Puppies dumped in a bin bag are given a second chance by Battersea

THREE unwanted Yorkshire Terrier puppies were brought into Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, after they were found by a member of the public dumped in a bin bag on his doorstep.

The abandoned trio were no older than four months old when they were found, helpless and alone.

The puppies arrived at the South London centre, confused and in need of a bath and groom but, luckily, otherwise in good health.

Battersea staff named the dogs after famous Harry Potter characters, Dobby, Lupin and Hedwig. The trio were assessed and cared for by the charity’s welfare team before being given the all clear to find a new family.

Battersea’s London Centre Manager, Steve Craddock, said: “We’ll never know the real reason why these three innocent puppies were dumped. We can only assume their previous owner was not anticipating the hard work that comes with looking after multiple dogs at such a young age.

“We’d advise any person struggling to care for a dog or cat to do the responsible thing and bring them into one of our three Battersea centres, where we can provide expert care.  We have a non-selective intake policy, so we’ll take in any animal regardless of their breed, age or medical condition. These Yorkshire Terrier puppies had a lucky escape thanks to their finder, and they’re now settling into their new homes.”

 Dobby, Lupin and Hedwig have all found homes, but there are many other Battersea rescue dogs and cats in need of a second chance.  Battersea gets to know everything they can about their dogs and cats so their new owner has a full picture of the animal they are rehoming.
