PLEASANT HILL — Five puppies left abandoned in a Pleasant Hill park are now available for adoption.

The puppies were found inside a garbage bag by a couple on January 19.

The couple says they were walking their dog in the park when the dog alerted them to a trash bag near a garbage can.  The tiny terriers were found inside and later taken to the Contra Costa Animal Services shelter.

The Puppies are currently housed at the East Bay Animal Rescue & Refuge.VIEW SLIDESHOW: Abandoned Puppies Up For Adoption
