York police are looking for witnesses after six puppies were found abandoned by a road in the Township of King earlier this week.

Police were called to the area of Weston Road and 15th Sideroad around 2:30 p.m on Tuesday after a passerby found the puppies in a wire cage at the side of the road, police said in a news release Wednesday.

The puppies are described as "being similar to a Husky breed," police said. They did not appear to be in distress and had no visible injuries.

"The puppies were taken into the care of Animal Services where they will be receiving the necessary care and attention," the news release said, adding that they are not ready for adoption yet.

Anyone with information is asked to contact York Regional Police or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers.

How charges against 2 Uvalde school police officers are still leaving some families frustrated
Two indictments against former Uvalde, Texas, schools police officers are the first charges brought against law enforcement for the botched response that saw hundreds of officers wait more than an hour to confront an 18-year-old gunman who killed 19 fourth-grade students and two teachers at Robb Elementary. For some Uvalde families, who have spent the last two years demanding police accountability, the indictments brought a mix of relief and frustration. Several wonder why more officers have not been charged for waiting to go into the classroom, where some victims lay dying or begging for assistance, to help bring a quicker end to one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
