A group of puppies who were found in poor conditions have been re-homed.
Police attended a property in Buckinghamshire back in July 2021 and found 17 puppies living in poor conditions without a mother present.
The puppies - a mix of cocker spaniels and Cavalier King Charles spaniels - were of differing ages, from eight weeks to three months, and
there were no adult dogs on site. Some of the puppies were ill and were being kept in unsuitable conditions, some in a white van and others in pens with dog crates.
One puppy had a cable tie around its neck that was so tight it had to be rushed to the vets on police blue lights because rescuers couldn’t remove it.
The case concluded in January 2023 where four members of a family were sentenced* after being found guilty of not taking steps to ensure that the needs of a number of puppies were met to the extent required by good practice.
The man from the family also faced offences of making false representations, under The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and also for causing unnecessary suffering to a male Cocker Spaniel type puppy by failing to remove a tight-fitting cable tie from the animal’s neck resulting in tissue damage.
The pups were first placed in foster care and then rehomed with the help of staff at RSPCA Blackberry Farm Animal Centre.
