Dog looking for loving home after it was left tied to gates of rescue centre in Manchester
Staff at Dogs Trust Manchester are looking for a home for a dog that was tied to the railings of a rehoming centre during the night.
Oscar the Caucasian Shepherd was found tied up outside the entrance to the Denton-based rehoming centre when staff were opening up around 6.30am on Friday 3 January.
Claire Lavin, Assistant Manager at Dogs Trust Manchester, said: “This is the first time this has happened since we opened in 2014 and it was really upsetting and such a shock. He was tied up with his lead but he is a big, strong boy and we are just very lucky that he hadn’t managed to pull himself free.”
Nobody has come forward to claim Oscar, two, so he is now ready to find a new, loving home with an active family and he could happily live with children aged fourteen and over.
On average, Dogs Trust receives one call every six minutes from people wanting to give up their dog.
Claire says, “People have to give up their dogs for all sorts of unavoidable reasons and if that’s the case, we would ask people to contact a rescue centre. That way we can find out as much as possible about the dog which helps us find them their ideal home as quickly as possible, and of course it means we can avoid unnecessary suffering and distress to the dog.”
