A Welsh charity has issued a devastating update on some of the dogs from the 'worst-bred intake of dogs' they have ever seen. Hope Rescue, in Llanharan, received the dogs from the local authority after they were seized on welfare grounds.
Ten English Bulldogs were signed over in total, two adults and eight puppies. After an initial review, the dogs were reported to have a number of health issues including cherry eye, invested corkscrew tails, excessive wrinkles and folds, and significant issues with their legs, spines and hips.
However, the charity has since confirmed that many are in worse condition than initially thought. A spokesperson announced: "We’re devastated to report that several of the bulldogs have been diagnosed with parvovirus. These guys have had the roughest time, and now have to deal with this as well. "
