A dog found on a Paisley street in a very serious condition has been put to sleep.
The female, Staffordshire bull terrier type was found in Ferguslie Park on May 14 with a hugely inflamed and ulcerated mass on her lip.
She was also suffering from another of other health conditions and it was decided she would be put to sleep due to the pain she was in.
The Scottish SPCA is now appealing for information to learn more about how the dog came to this condition.
Scottish SPCA inspector, Isla Bell, said, “The dog is an older female, and is mostly dark brindle in colour. She has four white paws and a white chest.
“She was not microchipped or wearing a collar or any tags.

“After a veterinary examination, it was discovered that she had an inflamed and ulcerated lip which affected her teeth. It had likely been this way for a long period of time, and would have been extremely painful.
“She also had overgrown nails, and a number of other health conditions which were causing her an extensive amount of suffering.
