A dog welfare charity in south Wales is appealing for information after a litter of six lurcher puppies was found abandoned in a cardboard box. Hope Rescue said the puppies were found by a member of public in Smilog Lanes, near Pontyclun, and taken to the charity. They are receiving a full health check by a vet, but the team are also concerned for the welfare of the mum and dad.
Vanessa Waddon, Senior Head of Operations, said: “The puppies were in a very poor state when they were found but are now receiving the care they need and we’re hopeful they will make a full recovery from their ordeal. We’re appealing for anyone with more information about the dogs to contact us in confidence.
