Three lurcher dogs were dumped outside the RSPCA Putney Animal Hospital in London last night with a note saying their owners had been made homeless and could no longer care for them.
The dogs were found by RSPCA staff at 10.30pm tied to railings outside the hospital.
The female dogs – Beauty, a three-year-old, Taura – a one-year-old and Puppy, a six month old were all found together.
Clinical manager Sian Anderson said: “These dogs were left outside in cold, wet conditions, hoping that someone will find them. They are lovely dogs and it is such a shame that their owners have been irresponsible enough to simply dump them here.”
It is a criminal offence to dump animals in conditions that are likely to cause them suffering and anyone found responsible could face up to six months in prison or a fine of up to £20,000.
The dogs will now be cared for at the animal hospital until a place can be found for them at an RSPCA animal rehoming centre.
Anyone who knows who the dogs belonged to is asked to contact the RSPCA in confidence on 03001234999.
