'Young Momma' Dog Abandoned Without Her Puppies In CT
The dog, who has no collar, tags, or microchip, is "very young and sweet" and still producing milk, according to a local pound.
WOLCOTT, CT — A dog pound that took in a "young momma" dog who appears to have been abandoned without her puppies while nursing is now searching for her owner.
A passerby found the dog running up Spindle Hill by the intersection of Mad River Road Tuesday night, the Wolcott Dog Pound wrote in a Facebook post.
They "stopped and held her so she would not have gotten hit," according to the pound.
