Dog dumped in cage outside Dumbarton animal rescue centre as SSPCA launch appeal
Staff at the SSPCA centre in Dumbarton are seeking the owner of a German Shepherd which was dumped outside the premises in a cage this week.
Staff at an animal rescue centre showed up to work to discover a dog left abandoned in a cage outside the facility.
The dog was dumped outside the Scottish SPCA'S Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Dumbarton.
The male German Shepherd was heartbreakingly left in his dog crate, with a blanket draped over the top of it at the facility in the Milton area of the town.
Staff discovered him on Sunday, June 22
He was microchipped but the number was invalid, meaning that SSPCA officers have so far been unable to track down his owner.
The SSPCA is now urging anyone who recognises the dog to contact them in confidence by calling 03000 999 999.
The animal welfare charity's Milton base includes four dog kennels with exercise runs, a 28 unit cattery, space for seven rabbits, 10 units for small animals, four units for ferrets and eight vivariums of varying sizes for snakes and reptiles.
The centre always welcomes donations of food, treats, or other items for the animals in its care. You can view what the team at Dunbartonshire and West of Scotland Centre urgently needs on the centre's Amazon Wishlist by clicking here.
