The financial officers found four dachshund-type puppies in the passenger compartment of a car transported on a trailer. During the inspection, it turned out that the driver did not have any documents for the barely six-week-old animals. The Romanian man was on his way to Italy with the small goods.
The uniformed officers notified the official veterinarian of the government office, who determined that the puppies had no vaccinations, microchips, and pet passports, and they could not be transported due to the lack of documents and their young age.
The driver continued to travel alone, and the confiscated items were taken in by a domestic foundation.
