Officers Find 8 Newborn Puppies In Bag Abandoned In Park Dumpster

Belton, TX – Earlier this month, police in Belton received a call about what sounded like kittens in a Heritage Park dumpster. Responding officers discovered the cries were instead coming from eight newborn puppies who were abandoned in a burlap bag that had been tossed in with the trash.

The officers transported the puppies back to the station to be dried, cleaned, and fed. All but one of the puppies survived.

As reported by KXAN News, the odds were stacked against the young puppies. The bag they were in was thrown into a dumpster that had water in the bottom, and it was only 40-degrees outside.

But the surviving puppies are safe now – it is unknown if they will all survive, but at least they are finally receiving care. The police are hoping to identify the person who abandoned them. Anyone with information is asked to reach out to the Belton Police Department at (254) 933-5840.
