Puppies dumped in Hampshire graveyard 'doing well'
Watch the puppies, and the litter of abandoned kittens, exploring their new homes An animal rescue centre in Hampshire says a litter of puppies found in a shoebox dumped in a graveyard, are making a good recovery. The four male puppies were discovered in Westbourne Cemetery in Emsworth three weeks ago by a member of the public. Cold and hungry, they were taken to the RSPCA Solent Branch in Fareham where they were estimated to be four days old. They've been cared for round the clock by volunteers and are now healthy and thriving at four weeks old. Named Gravy, Bones, Draco and Malfoy the pups are believed to be a staffordshire bull terrier cross. Next week they are due to be put into foster homes before being made available for adoption. Animal behaviourist for the RSPCA Solent, Charlotte Jones, said the puppies were starting to develop personalities. " You can tell which one is most confident and which are more shy," she said, " but they're all extremely playful and love exploring. "We're really pleased about how well they're doing, after the nights of feeding." Veterinary nurse Rachel Simpson and animal behaviourist Charlotte Jones talk about the puppies and kittens abandoned in recent weeks. RSPCA Solent Branch, known as The Stubbington Ark, is an independent branch of the RSPCA, and a separately registered charity. They are also looking after a litter of kittens, found abandoned in a box near Fareham College. Sadly, two of the kittens, which were just a few days old, could not be saved, but three of the ginger females survived and are now thriving. Charlotte said help was available for those struggling with unwanted pets. "There's absolutely no need to dump these animals. It's cruel and selfish. You can always take them to a vets or a rescue centre. "These four pups are very lucky to have been found by a member of the public. If they'd been left much longer they wouldn't have survived." After taking in the litter, the charity started a fundraising appeal to help cover food and care for the puppies and their further needs, including vaccinations, microchipping and neutering. The branch initially asked for £500 but surpassed this total in one day and reached £2,000. RSPCA National is appealing for any information about the puppies, expressing a concern for the welfare of the mum and potential female litter mates. Anyone interested in re-homing is asked to register interest via the centre website.
