Owners sought for abandoned dogs
Sixteen dogs found in a collection of more than 200 at a house raided by the RSPCA have been sent to Shropshire in the hunt for new owners.

The dogs, Shihtzu and Lhasa Apso breeds, have been sent to Gonsal Farm Animal Centre in Shropshire.

Some are still being treated for eye and skin complaints.

Barbara Hunter, from the RSPCA said: "Because these dogs have lived in large numbers, then living in a normal home environment is going to be a big change for them.

"They are nice little characters, and we just think they deserve a second chance."

Experienced owners who know how to look after these type of dogs are needed.

Anyone who is interested in owning one of the dogs is asked to contact the RSPCA.
