Two dogs and a very young puppy were abandoned and left in a crate by a trash bin in Waterford last week.
They will likely be available for adoption soon thanks to someone who noticed them and brought them to the animal shelter.
The dogs and puppy were found on July 12 at the condominiums at 310 Boston Post Road, according to the Waterford-East Lyme Animal Control Facebook page and the Waterford Patch.
That was just a couple days before temperatures jumped into the 90s.
If animal control cannot find an owner, the dogs will be available on July 21.
The original post generated dozens of comments from people commending the person who brought them to animal control and wishes that the dogs find a good home.
Animal Control warned that negative comments would be deleted.
The Patch reports that animal control received more than 60 calls from people looking for more information.
Animal Control said there is no justification for abandoning animals and to instead bring them to a humane society or animal shelter.
