RSPCA caring for three poorly abandoned pups at Block Fen Animal Centre in Wimblington
The RSPCA in Wimblington is caring for three poorly pug cross pups who were found abandoned at separate locations.
The three pups, thought to be only 12 weeks old at the time they were left, are from the same litter and were found in different but nearby places.
One was found in Sainsbury’s car parkin Oxney Road, Peterborough and the other two were found on the nearby Welland Estate.
The trio were taken to the vets by their finders and were initially kept safe by a member of the public. They are now in the care of the RSPCA Block Fen Animal Centre.
The pups - two female and one male - were found on April 3 and have been named Millie, Lilly and Billy.
Tiffany Saunders from the centre, who has been caring for the pups, said: “They are quite needy little babies and it has taken a bit of time for them to start eating - but after lots of care and gentle encouragement they are all now eating well and seem to be improving every day.”
The RSPCA is investigating the incident and Animal Rescue Officer Naomi Sadoff said: “The young pups were all quite poorly and were snotty and appeared to have some eye ulcers - I am so glad they are now on the mend thanks to the care of the staff at Block Fen.
“We are grateful to everyone who helped keep these poor puppies safe.
“It’s really sad to think someone just abandoned them in this way. We understand the financial difficulties some people are experiencing right now, however, abandoning your pet is never the answer.
“There is help and support available and - as we all strive to create a better world for every animal - we would urge people to contact their vets, local rescues and animal welfare charities.
“Anyone who has information is asked to call the RSPCA’s appeals line on 0300 1238018 quoting incident 1244745.”
This year the RSPCA celebrates its 200th birthday. To mark this special anniversary the animal welfare charity wants to inspire one million people to join their movement to improve animals' lives. To find out how you can join their million-strong movement for animals click here.
