Humans have it relatively easy. When we get sick, we know to go to the doctor. When we have an emergency, we know to call 911.
But what happens when our four-legged friends need rescue?
Fortunately, rescue groups like the ASPCA have dedicated themselves to rescuing animals who may not even be aware they need rescuing. But what do you do when you're in an area that doesn't have a rescue group?
This was a dilemma recently faced by a group of New Mexico animal lovers. The small town of Rio Communities, New Mexico has no official animal rescue, but a small group of volunteers calling themselves the New Mexico Spay and Neuter Coalition have dedicated themselves to protecting, rescuing, and finding homes for the area's stray population.
Recently, they had quite an adventure when they were notified about a pack of stray puppies who had made a very unusual space their home. Proving saving these little pups proved more difficult than they anticipated…

A vacant lot has remained untouched as the owner tries to sell it. Well, the spot was almost vacant.
A family of puppies decided to make the slab of concrete their home.
The rescuers tried to approach the puppies, but they'd scatter and run under the slab anytime the well-meaning volunteers would approach.
The volunteers brought food and water to the puppies, but that didn't work. The volunteers would sit for hours trying to gain the trust of the animals.
The animals were being taken care of, but they still refused to approach any of the humans. This was the first time they had encountered other animals.
Though the puppies seemed relatively healthy, rescue workers knew they needed to help them before the intense New Mexico summer approached.
And if they grew old enough to reproduce, the volunteers would have way more puppies to tend to.
Rescuers have slowly been able gain the trust of the puppies and, one by one, they are rescuing them.
Apparently, the puppies were all covered in ticks, but as they rescue them, they're each receiving medical treatment.
To see the full story and to see how they're saving the dogs, watch these amazing women in the video below.
