RSPCA WA is calling for information after nine 2-day-old puppies were callously dumped in Bassendean.
The litter was found in long, wet grass near the corner of Lord Street and Guildford Road, behind the Station Street units.
The discovery was made by a member of the public around 6pm on Tuesday evening, 14 August. The man alerted a Town of Bassendean ranger who took the puppies to Perth Vet Emergency.
The Yokine clinic contacted RSPCA WA the next morning.
Sadly, one of the puppies had died but the remaining eight were transported to the RSPCA in Malaga where they were fully assessed before being placed with foster carers.
The RSPCA’s Inspector Peta Janssen said, despite exhaustive investigations, she hasn’t been able to identify the person responsible for the dumping.
‘There’s no recorded CCTV footage and door knocking has failed to turn up anyone who saw anything, or who even has knowledge of a pregnant dog in the area over the past weeks’, she said.
‘Town of Bassendean rangers have been really helpful but unfortunately, they’ve hit a brick wall too.
