RSPCA appeal after neglected dog callously dumped
The dog is recovering well in RPSCA care
A skinny and neglected dog was found callously dumped in Grimsby, promoting an RSPCA investigation.
The seven-year-old female Akita was found straying in the North East Lincolnshire town on April 8 by a person, who then took her to Blue Cross Animal Centre on Nelson Street. When she handed in she was wearing a very dirty pink harness and small pink jumper.
Staff realised the poor dog had been neglected as she was emaciated with her bones protruding. She also had a bad skin condition so the matter was reported to the RSPCA.

The “pandemic is not yet over” as England has seen COVID-19 cases of the Indian variant double in the last week, the Health Secretary has said.
England’s coronavirus R number has increased slightly from 0.9-1.1 to 1.0-1.1 over the last week, latest government figures show, meaning for every 10 people with COVID-19, they will transmit the virus to between 10 and 11 others.
However, it is a different picture in Greater Lincolnshire with 150 coronavirus cases recorded this week so far and no COVID-related deaths, just six more cases than last week and one less death – put down to the high rate of vaccination in the county.
