The SPCA is appealing for information after three abandoned puppies were found in a public bathroom in Napier.
The five-week-old puppies were found by a member of the public in a bathroom at Perfume Point, and police were contacted.
They were found on a black sweatshirt with no food or water.
All three puppies are male, and are now recovering at the SPCA in Napier.
SPCA Regional Manager Bruce Wills said it was heartbreaking to see vulnerable animals abandoned like that.
