Department of Agriculture’s Animal Welfare & Control Unit Appeals for Information on Abandoned Dogs in West Bay
The Department of Agriculture’s Animal Welfare & Control Unit is appealing for information from the community of West Bay, after two dogs were found abandoned and severely malnourished in West Bay, off Mercury Close.
The dogs, an adult Black & Brown female and an adult White & Grey female, were reported by concerned members of the public. Animal Welfare & Control Officers responded to the call and found the dogs in a concerning state of neglect, as shown in the pictures below:
The Animal Welfare and Control Officers understand that people’s circumstances can change which may mean they can no longer care for their pet(s), or are struggling to pay for veterinary care, but there is never an excuse to abandon your animals.
Remember, there’s always help available for pet owners in need. Please reach out for help to the CI Humane Society, another local animal charity, or the Department of Agriculture before resorting to abandoning your pet(s).
If you have any information about these dogs or anyone who recognise who they are for, please contact our Senior Animal Welfare Officer in strict confidence via the following channels:
Telephone: 345-928-1153 / 345-947-3090
