A starving dog who was abandoned at home for at least two weeks has been rescued by the RSPCA and rehomed. Shadow the Staffordshire bull terrier was emaciated and "craving attention and company" when animal inspector Justin Stubbs found her deserted in a Kent property in January this year.
She had been left for days in a small blocked-off area of the kitchen with no food and little water, and was only able to toilet in her own living space. Inspector Stubbs said: "The fact that there was no faeces there appears to suggest that she had eaten it due to hunger or that she had not been fed."
