These adorable puppies need a new home in the New Year.

They were born shortly before Christmas at Jasmil Kennels in Lower Halstow.

Their mother, a springer spaniel named Rosie by staff, was handed in by police after being found on the streets of Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey.

Kennel owner Barry Shuttlewood said: "Rosie is brown and white and about two years old.

"She had five boys and two girls. All will need good homes and will be ready to leave here at the end of February.

"They are mostly black with a tiny bit of white and they will all be micro-chipped and vaccinated before they are ready to leave.

"They are cross breeds. We think their dad may have been a labrador.

"People are welcome to pop along to see the puppies if they are interested."
