Officers belonging to the Salobreña Policía Local rescued six puppies that were found in a plastic box behind an urbanización in the beach area.
A municipal-police patrol in Motril came across four puppies in a rubbish hopper on Monday the 19th whilst out on their early morning rounds.
In years gone by, visitors to Spain were dismayed to see abandoned boxes of kittens by rubbish bins, donkeys and horses chained to stakes without shade or water, and dogs wandering around with open wounds.
