Two tiny puppies are searching for a new home in the UK after being abandoned under a bridge and left for dead - now they just want someone to love and care for them

A pair of helpless puppies are desperately searching for loving homes after being abandoned under a bridge and left to fend for themselves. The tiny pups were discovered alone on a dirt track beneath a concrete bridge on a remote side road outside Katerini, Greece, with no sign of their mother or the person who dumped them there.

Animal rescuers say the puppies are in "imminent danger" and fear they could be killed if they remain in the isolated spot for much longer. Sharing an urgent appeal on social media, the rescue is searching for people in the UK willing to foster or adopt the puppies and offer them the loving home they desperately need.

They said: "Two helpless puppies dumped under a bridge - immediate rescue needed! Left in the absolute middle of nowhere on a side road outside Katerini, these two tiny puppies are currently fighting for their lives.

"In the images you can see the heartbreaking reality of where they were left - alone on the dirt under a concrete bridge.

"They are incredibly small right now, but they are expected to grow into perfect medium-sized companions, weighing around 10 to 12kg when fully grown.

"They are in imminent danger every single second they remain out there on the road.

"We are desperately searching for a kind-hearted foster or an adoptive family who can step forward, open their arms and shelter them from this nightmare.

"Let's get these sweet babies into a safe, warm bed where they belong."

The heartbreaking appeal has prompted an outpouring of support online, with many people hoping the pair will soon find the loving homes they deserve.

Commenting on the post, one person said: "Oufff... short hair long ears again! My weakness. So cute. They need getting out of there ASAP."

Another user added: "Hope someone will offer a safe place."

Greek Stray ResQ says volunteers are at the heart of everything they do and they rely heavily on support from animal lovers across Greece, particularly in northern regions where the need is greatest.

The group is encouraging more people to get involved, whether through volunteering, donations or adoption, saying even small acts of kindness can completely transform the lives of stray animals.
