Tammy Davis, the shelter’s executive director, said the puppies are estimated to be 6-7 weeks old.

Due to their young age, the puppies aren’t available for adoption currently but will be in the future.

The people/person who did this needs a serious behind the barn, schoolyard discussion. You know, where they get "taught" that animals are Gods creations also. They need accountability thrown to their ass!! I'm being as "polite" as I possibly can in this situation.
