Public funds €3k surgery for puppy burned and tortured

Animal-lovers in Limerick have raised more than €3,000 to fund life-saving surgery for a puppy subjected to ‘horrific’ torture by former owners.

Public funds €3k surgery for puppy burned and tortured

The five-month-old terrier was rescued by Limerick Animal Welfare (LAW) after he was thrown over a wall into a garden in the Southill area earlier this month.

Now named George, the pup showed signs of being tortured – the tips of both his ears and his tail had all been cut off, he had an eye injury, a broken leg, two broken hips, a broken pelvis, scalds on his stomach, cigarette burns on his face and his whiskers had been singed off.
