A litter of puppies have all been adopted after being thrown from a moving vehicle on Christmas Day in Florida.
Calling it the "Great Christmas Puppy Rescue," police officers at Escambia County Sheriff's Office in Pensacola, Fla. helped to rescue and find homes for the five abandoned pups in Pensacola, Florida, on Dec. 25.
, Escambia County Sheriff鈥檚 Office said dispatch received a call from a "concerned citizen" requesting help after witnessing the German shepherd-mix puppies being thrown from the vehicle. The ECSO wrote that none of the puppies were injured.
"Deputies brought the pups back to the ECSO where the deputies and dispatchers got some puppy time. All of the pups have been adopted and one was named 'Tinsel,'" it wrote alongside images of the pups.
Escambia County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Melony Peterson told CTVNews.ca that the puppies were adopted by ECSO employees and locals who came to the station after seeing the Facebook post.
Peterson says officials have located the vehicle from which the puppies were thrown but has no information on the whereabouts of the driver.
