In a comment on the SPCA's post about the puppies, officials said a fourth puppy was also rescued and brought to the SPCA for care.

"They were so frozen in fear and huddled together, shaking and crying," the SPCA said.

Once the puppies were found, the Freehold Township Police Department dispatched Animal Control to rescue them and bring them to safety.

"These puppies are so scared," the SPCA said. "It seems like they had little positive human interaction and wince at any touch."

The SPCA is seeking the public's help to identify where the puppies may have come from.

If you have information, you can contact the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office at 732-431-7160 or prosecutor@mcponj.org.

You can also call Freehold Township Police at 732-462-7908.

"In the meantime, these sweet babies are getting the best of care and are safe with us," the SPCA said. "They will have comfy beds, nutritious meals, and get all the TLC they've been missing out on."
