MT. MORRIS -- Four puppies were discovered by residents in Mt. Morris.

They say they found the three females and one male under a tree in the neighborhood last night.

The residents think they may have been abandoned, and are now looking to find good homes for the animals.  

"It's just heart wrenching for people to do that and I know this happens a lot that people are abandoning puppies and they don't deserve that," says Tim Elder.

Elder says he attempted to call the local animal rescue, but has not heard back at this point.

He says the dogs appear in good health, but should probably be seen by a veterinarian.

If you are interested in adopting a puppy, you can give Elder a call at 810-399-8833.
