Three dogs have been callously abandoned in a carboard box in a car park near an English Heritage site. A member of the public came across the trio near Avebury stones on Sunday, August 14 at around 8am before taking them to a vet - who in turn contacted the RSPCA.
The dogs, two older female chihuahuas named Babe and Tinkerbell, according to their microchips, and a younger male who has been named Ferdinand by the team caring for him. All three were in poor condition and in need of urgent care and attention. Babe also had a severe open wound on her back right leg and had to have emergency surgery to remove the limb.
