The Shih Tzu kind canine who’s round 10 years old was discovered on 24 January within the Coytrahen space. Luckily she was noticed by a hedge and brought to a place of security, with the RSPCA being known as.
Veterinary therapy was instantly sought and she or he is now in care of a RSPCA foster care while enquiries are being carried out.
RSPCA Inspector Keith Hogben, who has been investigating this incident, together with Deputy Chief Inspector (DCI) Gemma Cooper, mentioned the canine was discovered on land that’s identified for fly tipping.
“We’d like to thank the person who found her, who was also understandably very upset to see her condition and who did clip the hair around her eyes as she could hardly see.”

Keith mentioned the canine – who has been affectionately named Patsy Pancake – has had a troublesome few weeks.
“As soon as she came into RSPCA care she started to receive the much needed vet care that she needed,” mentioned Keith.
“She was firstly clipped to take away her closely matted coat which was contaminated with faeces.
“Worryingly she did take a turn for the worst and became poorly with sepsis, however, she is now recovering well. She is now with a foster carer and has settled in well to her new environment.”

DCI Cooper added: “It was touch and go as to whether she would survive but the staff at the vets have been incredible and they helped to make a miracle happen.”
An attraction for info has now been launched to help with enquiries.
“If anyone can help us with our enquiries and has first-hand information about this dog and who her owner was, please do get in touch by calling 0300 123 8018 and can quote 01213820,” added Keith.
