Four dead dogs found dumped by side of road in plastic bags
‘It must have been a very distressing find’
An appeal has been launched after four dead dogs were found dumped in plastic bags on the side of a road in Cheshire.
They were discovered in plastic bags on Thursday May 4th at 4pm, at Houndings Lane, Sandbach. The dogs ‘had been dead for some time’, the charity says.
The animals are believed to be under six months old and looked like rottweiler-type dogs, the RSPCA says.
RSPCA animal rescue officer, Fay Bowers, said: “We are very saddened to find out about these dogs’ deaths — and we’d like to thank the caller for letting us know. It must have been a very distressing find.
“Unfortunately as these dogs had been dead for some time we are unable to find out much about them or able to run a post mortem.
“We don’t know how they died but the circumstances do appear suspicious.
“We are concerned about what has happened to these dogs and we would appreciate anyone with any information to get in touch with us to help us with our enquiries.”
Anyone with information about these dogs is asked to contact the RSPCA inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018 and quoting 01066929.
