A rescuer spotted the a.ban.don.ed pooch and her offspring in a field in Elphin, a small town in County Roscommon, Ireland.
After freeing the animals, the unidentified person that rescued the dogs then took them to a vet at the ISPCA National Animal Centre in Longford.
Fortunately, all the dogs are healthy aside from being scared and hungry.
“A lurcher dog was found nursing her six newborn puppies yesterday while chained to a gate in a field near Elphin, Co. Roscommon,” ISPCA wrote on its Facebook page.
