Update from November 30th, 6.40 p.m.:

The news that

three neglected

mini-Maltesers

were found

running freely

on the northeastern outskirts of

Bad Tölz

- one of them was run over - hit the waves on Friday.

But that information was only the tip of the iceberg.

At the weekend the

police

and a crowd of volunteers

searched the

area for more dogs - and they found them.

The owners of the animals are now being investigated.

Mini Maltese exposed in Bad Tölz: Several dogs are said to live in the forest

Myriam Kohler from the

"Katzenbergung Wolfratshausen-Geretsried"

has been on the trail for some time

.

The organization had been informed that a whole group of

mini Maltese had been

living in the forest

near Bad Tölz

since the end of August

.

Kohler and her colleagues then took up "detective work", she told the

Tölzer Kurier

.

Their findings: A mother and her son are said to have been evicted from their rented apartment in the

Lettenholz

area

and then

camped

with around

15 dogs in the forest

.

“We found four different abandoned deposits,” reports Myriam Kohler.

The animal rights activists informed all hunting tenants and forest workers in the area.

The Tölz veterinary office was also involved.

At the same time, three

mini-Maltese

have been

gradually

found

since the beginning of October

: One was dead on the side of the

B 13

, two ended up in the

Tölzer animal shelter

.

Bad Tölz police are looking for a storage area with dogs in the forest

Additional dynamism came in the case after the

Tölzer Kurier reported

on Friday that these

three dogs

had been found.

According to the deputy head of the inspection, Andreas Rohrhofer, a number of

callers came forward with information

about the alleged owners of the small, white dogs in the inspection.

“We then looked to see if we could find the holder,” says Rohrhofer.

The officers looked at a

campsite in the forest

near the Sitec company that they had been informed of, but found no one there.

According Rohrhofer were then on Saturday two

strips crews of Toelzer police

the area in question on the go, on Sunday they got support of three

strips of riot police

, who were by chance in the area.

The

animal rights activists were also looking for

a large number

: According to Myriam Kohler, volunteers from Tierhilfe Weyarn-Waakirchen, the Loisachtaler fawn rescue, the Oberland mobile fur nose helpers, the animal welfare association of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district and the Wolfratshausen-Geretsried cat rescue took part.

A

drone

and a

thermal imaging camera

were used.

Two more mini Maltese found in the forest

In fact,

two other mini Maltese

were found.

According to Kohler, both were "in a pitiful condition, completely emaciated and matted."

This mini Maltese that was found at the weekend was “in a pitiful state”.

The keepers apparently camped with up to 15 animals in the forest.

As Rohrhofer reports, a

police

patrol met

the dog owner

on Sunday at around 3 p.m.

on the

B 13

in the

Kranzer

area

.

The 54-year-old said she was on her way to

overnight accommodation in Sachsenkam

.

Her son (36) took the remaining dogs - the woman assumed there were five - to

Munich

.

According to Rohrhofer, an

investigation

is underway against mother and son

for violating the Animal Welfare Act

.

According to the police file, the

veterinary office

also took action

.

An employee found the owners and a confusing flock of dogs of nine to eleven animals in mid-October and made another appointment for October 19.

However, owners and dogs were no longer to be found.

The

veterinary office then issued

a decision on the

confiscation of the animals

.

Mini Maltese could cost up to 1,600 euros on the market

District office spokeswoman Marlis Peischer only explains at the request of the

Tölzer Kurier

that the case is

known to

the

veterinary

office, but that the keeper has not yet been found.

"Everything else is conjecture."

According to Myriam Kohler, the

mini-Maltese

that were found

are particularly small specimens, as they emerge from targeted

inbreeding

.

“A normal

mini Maltese

weighs three to four kilos, this one only weighs 1,500 to 1,800 grams.” Unfortunately, there is a market for such animals, and each specimen could easily reach

800 to 1,600 euros

.

Kohler makes a strong appeal to only buy breeding dogs from approved, reliable breeders in order to avoid animal suffering.

Five dogs have now been found, five allegedly in

Munich

.

Kohler assumes that

four or five animals are

now

leaving

.

You and your colleagues want to keep looking.

"But I do not assume that we will find them still alive."

Three mini Maltese abandoned in Bad Tölz: Police officers found the dogs in the area of ​​the B472

(Initial report)

Bad Tölz

- Two of the

dogs

are now living in the

Tölz animal shelter

, the third was

found dead on the roadside

.

On October 9th, 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 was received 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.

Now the 14-year-old horse is finally doing better in Vaterstetten.

And Johannes Fisch and his father Josef in Fürstenfeldbruck received animal visits in the home office.

A pack of wild boars was walking through the family garden.
