Dogs found 'in shocking state' find forever homes

Five dogs found abandoned in a field and in urgent need of help have found loving homes thanks to the care of a Windsor animal charity.

Miniature Schnauzers Nora, Mave, Orla, Frida and Marge were brought into Battersea's Old Windsor centre after being discovered in poor condition, with heavily matted and overgrown fur.

The pooches, whose ages range from nine months to six, also required treatment for their ears and teeth and were believed to be ex-puppy farm dogs.

They were given a full makeover by Battersea staff including a much-needed bathing and grooming session and have now adapted to life in the outside world.

After a few weeks of care from the charity’s vets, groomers and canine experts, the Schnauzers were ready to find their forever homes.

First to leave Battersea’s care was Mave, who joined her new family in Berkshire, while in the following days, Marge, Orla, Frida and Nora went to their new homes across the country.
