Appeal launched by the RSPCA after three dead dogs were found in plastic bags in Pentrebach, Merthyr Tydfil.

Animal Rescue Officer (ARO) Kirsty Morgan, who collected the bodies, said:

“The vet estimates they had been deceased a couple of days and are around four years old.

“Each of the dogs had wood shavings on their coat, around their mouths, and were wet. Two dogs appear to be of reasonable body condition but one was very thin.

“Alongside them were also a bag of woodshavings which also included a cable tie, dog toy and a piece of wood. The bottom of the bag was sodden in urine.

“Unfortunately none of the dogs were microchipped so we’re unable to find out who they belonged to.”

Kirsty added: “Whatever has happened here, it is very sad that these dogs have died and we’d like to thank the person for contacting us so we can make enquiries.

“Anyone with any first hand information to give us a call on the RSPCA Inspectorate Appeal line on 0300 123 8018, and can quote 01416870.”
