A dying dog was found neglected with horrific wounds as an appeal has been launched to find her owners.
RSPCA inspector Nadine Pengilly was called to an address in Warrington on Sunday after a neighbour spotted a collapsed dog in a garden in Saint Katherine's Way. The neglected dog was in such a state of suffering, she had also developed sepsis.
The RSPCA was told residents at the property had been providing temporary care for Roxy, after they found her straying near a phone box in the street, but couldn't afford the vet care she needed. Nadine found Roxy in pain and with a burst mammary tumour, the size of a fist, and an overpowering smell of infection.
