The dog was also found with neck injuries, thought to be consistent with burning
In April this year alone, the RSPCA received 1,508 reports to its emergency line about an animal being abandoned. This in comparison with 1,370 abandonments for the same month last year, which shows a dramatic 9.6 per cent increase.
The charity worries that the cost of living crisis is leading to more owners abandoning their animals - but officers say there is ‘never an excuse’ to dump an animal. The charity has launched a new cost of living hub to provide support to struggling owners. Jennie said: “We know times are tough for pet owners right now - but there is never an excuse to abandon an animal like this.
“We urge any owner struggling with the cost of living to reach out for help. The RSPCA has launched a new cost of living hub and dedicated helpline - available on 0300 123 0650 - to provide support to owners at this difficult time.”
