When the Dog Warden carried this poor animal into the rescue staff and visitors alike looked on in despair. You could literally count the ribs and just about see every single bone in this small body. The dog was in a very bad way when it was brought in and rescue staff went into an all too familiar routine, regrettably this was not the first dog that staff and particularly the founder of the rescue, Anne Owen, has seen in the last 34 years of its existence. Staff have named the poor dog Carla.
Having been assessed Carla was transferred to our vets who were waiting for her when she arrived, she was put on a drip and started on the road to what is likely to be a long recovery, both physically and emotionally. Hopefully there will not be any lasting health problems caused by the neglect that this poor animal has suffered over a number of months, possibly even all her life ..................and they say dogs are a man's best friend.
