Eight abandoned puppies have had a ‘ruff’ start to life, after being left unwanted on the side of the road in Hampton Park over the weekend.
Rescuers discovered the litter of pups at approximately 5.30pm on Sunday 31 January in a gravel car park next to Kilberry Valley Primary School on the corner of Kilberry Boulevard and Warana Drive.
The furry bunch are estimated to be around 10 – 12 weeks old and appear to be a boxer mixed breed.
After finding the dogs were not microchipped, they were taken to a local rescue centre where the team are working hard to help find them some new forever homes.
Anyone with information is urged to contact first constable Rachael May at the Dandenong Police Station on 9767 7444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
