The female was in such poor condition she had to be put down
Last updated 28th Mar 2017
The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information to find the person who abandoned an elderly dog in Glasgow.
The female, which is thought to have been 12 to 16 years old, was found around Murano Street, Maryhill in Glasgow on the 15th of March.
Senior Inspector Billy Linton said, “We are appealing for anyone who recognises the dog to get in touch as she was found emaciated and in very poor condition.
“Sadly to end the dog’s suffering she had to be put to sleep under veterinary advice.”
Abandoning an animal is an offence under the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006. Anyone found guilty of doing so can expect to be banned from keeping animals for a fixed period or life.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact the Scottish SPCA Animal Helpline on 03000 999 999.
