Vets treating three puppies abandoned in a cardboard box in Kent say it is one of the worst neglect cases they have ever seen. The dogs were left outside the Foal Farm Animal Rescue Centre in Biggin Hill with sores and high temperatures. It's believed they were left after they couldn't be sold by a dog breeder.

They were rushed to a vets for urgent treatment, suffering from mange, sores, worms and high temperatures.

It's probable that their siblings were sold before the hair loss - yet another example of irresponsible breeding, with the litter probably being sold on the internet with these 3 unable to be sold. The pictures are shocking but need to be seen - we, yet again, would urge people not to purchase puppies from internet sites and rescue instead.

– Spokesperson for Foal Farm Animal Rescue Centre

As well the puppies, a cockerel, two rabbits and an unneutured cat were left at Foal Farm

The public are being urged to donate towards the huge cost towards getting these puppies back to health.
