Watch: Woman Caught on Camera Dumping Bag of Newborn Puppies at Dumpster

A California woman was caught on camera cruelly discarding a plastic bag full of healthy, 3-day-old puppies at a dumpster, like so much trash. Riverside County officials are not taking it lightly, and are currently looking for the woman in the video, or any information that might lead to her.

In a Facebook post, they explain that the security camera footage shows the woman dumping the puppies next to a dumpster behind a NAPA Auto Parts store in Coachella. An employee of the store contacted animal services after a passerby discovered the 7 terrier-mix pups, trapped and overheating in the plastic garbage bag.

The responding officer, Jose Cisneros, asked to see the store’s security tapes and that was how they discovered the evidence, which includes not just the woman but footage of her vehicle. . .

“Animal Services’ veterinary team members cared for the puppies and lined up a rescue group partner organization to take over bottle feeding duties,” the Facebook post explains. “MeoowzResQ, a Southern California-based organization specializing in kitten and cat rescue and fostering, agreed to accept the pups.”

The man, identified as John, who found the puppies probably saved the puppies from dying from the heat, suffocation, starvation, or other possible outcomes. “The Good Samaritan played a major role in saving theses puppies’ lives,” said animal services Commander Chris Mayer. “His actions were humane and heroic.” (Read more from “Watch: Woman Caught on Camera Dumping Bag of Newborn Puppies at Dumpster” HERE)
