Some of the puppies in ISPCA care.
The ISPCA is taking care of 5 pointer puppies who they stated had been dumped one after the other alongside a street in Longford.
The ISPC stated on Monday, March 11, its Senior Inspector, Karen Lyons, obtained a name made to the ISPCA’s National Animal Cruelty Helpline, about alleged sighting of a number of pointer puppies working free in numerous areas within the Longford space.
Three of the puppies, about 4 months old, had been contained by kind-hearted members of the general public, and the fast search started by way of quite a few fields to find the opposite puppies.
Inspector Lyons found one puppy hiding deep in a hedge; she crawled by way of and obtained him to security. The puppy, later referred to as Stefan, was shaking a lot, he was that terrified. Although there have been sightings of a fifth puppy, after persevering with to comb the world for hours, it took two days of looking earlier than he was situated, cowering and distressed.
One of the puppies pictured cowering in a hedge.
Karen commented: “There was such a vast distance where the puppies were first spotted, that it would appear someone went along the road and periodically let the pups out, one-by-one and drove off. The puppies, later called Bonnie, Hope, Stefan, Klaus and Samon were terrified and starving when rescued, but they are settling in well at the ISPCA’s National Animal Centre. This illegal dumping of dogs and puppies must stop, it’s cruel, inhumane, and extremely cowardly, said Karen”.
Inspector Lyons stated: “I had great help from people in the locality, who had a WhatsApp group set up, and they were keeping watch for sightings of the pups. I don’t understand why the owner didn’t reach out and ask for help. Although every Centre is full of dogs, they could have been put on a wait list or help given to arrange rehoming directly from the owner, and more effort from the owner could have been made, to find them new homes. It’s evident to me that the puppies were surplus to requirement, and it is symptomatic of the situation with dogs throughout Ireland at present. Although our National Animal Centre is over capacity with over 100 dogs, we are always there to help and work with owners to help find solutions. I would like to thank the local community so much for their vigilance in helping us locate the puppies. Once they are recovered from their ordeal, we will go about finding them loving new homes”.
The ISPCA is urgently calling on pet homeowners to please neuter or spay their dogs and puppies as quickly as they’re of age to assist cut back the canine over inhabitants in Ireland.
