A litter of puppies found abandoned in the middle of a Texan desert is now up for adoption in Mission Viejo, Calif.

Their journey to Orange County began about five months ago, when a woman walking her dog in the Lone Star State happened upon a box of 12 newborn pups. She drove them to meet with the Ghetto Rescue FFoundation (GRFF), a Los Angeles-based group of fire and police personnel dedicated to helping animals in need.
