Anger as a bald traumatised dog was 'discarded' by an ‘isolated’ quarry

The RSPCA and their followers on Facebookwere left angry and sad after the charity shared a heartbreaking post about a small dog that was dumped in an 'isolated' South Yorkshire quarry on a festive night. The images of the poor animal are distressing.

It was only a miracle that the pup was discovered on time.

Appalling cruelty

A small dog got a new lease on life after it was miraculously found abandoned in a remote location by an ‘isolated’ quarry on a festive night. The pooch was traumatised and scared. The distressing images shared by its rescuers show that the poor animal has almost no hair.

The RSPCA South Yorkshire Animal Centre that took the pet in, called it a ‘tragic’ case of neglect and extreme animal cruelty.

The dog, who was not named by the charity, is now on her road to recovery, which includes extensive treatment, medicated baths and weekly check-ups.

The animal welfare organisation wrote on Facebook:

This little girl was abandoned in a quarry on New Year’s Eve; in such an isolated place, it is very lucky that she was found in time.

The dog now often wears a knitted jumper in order to keep warm due to its nearly bald body and 'likes to snuggle up for a nap in her favourite fluffy bed'.
