Appeal after callous pair dump puppies in bush in Kingswinford

A member of the public witnessed a man and a woman abandon the puppies in Stallings Lane at around 3.15pm on April 1 – before driving away from the scene in a BMW.

The resident retrieved the puppies and took them home before calling the RSPCA.

The puppies, which staff have now nicknamed Bonnie and Clyde, are being cared for at the RSPCA animal centre in Birmingham.

Vicki Taylor, RSPCA inspector, said: "The puppies are in reasonable health thankfully, but it does not make any sense at all why they were callously abandoned like this.

"Thankfully they were seen being abandoned so the member of the public was able to rescue them – although it doesn’t bear thinking about what could have happened to them if they had not been found.

“We are very keen to speak to anyone who can help us identify the two people who abandoned the puppies. Abandoning animals like this is completely unacceptable.

"We are just thankful that the dogs were found and can now have a second chance at life."

Anyone who has any information is asked to call the RSPCA's appeals line on 0300 123 8018.
