Emaciated and neglected dog found wandering in Wiltshire village

The animal welfare charity was called after a member of the public discovered the lurcher running loose in the road in Edington on Salisbury Plain Saturday 18 February.

RSPCA inspector Charlotte Coggins, who is investigating, said:

“This poor dog was incredibly thin and nervous. He also had injuries and wounds on his neck and body.

“He has a microchip, registered in Liverpool, but this is not updated with information, so we’re really keen to find out where he’s come from and how he came to be alone and injured.”

Since his rescue Bronco has been receiving care at an RSPCA rescue shelter where the team are working to rehabilitate him and build up his weight and strength ready to find a loving new home.

Anyone who recognises Bronco or who may have information about where he’s come from is asked to contact the RSPCA’s appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
