A BADLY injured collie dog has been left abandoned a veterinary clinic in Rhyl.

RSPCA Cymru is hoping to speak to a man who "dumped" the dog, which has lost two toes and may face amputation of its right fore leg, at the charity’s Clwyd and Colwyn branch on Vaughan Street in Rhyl on Wednesday, May 1.

The man left no details, and claimed to be of no fixed abode, when the collie dog arrived at the clinic wrapped in bandages and letting off a very bad smell.

RSPCA inspector Rachael Davies said: “This poor dog was left at our Rhyl clinic in a really bad way – with a very dangerous foot injury.

“Amputation remains a possibility following treatment, and the dog has lost two toes – but we’re hopeful we have managed to save the leg.

“We’re eager to speak to the man who left the dog at the clinic – who left no funding for this costly treatment and no details."

While Ms Davies said that the man "at least sought help for the dog", they would like to speak to him about the collie, and also to check a second dog. it is thought he owns a Chihuahua.

Ms Davies added: “We are keen to speak to him about the collie, and we would like to check over another dog – a Chihuahua – who we understand remains in his care.

“Anyone with information, or the individual himself, can contact the RSPCA’s inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018.”
