STAFF at Margaret Green Animal Rescue have posted an encouraging update after attending an ‘upsetting’ case of animal neglect.
The Wareham-based charity recently took on 25 dogs in need of medical care and attention after a raid on a property in Devon prompted by reports of animal cruelty and neglect by an irresponsible breeder.
A total of 96 dogs were seized in a scene described as “incredibly disheartening” by their rescuers. Many of the dogs were suffering medical conditions such as hernias, dental problems, skin issues and breathing problems. One, named Edwina by charity workers, had to have an eye removed.
Treating the animals has already cost the charity in excess of £15,000.
