Eight puppies were found abandoned in a cardboard box in freezing temperatures. The Responsible Dog Rescue in Southport saved the two-month-old pups, who were brought from Romania.
An urgent plea has been issued by a rescue centre after eight 'beautiful' puppies were dumped in a cardboard box and 'left to die'.

The Responsible Dog Rescue was founded by Rachael O'Regan and her husband in 2022, and has since offered a lifeline for mistreated animals. Since launching, Rachael has helped rehome 1,600 dogs across the world - particularly dogs rescued from Romania. She previously told the ECHO: 'I always get asked 'why rescue from Romania when there's so many dogs needing homes in the UK already?' My response is quite simple, we as a rescue save these dogs' lives, they come from absolutely horrendous conditions, where they have been traumatised, abused, severely injured and left for dead, that is a rescue.' Unfortunately, the cost of rescuing dogs from Romania is taking a massive hit on the centre's funding and they are 'struggling' as a rescu
