Derry woman convicted after dog found living in 'unhygienic conditions' and no access to water

A Co Derry woman has been banned from keeping animals for five years after being convicted of causing unnecessary suffering to a German Shepherd dog and two puppies last year.

The complaint was brought against Nadine Wells of Cornshell Fields by Derry City and Strabane District Council under the Welfare of Animals Act (NI) 2011.

An investigation was carried out by the local council's Animal Welfare Officer, after a complaint that a German Shepherd puppy was hanging out the top window of a home trying to drink water off the outside of the window.
