A passerby called police on Tuesday after discovering six puppies in a wire cage abandoned at the side of a road in King Township.
York Regional Police officers were called on Tuesday, April 2, at around 2:27 p.m. after the caged puppies were discovered in the Weston Road and 15th Sideroad area.
“The puppies, described as being similar to a Husky breed, did not appear to be in distress and had no visible injuries,” a police release states.
The puppies have been taken into the care of Animal Services.
They are not currently available for adoption, police added.
There’s no word at this point on who abandoned the puppies but police say they are seeking witnesses and trying to learn more.
