The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a tiny puppy was abandoned in Victoria Park in Aberdeen.
Scotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted to the incident after a member of the public found the puppy on 2 August at around 5.50pm.
Scottish SPCA inspector Fiona Mckenzie said, “The dog is a tan, female Staffordshire bull terrier puppy. She is between six and eight weeks old.
“She is very lucky she was found by the member of the public as she was dehydrated and in poor condition.
“Unfortunately she is not microchipped.
“We are now extremely concerned for the welfare of the mother of this puppy and any other puppies in the litter.
“We appreciate that the person who left her may have intended for her to be found but this is not the correct procedure to follow if you can no longer care for an animal.
“The puppy is now at one of our animal rescue and rehoming centres where she is receiving the veterinary care she needs.
“If anyone recognises this puppy we would ask that they contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
