Appeal after death of badly injured puppy found in cage at Lancaster riverside

The RSPCA has launched an appeal after the death of a puppy who was found on a footpath in Lancaster. (Please note, some may find the images in this story distressing.)

The eight-to-10-week-old dog, thought to be an American bulldog, was found covered in blood in a large cage on a woodland path next to the River Lune at Mainway, Lancaster at about 6pm on Friday October 17.

She had major facial swelling, teeth marks and puncture wounds on the top of her head and suspected fractures of the upper and lower jaw.

“She was found in a large cage, so if the person or persons responsible had walked any distance carrying her in that, it’s possible they might have been seen.
