The incident took place last Friday when the suspect, who identified himself only as “Chris”, contacted the East Pennsboro Township Police Department and claimed to have found the puppies near Susquehanna-Perry Park in Enola, Pennsylvania, according to a statement released by the department.
“A short while later, East Pennsboro Police located a milk crate containing seven puppies that had been left abandoned on the stairs at the East Pennsboro Township Police Department,” the authorities reported.
Police expressed concern over the health risks posed to the puppies due to their young age and separation from their mother.
