An animal shelter in County Leitrim is appealing for information after a labrador puppy was abandoned and tied to a gate close to the shelter.
The labrador puppy is believed to be a mixed breed and was found tied to a field gate near the Leitrim Animal Welfare Centre in Barraghmore, Drumkeerin.
Staff were alerted to the puppy by a local farmer on Tuesday and he is now being cared for at the centre.
The centre has now issued an appeal for information to find the owners of the pup.
“This poor little Labrador X pup was tied to this gate and dumped near our shelter.
“Thanks to the local and kind farmers that found him and brought him to our attention.
“Our staff member Olivia came to the rescue and gave him love and reassurance before walking him back to the shelter where he’s now warm with a full belly.
“If anyone has any information on who dumped this puppy, please call us on 071 96 48300 or if you are interested in adopting him please email us at [email protected].”
