Dog discovered tied to a gate trying to nurse six new born puppies in Roscommon

A lurcher dog was found nursing her six new born puppies while chained to a gate in a field near Elphin, Co. Roscommon.  A kind-hearted member of the public discovered them and alerted the Gardaí and the ISPCA.

The dog and her puppies were transported to the ISPCA National Animal Centre in Longford for urgent veterinary assessment and apart from being cold and hungry, they do not appear to have any health issues.  It is unclear how long they had been left in the field.  They are being closely monitored in ISPCA care.

ISPCA Centre Manager Hugh O’Toole said:  “Leaving a young dog only two years old tied up without water, food or shelter most definitely put her along with her young puppies’ lives at risk.  We are urging pet owners to spay or neuter their pets as early as possible to reduce the high number of unwanted animals. I don’t understand how anyone can think it is okay to leave a dog tied to a gate to nurse her puppies.  With the recent level of rainfall and cold weather this week, the outcome could have been very different and I’m happy we were alerted so we could help them”.

Hugh added:  “The dog was scanned to trace her owner but unfortunately she was not microchipped which, is a legal requirement. Our Centres’ are constantly full to capacity and with very limited resources, we sometimes have had to use private boarding kennels to help the number of animals waiting to come in, once space becomes available. It can also take time to find good responsible homes for the many animals in our care.

The ISPCA is urging pet owners to consider the positive benefits of neutering/spaying their pets and to talk to their vet as soon as possible. It also prevents accidental litters of puppies or kittens being born in the first place. 

The dog has been named Emmy Lou and her little puppies are named Billy Ray, Dixie, Dolly, Dotty, June and Pats

Con una cadena en el cuello y seis crias alimentándose, una perra ha sido encontrada por una mujer que llamó a las autoridades en Irlanda. La perra fue víctima de maltrato y fue abandonada sin comida ni bebida y agarrada a un palo en la localidad de Elphin.

Cuando una vecina la encontró estaba amamantando a sus seis crías. La mujer dio aviso a la Policía y a la Sociedad Irlandesa para Prevención de la Crueldad Animal (ISPCA, por sus siglas en inglés), quienes se movilizaron rápidamente.

El gerente del centro de ISPCA, Hugh O'Toole, dijo que "dejar a un perro joven de solo dos años atado sin agua, comida o refugio definitivamente la pone en riesgo con la vida de sus cachorros. Instamos a los dueños de mascotas a esterilizar o castrar a sus mascotas lo antes posible para reducir la gran cantidad de animales no deseados. No entiendo cómo alguien puede pensar que está bien dejar a un perro atado a una puerta para cuidar a sus cachorros. Con el reciente nivel de lluvia y clima frío esta semana, el resultado podría haber sido muy diferente y estoy feliz de que nos hayan alertado para poder ayudarlos ".

El perro se llama Emmy Lou y sus pequeños cachorros son Billy Ray, Dixie, Dolly, Dotty, June y Patsy. Permanecerán bajo el cuidado de ISPCA hasta el Año Nuevo, cuando tendrán la edad suficiente para poder ser dados en adopción.
