Urgent tadpole help please!

[Bluebird5591]

My mom has a small makeshift pond in her yard that no longer holds water, however it started to fill up a little during the last couple weeks when we had a bunch of rain and the toads made use of it. It is now rapidly draining, i noticed some tadpoles struggling in what was left of a small puddle a few hours ago and added some more water to it that is already almost gone. I found an old ten gallon tank that I've filled halfway with water and added a platform, if i leave this outside and put the tadpoles in it do they have a chance of surviving? It would be just the tank with water, not a filter (the pond doesnt have one either as its usually empty), i will gladly do partial water changes a couple times a week but otherwise they would be on their own. I just dont want to catch them if this is a death sentence but leaving them in the pond ultimately would be as well. What to do? If the general idea is to go ahead and put them in the tank, would adding a rooted elephant ear for shelter and oxygen be safe? I can also catch them and take them to an actual pomd if relocation is safe. Thank you in advance!

Give er a go.
I would let nature take it's course, though.
You never know.

Dechlorinated water please. I would move the tank in the shade so the water doesn't get too hot.
Are there decaying leaves in the remnants of the pond?

Very little, it isn't a natural pond and has a liner as the bottom that was recently swept out, i can scoop out what i can though. Trying to keep them in the tank you think would be better than relocating them elsewhere?

Put some leaves in there. It will grow algae and microorganisms to feed the tads.
If you can put them in another body of water that won't dry up they may be ok too.
