A group of children were playing when a man pulled up and asked if they wanted the puppies
An investigation has been launched after three unwanted puppies were dumped in a playground after a man pulled up and asked a group of children if they wanted them.
It was reported that a group of children were playing on a field near Hall Lane, in Farnworth, when a man in a blue car pulled up and asked the children if they wanted three puppies, dumped them out of his car and then drove away. The puppies - a lurcher and two Chihuahuas - were all aged around six weeks old and too young to be away from their mums, leading the RSPCA to concerns that they were from unwanted breeding litters.
RSPCA inspector Beth Fazackerley attended to collect the puppies and took them to the RSPCA’s Greater Manchester Animal Hospital. She said: “Very sadly, one of the Chihuahua puppies was very weak and wasn’t able to lift up their head. The lurcher puppy was microchipped however the chip was not registered, so there is no information for the RSPCA to follow up on - prompting the charity to ask the public for help. Beth said: “It is very concerning that these three puppies - who were all far too young to be away from their mums - were dumped like this. It may be that they have come from someone who is breeding different litters and these puppies were thought to be ‘unsellable’ because they weren’t in the best health.
