A dog breeder is "desperate" to stop a nine-month-old puppy being put down after he was "neglected" by his owners.
Astrid Mahon, from Leeds, welcomed four puppies into her home on July 7, 2022, when her cockapoo Luna gave birth. One of the male puppies and identical twin, named Cedar, stayed with her for five months before being taken to his "forever home" in December 2022 by a family.
Astrid, who decided to sell the puppies when the cost of living crisis hit, said: "I did my utmost best to choose a loving family for him, who would love and care for him as I had." However, her once "clever and sociable" pup was left "malnourished" and turned "very nervous of everyone and everything" after fourth months in his new home.
