Puppies Dumped In A Bin Bag Rescued By Battersea Dogs & Cats Home

Three unwanted Yorkshire Terrier puppies were left in a bin bag on a random doorstep. Fortunately, a member of the public — whose doorstep it was — brought them to the safety of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

The dogs arrived, confused and in dire need of a bath, but apart from that are in good health. Quite adorably, the centre named the puppies after Harry Potter characters: Hedwig, Lupin and Dobby.

Battersea's London Centre Manager, Steve Craddock, said:

We'll never know the real reason why these three innocent puppies were dumped. We can only assume their previous owner was not anticipating the hard work that comes with looking after multiple dogs at such a young age.

We'd advise any person struggling to care for a dog or cat to do the responsible thing and bring them into one of our three Battersea centres, where we can provide expert care. We have a non-selective intake policy, so we'll take in any animal regardless of their breed, age or medical condition. These Yorkshire Terrier puppies had a lucky escape thanks to their finder, and they're now settling into their new homes.
