Lab Puppies Found Abandoned In Woods Near Havre De Grace Heading Home

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — The three yellow Labrador puppies found abandoned in a wooded area near Havre de Grace April 10 have gone from frightened babies to frolicking puppies who quickly found their forever homes.

Within an hour of being eligible, the puppies were adopted.

When officers arrived in the 900 block of Country Club Road in Havre de Grace, they found the yellow Labrador puppies. They appear to be five months old and in good health. The puppies were taken to The Humane Society of Harford County and an investigation has been launched into the situation., Patch previously reported.

“Without a doubt, we saw a difference in their personalities,” Erin Long with the Humane Society of Harford County told WMAR. “...when the potential adoptive families were visiting with them, we had them in our meeting room and they were playing and bouncing all over one another and they were a delight. We all needed that injection of energy and fun and playfulness.”

Even though the puppies were quickly adopted, shelter leaders hope that those who were interested in the three Labs will look to adopt other animals at the shelter who need loving homes.

“At any given time, we have between 70 and 80 dogs here at the shelter so any time we can get an opportunity to shine a light on the animals that are sheltered here and get people to come out and adopt is a good thing,” Long told WMAR.
