RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Freya Lamb is now investigating how the puppies, came to be abandoned.

She says, “These poor puppies are all sadly underweight and suffering with ear mites. One of the dogs also has cherry eye which needs veterinary treatment. They are very nervous and scared and don't want to go near anyone.”

Anyone with information can contact the RSPCA appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
