Three dogs dumped outside Putney Animal Hospital

19.12.11

Three lurcher dogs were dumped outside the RSPCA Putney Animal Hospital in London on Thursday, 15 December, with a note saying their owners had been made homeless and could no longer care for them.

The dogs were found by RSPCA staff at 10.30pm tied to railings outside the hospital.

The female dogs - Beauty, a three-year-old, Taura - a one-year-old and Puppy, a six month old were all found together.

Clinical manager, Sian Anderson, said:

These dogs were left outside in cold, wet conditions, hoping that someone will find them.

They are lovely dogs and it is such a shame that their owners have been irresponsible enough to simply dump them here.

It is a criminal offence to dump animals in conditions that are likely to cause them suffering and anyone found responsible could face up to six months in prison or a fine of up to £20,000. 

Can you help?

Anyone who knows who the dogs belonged to is asked to contact us on our 24-hour cruelty line: 0300 1234 999.
 

All calls will be treated in the strictest confidence.

The dogs were cared for at Putney Animal Hospital but no spaces were available at RSPCA animal centres, so they have now been transferred to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
