Officials visited a home in Beaufort after receiving a report that the family’s dog had bitten another dog, according to a news release. They found a mother dog and her five puppies, all of which appeared to be starving.
The puppies are believed to be about 4 weeks old, the release said. Animal Services immediately took custody of the dogs and cited the owner.
The mother and her puppies were examined by a veterinarian who said all the animals are extremely malnourished and anemic.
Animal Services urges the public to call 255-5010 if they believe an animal is being mistreated. Reports can stay anonymous.
