This early morning, a 5th puppy, Max, passed away, structure trustee Janine Hinton informed TVNZ’s Breakfast.
An psychological Hinton required a mass de-sexing drive, stating the discarding of puppies and kittens was all too typical.
“How many other pups and kittens have been put in rubbish trucks and people not knowing they’re there?”
“It is with so much sadness that I have to let you know that we have had four of our wee babies that were found in a rubbish truck pass away and now have their angel wings,” a post on Sunday said.

“We have no idea how long they had been in the rubbish and we were told that they were a challenge to retrieve from the truck, as the poor babies were in a fabric countdown bag with the handles tied up, and were sitting in a puddle of filthy stinky water, it was lucky they didn’t drown.”
All 10 puppies had actually been backward and forward to the veterinarians.
“We all knew it would be a battle and the fosters have been incredible but now are all extremely heartbroken.
“We can only hope that the other six will continue to fight to survive.”
The rubbish was being gathered from a business location in the Papakura-Hunua location when the rubbish truck driver called Liz had actually started to compact her load when she heard weeps and stopped to examine, according to an earlier post.
“In a bag, wet and cold, were 10 puppies still with their umbilical cords. WHO DOES THAT? Where is the poor mum? How close were these poor babies to becoming crushed?” it said.
“What is happening in NZ that people think this is ok. DON’T DUMP UNWANTED PUPS, ask for help and get the mum desexed.”
