The RSPCA has launched an appeal for information after a cocker spaniel was found collapsed in an emaciated state in Stourport.
The black/tan female dog was found by a member of the public in the Hartlebury Common area on the evening of May 7 and was taken to a vets in Kidderminster.
There she was euthanised on welfare grounds and the RSPCA were notified.
It is appealing for information to track down where the dog came from.
RSPCA Inspector Emily Cheeseman - who has been making enquiries - said: “This poor dog was emaciated, dehydrated and was having seizures.
"She also had terrible matted fur.
“The vet suspected that she had been unable to get up for a while - so although we don’t know what has happened we have concerns she could have been dumped.
“Unfortunately even though she was microchipped - the details were not up to date so we have not been able to find out where she came from.
“She’s quite a distinctive dog, so we’re appealing to anyone who may have first-hand information to help with our enquiries.“
”The RSPCA would like to thank those who have been involved in this incident.
“We’d of course like to thank the vets, but also to the member of the public who found this dog and took her straight to a vets."
Anyone who can help can call the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018, quoting incident 1514266.
