Four-week-old puppies found inside plastic bag among DogsTrust cases last year 

Six-week-old puppies Faith and Hope were abandoned with their siblings in a plastic bag when they were just four-weeks-old. Sadly, despite the charity’s best efforts, they were the only two of the litter of puppies to survive. Picture: Fran Veale 

Four-week-old puppies left for dead inside a plastic bag were among the cases rescued by DogsTrust throughout 2023.

The animal welfare charity received a “record number” of surrender requests in 2023, with fears these numbers will continue to rise in the new year.
