Five puppies have been rescued by Massachusetts police after their owner abandoned them, authorities said.

Police found five Cane Corso pups in different locations in Oxford and Charlton on November 7.

Two puppies were found by locals near Federal Hill Road in Oxford, while another two were found approximately 2.7 miles away from the first location near Clara Barton Road and Main Street in Oxford, police said.

The last pup was found near Buffum Dam Road in Charlton, after which the authorities asked people to help find the owner.

‘They appeared to be a little bit malnourished, uncared for, so we started looking into that with our animal control,’ Oxford Police Chief Jeromy Grniet told CBS News.

Police said they later received a tip that the dogs belonged to the owner of a home on City Depot Road in Charlton.

The authorities then located the owners and inquired about the puppies.

The owners said that the dogs went missing sometime between November 5 and 7, Boston 25 News reported.
