When crews arrived at the home on Monday, they were told that there was a litter of puppies still inside, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said.
Firefighters found and rescued the puppies from the burning home, and paramedics treated them on the scene by giving them oxygen with a pet oxygen mask. The pets were then taken to a local animal hospital for further treatment, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said.
