The little cuties were trapped in a 2-foot wide nearly 20 feet underground, the nearest manhole about 60 feet away in the neighborhood near Dallas. In about an hour, though, they met their new best friends.

“Although a little scared, they will be fine!!” the Paulding fire department yipped in a social media post after the rescue.

No word yet on efforts to find the wee survivors their, uh, furever homes.
