Puppies dumped at roadside now safe at Dogs Trust
The two German Shepherd pups, named Megan and Mo were found by a member of the public who noticed them moving in the grass. When she inspected further, both pups seemed to be covered in slugs and were suffering from a skin condition. After bringing the two puppies to Dogs Trust’s rehoming centre in Ballymena, both were checked over by a local vet to make sure they hadn’t suffered any long-term health problems.
Marbeth Gilmour, Assistant Manager at Dogs Trust Ballymena, said:

“We can’t stress enough how important it is that anyone looking to give their dog up for adoption should contact a local dog rescue and put their dog into the proper care.”
Megan and Mo have already received a lot of interest from potential new owners since being found; however there are many more dogs at the Ballymena rehoming centre that are desperately seeking new homes.
