CLERMONT COUNTY, Ohio (WKRC) — Another litter of puppies was dumped in Clermont County, Ohio.

The warden said the suspect left the dogs in a blanket with a pile of kibble. Nine of them were recovered at a popular fishing spot. They are believed to be only 8 weeks old.

They will now be up for adoption. The Clermont County dog warden said two fishermen had quite the unexpected "catch" after seeing a red or maroon truck speed off.

They didn't really think much about it. They said it's kind of a common fishing area that a lot of folks know about, but once they got out and got their fishing poles, they realized that something was out of the ordinary there because a little puppy started coming into the roadway and coming out of the brush," said dog warden Tim Pappas.

The spot is off the beaten path on a country road. None of the homes are close enough to have security footage of the area, but maybe someone caught the truck as it sped by.

"If we catch you, you will be prosecuted, but it's just the disservice to the animal itself. It's so inhumane. I mean, there's coyotes that could kill the dogs. These dogs could get out and get hit by a vehicle," Pappas said.

Just a week ago, eight Great Pyrenees puppies were dumped in Pierce Township. Pappas said that despite the hundreds of shares online, nobody has come forward with a tip. He's hoping that won't be the case for these puppies.

"This is really getting old, and you know, we may not have the availability or room right at the moment when a person would come in and say, 'Hey, I have these puppies, and I need to get rid of them,' but we're going to bend over backwards to try to find you some type of resource," Pappas said.

Pappas said the dogs are doing okay since they were most likely found right after being left. They'll be ready for adoption soon enough. The shelter will vaccinate, spay or neuter, and microchip them.

He also said that fixing your animal will prevent unwanted pets.

'I'm not speaking on behalf of ours, but some shelters are going to turn from no-kill shelters to kill shelters," said Pappas. "But we need the public's help to spay and neuter your pet."

The puppies are expected to be ready for adoption this Saturday. They are all named after types of fish in honor of the fishermen who found them. That includes sheepshead, sunfish, walleye, perch, sturgeon, hushpuppy, catfish, carp and bluegill.
