In December 2024, three special souls—Hope, Grace, and Angel— captured our hearts.
When we think of a typical box of gifts, especially around Christmas, we imagine beautifully wrapped presents adorned with colorful ribbons and bows. These boxes often contain jewelry, gadgets, clothing, or other thoughtful items chosen with care to bring joy to the recipient. The excitement of unwrapping a present and discovering what’s inside is a cherished part of the holiday season.
However, the box that held Hope, Grace, Angel & Heaven was far from typical. Instead of bringing joy, it was a symbol of abandonment and neglect.
On a recent frigid morning at a park in Manning, SC, four tiny puppies were discovered huddled together in a box, abandoned and left to fend for themselves. These three-week-old puppies were left out unprotected in the freezing cold, in very bad shape. A park worker found them and took them to animal control. Infested with fleas and worms, they faced an uncertain future. But thanks to the kindness of strangers and the dedication of an All4Paws foster mom, their story took a heartwarming turn.
After seeing a 911 Facebook plea, a relentless All4Paws foster mom jumped in her car and drove the hour and a half to Manning SC. She saw immediately that the pups were severely dehydrated, and needed aid. She brought them straight to the All4Paws clinic where they received fluids. Despite our best efforts, Heaven, the smallest all white pup, crossed the rainbow bridge.🌈
Throughout the first week, the 3 pups had to be bottle fed since they were not weaned. Our dedicated foster mom stayed with them throughout the first few long nights.
Despite their rough start, these resilient little ones quickly began to thrive under the watchful eyes of their foster mom and our passionate team. Each day, they grew stronger and more playful, their personalities shining through as they discovered the joys of a safe and loving environment.
Hope, with her boundless energy and curiosity, was the first to explore her new surroundings. Grace, the gentle and affectionate one, loved to snuggle and give kisses. Angel, the smallest of the trio, had a quiet strength and a heart full of love.
Their journey from abandonment to safety is a testament to the power of compassion and the incredible impact that a caring community can have. Hope, Grace, and Angel have all found their forever homes, where they will be cherished and loved for the rest of their lives.

It’s heartbreaking to think that someone could abandon four innocent puppies in a box, especially so close to Christmas. The holiday season is a time of love, warmth, and togetherness, yet these tiny pups were left out in the cold, facing an uncertain future.
We may never know the exact circumstances that led to their abandonment, but it’s possible that the person who left them felt overwhelmed or unable to care for them. Perhaps they hoped that someone with a kind heart would find the puppies and give them the care they needed.
Despite the sadness of their situation, the story of Hope, Grace, Angel & Heaven is a testament to the power of compassion and the spirit of the season. Thanks to the kindness of strangers and the dedication of All4Paws, these puppies were given a second chance at life. They were brought into a warm, loving environment where they could thrive and grow, surrounded by people who truly care.
Every act of compassion, no matter how small, can make a world of difference for those in need.
