Their fur was badly matted upon discovery.
Five severely neglected dogs found in a Laois town by the ISPCA are recovering well after their rescue.
3 puppies alongside a male and female dog, all presumed to be Cavachons, have been found in Portlaoise this week.
Their fur had been so badly matted that it was hard to tell their exact breed.
All of them are now at the body's National Animal Centre in Longford - with Head of the Centre Cillian Costigan saying lots of fur was removed:
