A DEAD puppy has been found in a stream in Droitwich.
The dark grey and black short haired bull breed male puppy was found in water located behind Wye Close on Sunday (May 3).
The RSPCA is now appealing for information.
The puppy is estimated to be between eight and 10 weeks old and possibly a Cane Corso or Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog.
RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer (ARO) Meg Cross, who is making enquiries following the incident, said: “We’re grateful to the member of the public who found this poor dog and contacted us. It must have been very distressing to find.
“A member of the public who walks their dog in the area most days, said they didn’t see the puppy on the Friday (May 1) but found the pup on their next walk on Sunday (3rd May).
“However, the dog may have been deceased longer due to the condition he was found in.”
The puppy was collected by ARO Cross and was examined by a vet.
“There was no microchip present and no external injuries were found , but the circumstances are suspicious so we’d like to find out more information about what happened,” she said.
