RSPCA appeal for information after emaciated dog found in Llanelli

The unwell rottweiler dog – who is thought to be aged around 10 – was found on Saturday (7 October) near the WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre with the finder kindly taking him to a veterinary practice.

RSPCA inspector Keith Hogben said: “This dog – who is clearly unwell – has a large mass to his right hind, pressure sores and his ribs, hips and spine are clearly visible.

“He was found close to the wetlands centre, but unfortunately the contact number for the person who took him to the vets isn’t working so we can’t get further specific information from them.

“We don’t know where he came from and what has happened, so we’re hoping an appeal for information may help with our enquiries.”

The RSPCA is now appealing for anyone with first hand information to get in touch via 0300 123 8018 and can quote 01166640.

The dog – nicknamed Dennis – is now receiving veterinary care.
