Limerick Animal Welfare rescue 'neglected' puppy with horrific injuries

LIMERICK Animal Welfare (LAW) have today attended what they describe as a “shocking case of cruelty and neglect.”

A young lurcher with a deep wound to her neck was rescued by LAW earlier today, June 27, with an appeal for donations towards her care being made.

LAW have stated that it is presumed the four-month-old puppy was attacked by another dog, with the deep wound left untreated for around a week before being rescued in Limerick city. 

The young lurcher pup, named Mercy by staff, has been taken to Mid West Veterinary Clinic, Ballysimon Road for emergency treatment, with LAW adding that her wounds will take a "long time" to heal. 

“This poor puppy has suffered horrific cruelty and neglect. Limerick Animal Welfare rescued her and she is now getting the veterinary care she should have received after she was attacked,” said LAW on their Facebook page.

“The pain and suffering she has endured is unbelievable. Please donate to her care as she will have a long road to recovery.”

Please contact Limerick Animal Welfare on 087 6371044 or contact them via their social media to donate, or text LAW4 to 50300 to donate €4.
