Battersea has had an influx of pre-Christmas puppies this year with 14 puppies arriving, all under the age of 12 weeks. This includes a 10 week old Mongrel, a 14 week old Rottweiler, a five month old Labrador, and four five month old Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Then they had these poor little puppies bought in Seven tiny puppies were found dumped on the side of a road in a laundry bucket. The seven-week-old Mongrels were brought to our Berkshire centre by a concerned passer-by and we fear that they bred as Christmas presents but failed to sell.

Adds started appearing on boxing day,! Gutted to have to re home my pet Zack he's nearly two and a half he's very loyal obedient he loves people, even kids he loves everyone he's also a fantastic house dog who will protect your home. Reason for sale is I bought a puppy and he won't get along with it. Dad bought the daughter 8 week old puppy for Christmas. Apparently the pup has chewed one of daughter's other presents so she doesn't want him anymore. From a rescue site contacted at 11.00am Boxing Day - .... "We didn't realise puppies are such hard work. The list goes on.
Just awful it will never get any better. A week before Christmas I was in my local park with my pugs and an elderly man came over and asked are you the lady that resues pugs. He had a 8 year old pug with him just handed me the lead there and then. He had only had her 3 weeks himself. A few phone calls later and she had forever home with a lovely vet nurse from the local PDSA ! I'm just glad I bumped into him as he would of handed her over to anyone.
It's really heartbreaking. Even though I sometimes tell Georgie and Gwylim that I'm taking them to the Dogs Home and swapping them for two better behaved "models", I never would!
I went into the village today and saw 3 people with puppies. Got me wondering if these puppies will still be around next Christmas ?
