| 3 GSD puppies when found |
Once
signed over to the RSPCA by their previous owner they came into branch
care to be rehomed. Their black sister was rehomed directly from
the kennels used by the National Society of the RSPCA, where they were
restored to health. All three have now found loving and caring
new homes. |
|
| These three GSD puppies had been left by their owner in atrocious conditions without any food or water on an allotment in Edge Lane, Droylsden. One of our Inspectors came across them whilst she was investigating a complaint about a dog attacking chickens on the allotment. The 3 puppies were found to be underweight, dehydrated and suffering from untreated diarrhoea. They were living in their own filth on shavings which had not been replaced for some time. Although their pen was covered they had little protection from the rain. Mr Ward pleaded guilty to six charges of animal cruelty and the case was adjourned until 26th March 2008 to give the probation service time to report. | ||

Nico as he was found Daniel Bradley moved in with his girlfriend and baby and left his four-year-old dog Nico behind. Weeks later a worried neighbour rang the RSPCA's cruelty line as they were so concerned about Nico. Nico's owner pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to the dog between 5 December last year and 5 January. He admitted that he had been too busy to visit the flat or feed Nico regularly and said that if inspectors hadn’t forced entry, he wouldn’t have returned for another week! Nico has now been successfully rehomed and has quickly learnt to answer to his new name Ben. |
