‘Extremely upsetting’
Animal rescue officer Ollie Wilkes, who collected the physique of the dachshund puppy, stated: “Incidents like this are extremely upsetting for members of the public to come across, and we’d like to thank everyone who stopped to help.
“For those of us who love our pets and treat them as part of the family, it’s difficult to understand how someone could dump the body of a dog in circumstances like these.
“Every abandonment call we get tells a different story, but the cost of living crisis is clearly having an impact. Sadly, with more owners feeling the pinch, we’ve seen many resorting to desperate measures – like dumping animals who perhaps become ill or they can no longer afford or don’t want anymore.
“Coupled with a boom in pet ownership during the pandemic – with some new owners potentially unprepared for the long-term commitment – it has left us facing huge animal welfare challenges.”
