Dogs neglected and abandoned

Slough: Appeal for information following heartless act

Slough Borough Council is appealing for information after two dogs were dumped at The Shamrocks pub in Parlaunt Road.

The two dogs were found by a member of the public tied up outside the pub on Saturday, February 19, at approximately 4.10pm.

They were both very thin and underweight and one of them had a bad skin condition. The resident took the dogs home and called the council’s stray dog warden.

The warden collected both dogs and noted their poor condition.

It was later viewed on CCTV from The Shamrocks that at 2.44pm an adult male and boy had been captured tethering two dogs up on the posts with bungee ties, and then leaving them behind.

Neither dog is microchipped and no one has come forward to claim them.

The council is appealing for anyone who recognises the adult male or the boy from the CCTV images to make contact as soon as possible.

It is also interested in hearing from anyone who recognises the dogs themselves. The female grey bulldog-cross is around two years old and the female tan Jack Russell is around six years old.

Both were taken to a local vet for health checks. The vet confirmed they have not got mange but a bad flea and mite condition. They have provided treatment for both dogs. They are now being cared for in kennels.

Anyone with information is asked to call Ian Blake on 07917 092909 or email Ian.Blake@slough.gov.uk
