Our branches and centres are full to bursting and we have hundreds of pets waiting to come in so we can rehabilitate and rehome them.
The remaining four were ‘covered in cuts and scratches which suggests they may have been confined to a cage since birth’, the RSPCA said. “They were suffering from dehydration and tests showed signs of anaemia and vitamin D and calcium deficiencies,” it added. A black BMW SUV was spotted at the scene in Trenholme Lane near Hutton Rudby by a couple who were driving by. The men, who were wearing Covid face masks, made off after leaving the helpless pups at about 4pm. RSPCA chief inspector Mark Gent, who is investigating, said: “It may well be that these are puppies that have not been sold for Christmas and therefore they have become a problem rather than a source of money for someone, which has led to the decision to dump them.
