Read the full storyRSPCA appeals for help after 8 rare breed dogs are dumped across the East Midlands.
The bodies of four Hungarian Vizslas were found washed up at a pumping station in Lincolnshire on Wednesday May 9th.
The dogs were between four to six months old and it is thought they had been in the water for around two days.
In the same week two others were seen being dumped in the Newstead Park area of Mansfield and were taken into RSPCA care.
A member of the public had seen a silver 4x4 vehiclepull up and the dogs were then thrown out of the vehicle and the driver drove off.
Those two dogs were around six months old.
Last night two more Vizslas were found abandoned and tied to a For Sale sign in the Farndon Road area in Newark.
They are now being cared for by fosterers.
"We very rarely have to deal with Hungarian Vizslas as they are a rare bred and one which people will pay a lot of money for, which makes it more curious that someone would dump them.
"The RSPCA is clearly very keen to hear from anyone who may have owned any of these dogs, or perhaps knows of a breeder who has suddenly got rid of dogs of this description and age in a short space of time."
"These are blatant cases of animal cruelty and we would urge anyone with information to contact the RSPCA cruelty line on 0300 1234 999." Inspector Chris Shaw
