Disfigured puppies found dumped in box

'UNSELLABLE' ANIMALS TREATED FOR INJURIES

- By FELICITY COLLINSON

TWO gorgeous puppies were found with facial disfigurements in a dumped cardboard box.

The pair, believed to have been attacked by another animal and then potentially abandoned due to being "unsellable", were treated for their injuries by vets.

They were then passed to the Blue Cross rehoming centre in Thirsk, then foster carers, and now the search is on to find them a loving forever home.

The Blue Cross charity says the pair are "happy, curious, and joyfully animated as they play together and pounce on their toys", and "once sleepy, love to snuggle up for a snooze with each other and their favourite people."

But the golden retriever crosses are lucky to be alive after being abandoned with horrific injuries in a cardboard box at six weeks old.

Joe Cummins, assistant manager, said: "They were found by a member of the public along with their littermate covered with sawdust in a box, and taken straight to the local vets.
