Statement regarding abandoned puppy
We are sorry to announce that this little puppy has had to be euthanised due to the severity of his condition.
We are really very sad about it, but two vets decided the congenital problems the puppy was suffering from was leading to intense daily pain and that any surgery to rectify his leg deformities would not lead to any quality of life.
While at first glance he appeared healthy, x-rays and tests carried out revealed his problems were substantial and far reaching.
This was a decision taken by veterinary professionals.
The council had a foster family lined up and was in touch with lots of charities who could have provided a home and we were willing to do that if it was best for the puppy. Our priority at all times was what was best for the puppy.
Thank you again for your offers of help, homing and funding. It has been genuinely heart-warming to know there are so many good people out there.
The investigation into the ownership and the previous health of this puppy is complex and continuing.
