Lost Puppies Housed By Hatboro Police Turned Over To A Rescue

HATBORO, PA —It was certainly puppy love for borough officials.

The borough police department housed three lost puppies overnight that officials called "adorable" on a Facebook post, but were unable to get them back home.

Borough officials said Friday afternoon that the dogs were turned over to a rescue and "are in good hands with a positive outcome."

"Thank you to everyone that assisted the Upper Moreland police who found the dogs and to our police and our staff who housed the dogs so they were cared for overnight," borough officials said. "It was a happy ending for 2022.

Officials said the puppies were found Thursday by police near the borough's border with Upper Moreland Township.

There were no collars, tags, or chips to aid police officers in contacting the owner.

Police had sought the owner to come forward or anyone with information to contact the Hatboro Police Department at 215-675-2832.

But, after no leads materialized in 24 hours, the puppies were given to a rescue. Borough officials did not say what shelter or whether police had determined if the puppies were abandoned.

Numerous residents commented on the Facebook post about the fate of the puppies and how many would love to adopt them. It was unclear if the puppies will be put up for adoption.
