8 puppies found abandoned, covered in flies and feces

LACONIA, NH — Police in Laconia are investigating abandoned puppies left on the side of the road.

Officers responded to the scene around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, where they found a metal crate and a wooden box next to the driveway outside the Humane Society. The crate and box each held four puppies.

Police say the puppies were covered in black flies and feces. The eight puppies seem to be from two different litters, as four of the puppies are twice as big as the other four.

The puppies were taken inside and given food and water. They were placed in two separate kennels.

Anyone with information about the abandoned puppies is urged to call the Laconia Police Department.
