Scottish SPCA appeal after shockingly emaciated dog found near Helensburgh

The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a severely emaciated Staffordshire bull terrier was found near Helensburgh.

The tan-coloured staffie was found by a member of the public on the A818 Black Hill road last Saturday and handed to Police Scotland.

Inspector Laura McIntyre of the animal charity said: “We were notified by Police Scotland of a seriously emaciated dog who had been found on Black Hill.

“He is in a terrible state and has severe pressure sores on his back end, near his tail.

“We are keen to speak to his owner as soon as possible or anyone who can tell us more about this boy.

“He received much-needed veterinary treatment and is currently being cared for at one of our centres.

“We would urge anyone who recognises him or knows anything to contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
