Two out of eight puppies sadly died during birth amid urgent appeal

Laois SPCA has issued an urgent appeal after they had discovered a starving pregnant dog left "in a shocking state."

The animal shelter said that they had a big job on their hands after discovering the dog who went on to give birth to ten puppies.

Two of those puppies sadly died as they "were not strong enough" and the SPCA now have to work to get the puppies and the mother back to full health.

"Will the cruelty ever end?" Laois SPCA said in a recent Facebook post.

"Time is flying and soon we will need foster homes for the pups and ideally we would love to have these all booked and lined up for when the pups are ready, in around 4 weeks after 1st vaccination," the post said.

"If you want to have a chat with some of our current fosters and ask them questions or look for advice please reach out and we will answer any queries or hesitations you might have about joining the team.

We support all of our fosters through every step of the process.

All vet costs, food and bedding are covered by Laois SPCA," the animal rescue said.
