Puppy found abandoned in Bridgend garden along with sibling who had already died

A Welsh dog rescue centre has revealed they are under more pressure than ever just after another one of their heart-breaking rescues. Hope Rescue centre, which takes in dogs from six local authorities in south Wales, was called out to a case where two puppies had been abandoned in a Bridgend garden on November 4.

Rescuers were called after a resident spotted them in their back garden at 4am, but it turned out that one had already died. A post mortem is being done to establish the direct cause of her death as it is not yet known how long the eight-week old pups were fending for themselves.

The family who found the puppy who survived the ordeal named her Chocolate. But while Chocolate managed to pull through it comes at a time when lots of other dogs are being abandoned in the area leaving the Pontyclun rescue having to turn people away.
