Ivy was horribly injured by another dog in her own backyard.

There were open wounds all over her face and body. But her owner didn’t take her to the vet.

Her head was swollen, infected fluid was seeping from her ears, and this sweet-natured three-year-old Staffy cross was also severely underweight.

Ivy needed immediate medical attention – it could not have been more clear. There is no excuse for leaving an animal in pain.

The number of animals in our care has hit higher levels this year than ever before. More and more will continue to come through our doors this winter - and many, like Ivy, will need urgent vet treatment and ongoing care.
