Puppies just found in bag in a ditch. HELP

[Sully]

My wife has just been for her evening stroll and found 6 puppies in a bag. They look at most a week old and we don't know what to do with them, we have brought them home for the time being but will be returning to Britain in around 4 week so cannot keep them. All the neighbours could say was animali and shrug their shoulders, so need some urgent advice has what we can do with them otherwise I will have to dispose of them as humanley as possible which is something I don't relish. Please help.

There is a pet shelter called Plutos, not exactly sure where it is, but your local pet shop should be able to point you in the right direction..............good luck

Have already posted this on the Le Marche page but need help urgent. My wife has just been for a walk and found 6 puppies (probably less than a week old) in a bag at the side of the road, neibours have just shrugged their shoulders and said animali so no help there. please help, is there some one we can ring, we cannot keep them as we return to Britain in around 4 weeks.

Just hope we can keep them alive till then, don't even know what we should feed them on, trying bread and milk but they wont take it.

During the summer an Italian friend who was here on holiday also found some abandonned puppies - he contacted a local vet and took them there. The puppies were tiny and needed constant care which was arranged by the vet but I am not sure where exactly, a dog refuge of some sort I think. I think he said they had to be fed formula milk via a pipette which took forever so I would do the same and contact a vet local to you for their advice.

If you happen to be returning via Liguria, you can drop one or two off here... Sorry can't be of more help.
