Abandoned puppies 'doing well' says animal charity

Four puppies which were found dumped in a bin bag in Ramsey last week are now 'doing well'. 

That's the message from the ManxSPCA which is caring for the new-born puppies at its sanctuary at Ard Jekyll. 

They were found by a passer-by who spotted someone in a car throwing a bin bag over a wall into fields near the amenity site in the northern town on Thursday evening.

The puppies - two boys and two girls - are believed to be collies. 

The ManxSPCA says a vet has checked them over thoroughly and is urging anyone with information about who dumped them to contact the police who are investigating.
