June 11 - The Animal Foundation has released an update saying all four puppies are responding well to medicated baths and antibiotics for mange.

Officials added their scabs are healing and it will take time for their fur to grow back.

June 9 - The Animal Foundation is looking for foster homes for four puppies that were found abandoned in Las Vegas this week.

According to the foundation, the litter was found abandoned in a blue bucket on a Las Vegas sidewalk.

Animal Protective Services brought the four puppies to The Animal Foundation for immediate care.

They are now being treated for severe mange, which is caused by microscopic mites that infest the skin. The puppies had bloody skin, had lost their hair, and had open sores across their bodies.

Foundation officials said the puppies are getting medicated baths, antibiotics, and special treatments and it will take a few weeks for the pups to heal.

None of the puppies had collars or microchips so Animal Foundation officials have named them Aramis, Constance, Athos, and Milady.

The puppies now need foster homes to continue their ongoing care.
