They are small, white and fluffy: Nevertheless, their owner apparently no longer wanted them: In Bad Tölz, three mini-Maltese were apparently abandoned.
Three small dogs were
abandoned
in
Bad Tölz
.
One of the
mini-Maltese
was run over, the other two are being
nursed back
to the
shelter
.
For four weeks one of the mini-Maltese had to struggle alone in the
forest
.
Everything from the region can be found in the Bad Tölz newsletter.
Bad Tölz
- Two of the
dogs
are now living in the
Tölz animal shelter
, the third was
found dead on the roadside
.
On October 9, the police brought one of the small dogs to Peter Fichtner's shelter for the first time.
The officials had found the four-legged friend in the area of the B 472 on the northeastern outskirts.
Mini-Maltese exposed in Bad Tölz: animals found “emaciated and in poor condition”
"The dog was
emaciated
, matted and in very poor condition," reports Fichtner.
In addition, the
mini-Maltese was
"a bit snappy".
Fichtner doesn't blame the dog for snapping his finger first.
"You don't know what he's been through."
Exactly one month later the next report came in at the animal shelter: Another
mini-Maltese had been discovered dead
on the roadside of the B 472 at the level of the Sappl exit on Mühlberg.
The finders also sent the shelter a photo of the dog that was presumably run over.
But Fichtner did not find the carcass on site.
Mini-Maltese have to fight their way through the forest for four weeks - and build a nest between tree roots
Last week a
passer-
by saw a
mini Maltese
walking around
on the way between Ellbach and the Kirchseemoor
.
“But he couldn't be captured,” reports Fichtner.
The walker came back the next day and found the mini-Maltese a little further on in a hollow between tree roots, where it had built a
nest
.
She took him to the shelter.
It seems like the little dog has
survived in
the wild
on its own for
at least
a month
.
"Dogs come from nature, they don't starve to death that quickly, they eat worms, for example," says Fichtner.
He's just amazed that the fox didn't grab any of the mini Maltese.
Bad Tölz: Animal shelter is nurturing mini Maltese again
And in winter, the
chances
of pets
surviving
in
nature
would have decreased rapidly.
Fichtner brought the found animals to the
vet
and nursed them up.
It is clear to him that
the dogs know each other
, because they now share a basket amicably.
The vet estimated her age to be around two years.
A dog weighs around 1800 grams.
Fichtner assumes that the
previous owner
abandoned
the three dogs
.
He himself has seen a man in the area of the train station with three little white dogs in the past.
Other witnesses also report such observations in the Lettenholz area.
Former dog owner probably abandoned animals - police are looking for clues
Anyone who has a
clue as
to where the three mini Maltese come from should
contact
the
police
.
According to Fichtner, the animal shelter generally keeps every found animal for at least four weeks and only gives it away when it is completely healthy.
If that is the case, Fichtner hopes
to find
a nice
new home
for the
mini Maltese
.
Scared and neglected: The animal welfare association and veterinary office found the gelding “Jacky” locked in a single box.
