Home needed for left-for-dead pets now joined at the hip

They were scalded with boiling water and left for dead.

The month-old shitsu-spaniel dog and the common (or garden) cat had been spotted wandering for days near the village of Ardfert, near Tralee, limping and “begging”, said Suzanne Gibbons, founder of the national animal shelter Animal Heaven, Animal Rescue.
