Inspector Anthony Joynes said the discovery of the two abandoned dogs was “one of the saddest sights of my career”, adding “they were like skeletons”.
“When we arrived they were hours from death, and the property was strewn with empty food cans covered in teeth marks where the pups had scavenged for weeks in a desperate attempt to survive,” he said.
“It must have been so traumatising for them.”
Emily Rodgers, of Wrexham, adopted Jack in November 2023.
The 44-year-old said: “It makes me emotional to think of how Jack was found, but at least he can put that well and truly behind him now – and he has a family who adore him.”
Simone Smith, 43, adopted Poppy and said “she is an amazing dog” and “so loving”.
