Two tiny puppies have been found dumped in a cardboard box near a field outside Maidstone.
The six-week-old puppies were found by a dog walker, on 3 November, at the entrance to a field at the side of Warmlake Road in Chart Sutton near Maidstone.
The RSPCA was called and Inspector Teresa Potter arrived to collect the puppies and take them to a local vet for treatment.
Puppies were in poor condition
The puppies are both female Jack Russell terrier type cross breed puppies - one is wire haired and one is smooth coated. They had overgrown nails and fur loss.
Following treatment they were taken to the RSPCA Patcham Animal Centre in East Sussex, where they will be found new homes.
Inspector Potter said: "These puppies were found in a poor condition and had simply been left to survive on their own, which they would never have been able to. We would like to hear from anyone who knows who dumped them."
