The team at the RSPCA Brent Knoll Animal Centre are caring for two puppies found abandoned in a sealed-up box besides a local road.
The pups were just a few weeks old when they were found inside a cardboard box besides a road in Burtle on July 5th.
A member of the public took them to the rescue centre in Brent Knoll where the team have named them Tilly Norah and Stanley Jones and are hoping to find them new homes when they get the vet’s all-clear.
Andy Cook, from Brent Knoll Animal Centre, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “They are very sweet, albeit noisy! We think they are multi crossbreeds, possibly Lhasa Apso, Yorkie or Poodle types.”
“We’re hoping these guys have found a new home and we’ll soon be waving them goodbye but some animals are not so lucky to find a happy home so quickly.”
“This is a particularly busy time of year and we’re seeing an influx of animals like Norah and Jones coming into our care.”
He adds: “We’d encourage anyone who has the space in their heart and home to welcome a pet to consider adopting a rescue instead of buying from a breeder or a pet shop. We have so many animals in our care with so much love to give, they just need a chance.”
“We understand that some owners may be struggling to care for their animals but we’d urge anyone in need of help to please reach out and not to abandon their pets. These two were lucky that a kind member of the public found them.”
“We’d advise anyone who finds an abandoned animal in a public place to take them to the vets as this is the quickest way to ensure they get the care they need.”
