of course I'd have to take them. I'd bring them to the local shelter, but I'd monitor their adoption, launching a no-holds-barred campaign around my neighborhood to get them adopted. If it happened that they overstayed their time at the shelter, I'd have to bring them home and try to adopt them out on my own.
-
Try and think of a way to tell my husband that we are going to have to be housebreaking some puppies for a while! *I'm a sucker for puppies*
-
Take them home and add them to the lot I already have.
-
Take them home and care for them. Attempt to find a good home. Never a shelter that will kill. Looks like I could be stcuk with 4 pups.
-
My house seems to be a "drop off point" for unwanted animals, so I would obviously take them home and try and find good humans for them. If not, I would take them to the shelter. As much as I would like to provide a home to all unwanted animals, I am in no position to do so. (At one time I had 4 dogs, a coyote, a goat,a horse, a bird, three fish and 24 cats...I plainly hate animals)
-
Can't resist puppies. I would be a sap and take one and take the others to a shelter to see if they could find homes for them. First look and they would have stolen my heart.
-
Looks like I'm stopping for puppy food on the way home.
-
Take them home and get care from a vet and find them all good homes! Vets are expensive but wel worth the peice of mind.
-
I would take it to the SPCA (The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) or ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation).
-
In the state I live, we have the SPCA and the Humane Society. Animals taken to the Humane Society are not put down. I would take them to the Humane Society. If I didn't have a Humane Society, I would, sadly, have to take them to the SPCA. A slim chance is better than NO chance. It breaks my heart but I am unable to bring them home as I already have more than my landlords "allowable" limit.
-
Kill them humanely if their cute, kill them inhumanely if their not. If they are untouchably unfathomably ugly, then just leave 'em there.
-
I would take them to my vet. It is a pretty good clinic and I would think that they would give the pups a checkover. They might just tell me to take them to the SPCA and, if so, I would do that. In one part of California I lived in they had a few "no kill" shelters. I have done that in that region and the vet set me up to take the animals to the no kill shelters when they had room. I do not know what Michigan has. I would not have room for a box full of puppies and my landlord would, well, have kittens if I kept them. My cat might not like it either.
-
... pull out cell phone and call the SPCA and / or "info crime" and report it ... then either wait for them to arrive, or pick the box up and deliver to a nearby vet or pet store (there are several of each near my home) ... my apartment does not allow pets or animals so I could not take them home.
-
Wonder yet again how some people can do things like that and be so cruel. I would take them home, check them out, seek vet help if needed, clean them up, feed and care for them and eventually re-home them.
-
Cuss profusely and in great detail at the jerk who would do such a thing. Then, take them home, feed, water, check for fleas, ticks and try to figure out exactly where to put them, safely until I have have them vet checked..OR call a qualified no kill shelter to take them to. It is important that we keep in mind, when rescuing a stray animal...do NOT simply expose your own companion animals to the new one (s) before you have had the new one checked out. Unknown animals can harbor an assortment of parasites and diseases, both internal and external that your animals should NOT be exposed to. A period of quarantine is always a good idea, and wash your hands and arms after every visit to the newbie, before touching your animals.
-
I would RESCUE THEM! And give them to one of my friends who live out in the country, or to the humane society.
-
Definetly would rescue the poor little things..
-
pick up box full of puppies, take them to vet, get them checked, and take them home. Eventually, I would find each of them a loving home with a good family. Of course, I would also probably keep one of the pups! I love dogs!
-
i would take the puppies to a vet to get them checked out.
-
well no one should take them if there to little you call you local dog shelter notify them. the mother could be near an scard,the shelter will handle it. but if there older and dont need there mother anymore then if you can take care of them then god bless you. there to many dogs with no homes as is.
-
So many possibilities, so few puppies. Lol.
-
under any circumstances i would have to take them home and then i'd start asking people taht i trust if they wanted to have some puppies
-
pick them up, take them to a non-kill animal shelter and keep 2 of them.
-
I would first take them to a veterinarian. Keep one for myself then take the rest to the animal shelter.
-
Pick them up and make a quick trip to the Humane Society.
-
Pick them up and take them to an animal shelter.
-
Take them home with me and try to find someone who would like to adopt them and keep one for sure.
-
I would take them home and then it they were teething i would get baby keys 4 them 2 chew on but if they were 2 little and still drank milk i would try and get my dog sandy 2 nurse them.( she had a litter 2 weeks ago) i would put them on a bed with a hotwater bottle under and a clock that ticks.( so they feel like momies with them) then i would raise them and find VERY good homes 4 them. but i would probobly keep 2 or 3.
-
Hug them! Hug them all! Then give them away to good homes (if you can after all those hugs).
-
Take them home of course! And say, "Wow! What a Great and Lucky Day for these dogs!" They will now have excellent care and loving wonderful homes. Any dog lucky enough to get into my home is set for life. I may not be able to keep a whole litter but I'll make sure they are wormed, spayed, neutered, vacs and have ome basic obedience training before I let them go. We'll have lots of fun and I'll take them lots of places to visit people and explain how I came to find them. We'll use the opportunity to teach people how to deal with puppies appropriately and maybe prevent this from happening to at least one other litter.
-
walk on past them, trying not to notice them! one dog is bad enough for me! you cant say that is mean, becasue i know there are millions of other people who will come along just after me (obvioulsly) that are willing to take home such cute things!

I was with my friend one time, we were messing around outside and we stopped and sat down next to this truck. We heard a cat meewing. We figured it was in the truck and we started looking under the car for it. It was a little tiny kitten, and it was stuck. We spent about 3 hours getting it out. We got the lady who owned the truck and she popped the lid for us and we eventually got it out. I kept the cat and named it Hadie. It was a mean little kitty, and eventually it ran away. =[
-
i would adopt them :3

Take them home, add them to my other 6, and find them a home later if I'm not too attached.

-
Bring them to an animal shelter
-
i'd adopt them :3
-
You take them to the local shelter or animal rescue.
-
I had a similar situation, but the box had been duct taped shut as they'd been left to die. You should take them and try to give them away to friends and family (good homes!) if you can't find homes for all of them, find a shelter that doesn't euthanize them, but instead finds them homes, and take them there. :)
-
I would take them home with me and care for them, take them all in and have my vet check them over and make sure they are all ok, and depending on how many puppies there are, probably keep them and raise them as my own . If there are too many puppies for me to keep, I would find a rescue organization, for the particular breed and turn them over to them, to be cared for and adopted out when old enough.
-
if you see nobody near them or take care of them,take them in or if it rains hard or storms...they`ll die!take them in and take care of them feed them,give em water snuggle em and have a mans best friends!
-
i would take them home and take care of them and after they get big take them to a animal shelter (no-kill) puppies are so cute! ;)
-
Pick them up and turn them over to the local shelter. Unless I was in the position to be able to bring them home and raise them and find good homes for them all.
-
See if I have a big enough pot! Growing puppies need a lot of good home cooked food.
-
I take them home and take care of them. If I wasn't able to care for them at home for some reason, I'd find a rescue who could take them in.
-
Puppies are the BEST! I would pick up the entire box, take it home, feed those babies until they are about to pop and love them until their ears fall off.
-
I would take them with me and care for them until I either found them homes or a rescue to place them.
-
I would pick the box up and take them home. Look after them, have them all checked by a vet, get them wormed, and then (if they were ready) try to find good home for them. If I can't then I have a litter load of new dogs who will spend the rest of their lives with me.
-
I'd have no hesitation of taking them in. Of course anybody would - It's like the law of humans to care and hate to see anything suffering. When I was younger I found two ducklings trapped in a milk bottle. I would have taken them home but mother duck found me. Uh oh.
-
I would pick them up, take them home, take them to a vet to get checked out, try to find them homes on my own, if I can't find them homes, I would take them to a NO KILL SHELTER!

I bring them home...feed & care for them and try to find homes for them.

Take them home and consult an expert on how to feed them I guess.

I'd take them home and warm them up. Feed them and start calling on the phone for people that might want to help foster these little guys with me
-
pick them up, take care of them find homes, do what you can, who ever did that is a jerk and should be fined heavly, but all you can do is not be like them...
-
Take them to a shelter and report where and how you came to find them.
-
I would take all of them with me and bring them home. After that I would probably get kicked out of the house for that.
-
I would take them home with me. Then I would have a huge inward battle with myself and remind myself that I cannot logically keep them all. I would keep one and then take the rest to the local animal shelter where I volunteer in the summers.
-
I would take them home no questions asked.. then i would take them to a vet get them all checked out and make sure they are all ok and after i figure out an age for them i then would make sure they were ready to go home and then i would find good homes for all of them...
-
Take them to the nearest veterinary office to make sure they are okay and get them food, warmth and shelter.
-
I wish I would be able to keep them but alas I wouldn't so I would probably take them to my church. They are always finding homes for animals.
-
Take them home and give them double the love you think you can! they deserve it and I am sure when your friends see the pups they will all want one, you will find good homes for them, just make sure they are permanent! Retribution for the swine that left them there........
