A North Shields man has been disqualified from keeping dogs for two years after he left his dog unattended in an unsuitable environment for long periods of time and he became underweight.
Callum Paramos, 21, of Seymour Street, North Shields, appeared at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court on Thursday March 2. He pleaded guilty to one offence under the Animal Welfare Act in that he did not take steps to ensure that the needs of lurcher dog Zeus were met.
Zeus, a black-brindle short haired lurcher, was found in the Seymour Street property in August 2022. He was found to be underweight, with his bones seen protruding from his body, and had been left unattended for long periods of time.
