Puppy left in planter outside BC SPCA office had mange, infections and parasites
“One of our staff members came to the animal centre before opening to walk one of the dogs in our care and noticed movement in one of our planter boxes. When they went to check what it might be, they found Poppy.”
Aside from being abandoned outside in the cold, Sattar said when they checked the security footage they saw someone pull up in the middle of the night and put Poppy at the gate of the centre.He added that it was so sad seeing Poppy try to run after the car, which then stopped, grabbed Poppy again and put her in the planter box where she stayed for hours until she was found.
“Unfortunately, this is not the first time a dog has been left at our animal centre after hours,” Sattar said. “We want people to know that if they are no longer able to care for their pet, for whatever reason, they can bring them to a BC SPCA animal centre during regular hours. We would be happy to take them into our care.”BC SPCA centres returning to regular adoption hours
When Poppy was examined by a vet it was determined she had mange, a secondary skin infection, ear infections and was loaded with parasites. “The lymph nodes in her groin were so swollen that she was x-rayed to rule out masses and a possible hernia,” Sattar said.
