WELLFORD, S.C. – The City of Wellford Police Department is currently tending to seven puppies that were discovered outside the department, left in the rain on Monday. This incident serves as a stark reminder for individuals not to abandon animals in such a manner.
Officers at the Wellford Police Department reported that the puppies were evidently abandoned sometime on May 27. It was only when an officer inspected a box left outside that the distressing discovery was made. The puppies, wet and cold, were brought inside for immediate care.
The well-being of the puppies is now a top priority. They have been transferred to a facility in Greenville where they are receiving necessary medical treatment and care. Once they are deemed healthy and ready, the puppies will be put up for adoption, giving them a chance at a new and loving home.
In response to this unfortunate incident, the officers from the Wellford Police Department took to social media to share a vital message with the community. They emphasized the importance of not abandoning pets and urged individuals who are unable to care for their animals to seek proper assistance.
It is crucial for those facing difficulties in caring for their pets to reach out for help. The Wellford Police Department encouraged individuals to contact local animal shelters or authorities for guidance on how to responsibly rehome animals or provide them with the care they need.
The incident of the abandoned puppies serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership. Animals rely on humans for their well-being and safety, and abandoning them in such conditions is not only cruel but also illegal. Let us all work together to ensure that every animal is treated with compassion and care they deserve.
