A severely underweight German Shepard with a number of open wounds was discovered at a farm in Barrhead. The six-year-old male dog was discovered at Salterland Farm in the town on Thursday, April 9 and is now being treated at a vet clinic.
The Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) said the pooch does have a microchip but the details are out of date. The charity has urged anyone who recognises the dog, or has any information at all, to come forward and they promise confidentiality.
Disturbing images show the badly neglected dog, with bones protruding on its ribcage and the wounds visible all over its body. A Scottish SPCA spokesperson said: “A Male German Shepherd was found on the 9th April in Salterland Farm area, G78.
“He does have a microchip but the details are out of date. He is 6 years old.
“He was found very underweight and thirsty. He drank a whole bowl of water as soon as it was offered.
“He has many open wounds and was previously taken to a private vet before coming into our care. He’s now being treated by our vet clinic.
“If you recognise this dog or can provide any information, please contact our confidential helpline 03000 999 999.”
