A sweet young dog who was discovered disposed in a cage with a note from ‘struggling’ owners has actually been rescued by the RSPCA.
The puppy, who’s experiencing a leg defect, was left by the side of an Oxfordshire roadway with a black terrier who wound up getting away from the cage and has regretfully not yet been discovered.
The set had actually been entrusted a note that read ‘Please feed and look after me. My owner is struggling to look after me’.
Inspector Stephanie Law from the animal well-being charity said: ‘We were contacted by a member of the public who had found two dogs in a cage beside a road located between Northmoor and Stanford Harcourt.
‘Alongside this dog, who has been named Rudy by the team caring for him, was a second dog, a black terrier, who escaped out of the ramshackle cage when the member of the public who found them tried to pick it up.
‘Unfortunately, we’ve been not able to find the 2nd dog and have actually alerted the dog warden in the hope the dog is generated as a roaming.
‘If anyone knows where this dog is, or has any information on who abandoned these poor dogs, we’d motivate them to call us.’
This heartbreaking case comes as distressing brand-new figures launched by the charity program that, April 2023 alone, officers have actually handled 1,508 reports to their emergency situation line of an animal being abandoned.
That’s an increase of almost 10% compared to the exact same month in 2015.
Even in this cost of living crisis, it’s never ever alright to leave an animal like this.
If you require help, the charity has actually opened a telephone helpline – 0300 123 0650 – to provide assistance to anybody having a hard time, and they’ve introduced a brand-new cost-of-living hub.
Stephanie included: ‘It is really upsetting that these dogs have been abandoned alongside this note.
‘We know times are really tough right now. We’re doing whatever we can to help keep family pets in caring houses any place possible.
‘We’re pleading with individuals not to abandon animals and motivate anybody who is having a hard time to look for help.’
If you acknowledge Rudy or have any info about the missing out on terrier, you can call the RSPCA, in self-confidence, on 0300 123 8018.
