Man Spotted A Cage With 20 Scared Puppies On The Side Of The Road

A resident of the English county of Essex was driving along the road near a residential area and noticed a strange abandoned cage right by the road. He decided to stop. As he approached it, he got shocked – inside were 20 little puppies, which could not be looked at without pity. The poor, sad-eyed pups were stressed inside the cage.
A resident of the English county of Essex was driving along the road near a residential area and noticed a strange abandoned cage right by the road. He decided to stop. As he approached it, the man got shocked – inside were 20 little puppies, which could not be looked at without pity. The poor, sad-eyed pups were huddled and stressed inside the cage.
“When I was told how many puppies there were, I actually thought there was a mistake,” Sian Ridley, an inspector with the RSPCA, said in a press release. “I couldn’t believe that someone had abandoned 20 puppies! They were all quite scared and timid when we arrived and it was just heartbreaking to see them all huddled in the one cage — they looked a pitiful sight.”
Veterinarians found that the pups were from different parents, and they were between 6 and 8 weeks old. They were unable to determine the breed – but the puppies were definitely a poodle mix. The puppies weighed less than normal for their age, but despite that, many of them were in excellent health. Volunteers also assumed that the puppies had been abandoned in this way from the puppy farm.
“I want to say a huge thank you to all the passersby who stayed to help these pups and also to the vets who were able to take on the care of the pups over a weekend at such short notice,” Ridley said. “It is difficult to know where these puppies have come from … I suspect that they may be from a puppy farm.”
Families are already being found for the puppies, and in the meantime, volunteers are taking care of them. Many have already “reserved” puppies for themselves. We wish these babies find the best owners!
