Puppies Abandoned In Main Line Park: Pennsylvania SPCA

MERION, PA — A litter of puppies was found abandoned in a Main Line park, but they will soon be up for adoption.

The Pennsylvania SPCA said nine puppies were brought to its shelter in a box after they were found abandoned in a park.

The PSPCA said they were found Saturday in Merion Gateway Park in Lower Merion Township.

The nine have been named after the Philadelphia Flyers: Coots, Mich, Ers, Seels, TK, Laughts, Sanny, Hath, and Catesy.

"At just four weeks old, they had already endured so much," the PSPCA said in a social media post. "Left in the cold weather to fend for themselves (something they could not do), they were caked in feces, suffering from urine scalding, and in desperate need of care. The world had seemingly turned its back on them, but we couldn’t."

Staffers bathed the pups and gave them medical exams before sending them to foster homes.

"It's only been a few short days, but they are already thriving," the post read. "While they will not be available for adoption for several weeks, they are playful, healthy, and full of the joy they so deserve – all thanks to the kindness of those who believe in second chances."

Patch has reached out to Lower Merion Township for more information on the puppies and will update the story when additional details are made available.
