Debbie Culwell aka Deborah Sue Culwell is identified as the woman who dumped a bag of puppies behind Coachella, California auto parts store. 

u Californiaauthorities on Monday arrested the woman caught on camera allegedly dumping a bag of newborn puppies next to a dumpster behind an auto parts store.

Deborah Sue Culwell, 54, was apprehended at her Coachella, Calif., home circa 5:30 p.m. by Riverside County Animal Services Commander Chris Mayer, the department announced.

The alleged puppy dumper faces up to seven counts of felony animal cruelty after  tossing the seven newborn dogs — believed to be just days-old Terrier mixes — near the trash behind a Coachella Napa Auto Parts last Thursday.

A store employee later found the animals in scorching 90-degree temperatures and contacted Riverside County Animal Services.

‘There is no excuse for dumping puppies,’ animal services commander Chris Mayer said in a Facebook press release.

Adding, ‘Especially in today’s age when we or other shelters would be willing to get these animals to foster parents or rescue partners. This was a shameful act.’
