8 Puppies' Lives Spared After Mom Ends Up on Kill List, Each Named After Taco Bell Menu Items
Taco Bell isn’t really Mexican food any more than Panda Express is really Chinese food, but Americans love both anyway. With Taco Bell’s Value Menus and combos and $5 box deals, there’s something for everyone to enjoy now and regret later.
Want to make a selection you won’t regret? Check out this post by Ally Turley Young, who got a 9-for-1 special of the best kind.
It all started with a little brown dog that Ally and her husband Steven named “Taco Belle.”
“A few months ago Steven and I volunteered to foster a precious little male terrier who was on the day’s kill list,” she posted. “We quickly learned she was actually a female and later grew suspicious that she may be pregnant.
“After confirming our suspicions a few weeks later we had 9 newborn puppies in the house. We had nicknamed our foster Taco Belle (because why not) so naturally each baby was named after a Taco Bell menu item.”
While one of the original nine pups passed away, the other eight have grown healthy, strong and roly-poly. Each one is a unique blend of mutt, to the point where they almost don’t look related.
Ally wrote that the eight “taquitos are now ready to find their furever homes.” But the names they chose? Nothing simple like Taco or Nacho. No, Ally and Steven went all out and trolled the depths of Taco Bell offerings for these special names.
There’s Crunchwrap Supreme, Doritos Loco, Quesarito, Gordita, Chalupa, Bellegrande, and Fiesta Potato. And of course, sweet little Cinnamon Twist.
“So if you know a family looking for a spoiled puppy please send them this way!” she wrote.
“Edit: the puppies are located in OKC,” she later clarified. “You can find more info and apply to adopt them at the link at the bottom of this post.”
Two of the puppies, Chalupa and Fiesta Potato, have been taken off the menu and are happily settling into their new digs.
The other six are still available.
If you’re interested in ordering, you can check out the adoption site at Country Roads Animal Rescue.
But even if you’re not, you can still admire the photos of these adorable babies for free — and that’s the best deal you’re going to get.
