Seven Pomeranian puppies were captured by Gardaí after a car was stopped at a speeding checkpoint in Kildare on August 29.
The car was stopped for speeding at the M7 checkpoint in Mayfield, Co. Kildare on Saturday 29 August.
It is understood that the driver did not show up and the car was searched.
The puppies were found in a plastic container in the trunk of the car and the driver, an adult male in his late teens, had no documentation to account for the dogs and their movements across the border.
None of the cubs were microchipped and they were too young to be separated from their mother.
They were then detained by duty officers under the Animal Health and Welfare Act of 2013 and transferred to the care of the Kildare and West Wicklow Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (KWWSPCA).

“No arrests have been made and a file is being prepared for the Director of the Public Ministry in relation to the seizure of the dogs. The investigations continue,” they added.
On the other hand, Gardaí has increased seizures of dogs in recent months.
At the end of August, the Gardaí seized 32 dogs in North Dublin, valued at more than € 120,000.
