Five tiny puppies are safe with us at SCAN, after being found abandoned in the orange groves nearby, on one of the hottest days of the year. Left alone.
The local police brought them to us a few weeks ago: four skinny little girls and one small boy, all black and white, all urgently needing food, care and safety. We took them in immediately, and they are now being fed regularly, checked by our vets and given the support they need to grow stronger every day.
Sadly, these are not the first unwanted puppies to arrive at SCAN, and they will not be the last. That is why our message is simple: please talk to us before things reach crisis point. We want to work with owners and families to reduce the risk to mother dogs and puppies, and to help find safer, kinder options before abandonment happens.
Can you help these puppies take their next steps?
1. Help us name these five cheeky, adorable pups. Please comment below with one male and one female name suggestion, and we will put our favourites to a volunteer poll next week.
2. Like and share this post to help spread our message: SCAN is here to help, and we would much rather support owners early than see more vulnerable puppies abandoned.
3. If you are considering adoption, please complete our online questionnaire, available through our website:

Our five puppies are continuing their vaccination programme and, if all goes well, will be available for adoption next month. For any questions about adoption, please contact Nicola on our Adoption Hotline: 685 924 153
Or email: [email protected]
Thank you for helping us care for more unwanted puppies, share the message and encourage people to ask for help before abandoning animals in need.
