SSPCA caring for dog abandoned in Inverness
Bulldog left at retail park with information sought on the owners
The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a dog was found abandoned, tied up behind a local supermarket in Inverness.
They were alerted to the discovery after people grew concerned about continuous barking on Monday (June 11th) at the back of Tesco's on Eastfield Way at the retail park.
Scottish SPCA Chief Inspector Iain Allan said, “The British bulldog cross was found tied to fencing by a red lead and was clearly distressed"
“She’s suffering from sore paws and an infection in both eyes. She’s currently being looked after at our centre in Inverness where she is receiving the necessary treatment and is described as being sweet and gentle by our staff there"
“We’re keen to find out as much as we can and urge the public to get in touch if they have any information that may help.”
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.
