GREENBACK, Tenn. (WATE) — Eleven puppies discovered in a plastic tote at a boat ramp in have made a full recovery and are looking for forever homes. 

A local resident heard the puppies and found them in the tote. It was raining previously that day, so the tote was filled with about 2 to 4 inches of water. Luckily, they were rescued before the rain continued.

“The puppies are very cute,” Jim Naelitz, director of the Blount County Animal Center, said. “They are getting a lot of attention. So if you would like to adopt one, I recommend you make an appointment as soon as possible. We are currently doing all adoptions through appointments.”
