Valparaiso resident Jacki Stutzman provided a donation to PAWS to ensure all the puppies would be spayed or neutered before heading to their new homes said Jeanne Sommer, co-founder and director of Lakeshore PAWS, according to the Northwest Indiana Times.

All the puppies are expected to head to their new homes by next Tuesday. Meanwhile, Lakeshore PAWS said the shelter still has some 30 animals still awaiting homes.

Valparaiso resident Karen Read first found the abandoned dogs late Friday after spotting them in her path while driving along State Park Road just east of Indiana Highway 49 — roughly 50 miles east of Chicago along the lake shore. Read said someone in a gold SUV apparently dumped the two litters of puppies and their mother in the road and drove off as she approached.

Porter County police are still looking for the person who abandoned the puppies.
