A mama dog and her two pups had no one to turn to as they wandered desperately along a road near Lake Trask, in Mason County, Washington.

As the rain poured down, the frightened mother and her pups trembled with cold, searching for a safe place to stay.

Soaked and shivering, the canine family hoped someone kind would notice them and provide a warm, safe shelter.

The Canine Family Receives Aid

When officers at Shelton Animal Control learned of the struggling dogs, they reached out to Caryn, a volunteer at the Humane Society of Mason County , located in Belfair, Washington.

Caryn contacted D.D. Ponder, a longtime dog trapper, and the two set out to rescue the pups.

By the time they arrived, it was night. They surveyed the area and set multiple traps baited with tasty treats.
