Puppy who lost ears in 'worst ever' botched illegal cropping gets new home

A puppy has finally found her 'forever home' after undergoing an illegal procedure to crop some of her ears, suffering the 'worst case' of cropping that an animal rescue charity has ever seen.

Four-month-old Martha, a Dobermann, who's tail has also been cropped, had to recover from the ordeal at the vets before finally being signed off by the vet to join her new family, StokeonTrent Live reports.

She was taken in by Cheddleton-based Dobermann Rescue UK after her ears had become so badly infected after the botched practice that they couldn't be saved. The charity said it was one of the 'worst cases' they'd ever seen in the country.
