AN appeal for information has been launched after an extremely thin dog was discovered with a large chest wound in Strathclyde Park.
The Scottish SPCA was alerted after the female dog was found in a very poor state by a member of the public in late June near to Belshill.
Vets made the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep to prevent further suffering.
Scottish SPCA Inspector Jack Marshall said: “She had a large wound in her chest that was possibly a week or two old.
“We’re urging anyone who recognises this girl to get in touch with our animal helpline on 03000 999 999 immediately.”
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.
