Dog with Puppies Abandoned at Gas Station: 1,000 Euro Reward for Information

As reported, a severely marked dog and her nine puppies were found abandoned in a box in the Weinviertel. The animals were left near the highway at a gas station in Stockerau – hypothermic, weakened, and infested with parasites.

Only four puppies survived

The full extent of the neglect was revealed during the veterinary examination. The puppies, in particular, suffered from weakened immune systems. Despite intensive medical care, only four of the nine young animals survived - Snow, Curly, Hanni, and Bailys.

The dog family is currently being cared for at the Assisi-Hof in Stockerau. A volunteer from the animal protection association is looking after "Mila" and her puppies around the clock in a private foster home. Regular veterinary check-ups accompany the recovery process.

Reward offered for information

The case has attracted attention not only in Austria but also in Germany. The animal rights organization PETA Germany has offered a reward of 1,000 euros for information leading to the conviction of the responsible person or persons.

"Mila" was chipped. She originally comes from the northern Hungarian administrative district of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén. How she ended up in Lower Austria is unclear. Investigations into the origin and abandonment of the animals are ongoing.
