Officials say despite being abandoned, they appear to be in good health.
"It's always disheartening to hear animals are left by the side of the road," said Tyler, supervisor of New Initiatives. "But our team is dedicated to providing the best possible care for these puppies, and we will make sure they find loving homes once they are ready."
The puppies are currently not up for adoption.
