Animad collected four puppies that had been abandoned at a rubbish collection area in Madalenas thi week.
Luckily, reported Natália Vieira, the animals were uninjured and had been well looked after. She suspects that the puppies were left there on purpose so that people could take them.
The good news is that the puppies, which were at the Veterinary Hospital of Madeira, have all been adopted.
A dog was rescued from a river in Machico by firefighters, who suspect it was intentionally thrown into the river.
