A concerned neighbour contacted the charity’s National Animal Helpline reporting that the owners had moved out three weeks previously and a dog had been left at the property.
The neighbour had been looking after the dog in the meantime prior to contacting the ISPCA for assistance.
An investigation was immediately begun and it was possible to prove that nobody other than the ISPCA and the concerned neighbour attended to the dog for a further three days. The dog was then taken into the care of the ISPCA.
Unfortunately the dog was not microchipped and, despite the efforts of Inspector Whyte, the Meath Dog Warden and local Gardaí, efforts to locate a potential owner have thus far been unsuccessful.
“It appears that the dog is another casualty of the recession”, said Inspector Whyte, “where the owners have just moved on due to financial difficulties. Luckily the dog is in good condition and once all avenues are exhausted regarding ownership she will be neutered and put up for rehoming”.
