An emaciated dog was found in Moor Nook by the RSPCA after a call from a concerned member of the public.The female pocket bully was found with cropped ears – which is an illegal procedure in England and Wales – during Thursday 22 February.Moana, whose ribs were clearly visible, weighed 16.8 kg and was given a body condition score of two out of nine by the vet who examined her.
“We’d like to thank the member of the public who stopped to help and ensured she got the treatment she needed.”RSPCA Inspector Susie Michallef said: “We’re appealing for anyone who recognises Moana to come forward. We can’t say with certainty what’s happened, but her welfare has clearly been compromised – particularly given she had cropped ears, which is an illegal process here – and we think the most likely scenario is that she’s been deliberately abandoned.
