Charity plea to find stray’s pups

A stray dog that was found in Coatbridge recently had pups..

Bonnie the Canary Mastiff was taken to the SSPCA after a member of the public found her at the Shawhead flyover.

They were also able to identify she had recently given birth to a litter of pups.

Animal rescue officer Emma Sergeant said:“Bonnie was handed in to the police station in Coatbridge and we were contacted as there were concerns for her welfare.

“Bonnie was in a very poor condition and was underweight.

“It was obvious she had also recently had pups as her teats were full of milk and were very swollen.

“We think she has had more than one litter of pups in the past and we are concerned for her pups and where they are now.

“This poor girl is just over a year old and, although she is microchipped, the details are out of date.”

The charity said they will keep Bonnie at their rehoming centre in Hamilton until Friday.

A spokeswoman said:“Unfortunately, we haven’t had any leads with information relating to Bonnie.

“She will be held for two more days for anyone to come forward with info and if no one comes forward she will then be available for rehoming.”

Anyone with information can contact the centre on 03000 999 999.”
