The RSPCA is appealing for details after a pocket bully was cruelly abandoned in discomfort in a Lancashire forest.
The young dog was connected to a tree by an unique fluorescent pink lead when she was found on Saturday, August 12 in Knuzden Brook at Blackburn by a member of the general public who took her home and gotten in touch with the animal charity.
RSPCA inspector Vicki Brooks, who is examining, said: “We are trying to find the owner or person who tied this poor dog to a tree and left her just days after she had suffered such a significant medical issue.
“We don’t think she was tied to the tree for very long, but the vet says she would have had the prolapse for at least a couple of days before she was found. So that may be the reason why she has been left like this because someone isn’t prepared to pay for veterinary treatment for her.
“Someone may recognise this dog so we are appealing for any information. This is a small wood, which is surrounded by a residential area, and someone may have seen something or they may know someone who owns a dog like this.
“She’s a really friendly dog, despite what she’s been through, and she is recovering well after her surgery.”
The beige and white coloured dog was discovered in the forest at around 9.30am. Anyone with any details is asked to call the RSPCA appeals line number on 0300 123 8018.
The RSPCA has actually handled a substantial increase in the variety of animal desertions this year. In June alone there were 2,047 events reported to the charity RSPCA, compared to 1,527 in June in 2015, a 34% boost.
It’s among the factors the charity has actually introduced its Cancel Out Cruelty campaign, to raise funds to help its frontline rescue groups continue to save animals from cruelty and abuse and to raise awareness about how to stop cruelty to animals for good.
If anybody is having a hard time to spend for veterinarian expenses for their animals then the RSPCA has actually committed cost of living assistance, consisting of a telephone helpline on 0300 123 0650 and an online hub, which has great deals of practical pointers and suggestions, consisting of information of family pet food bank plans.
