The RSPCA is trying to trace the owner of a Jack Russell terrier dog who was found in an emaciated condition on waste land in Worksop. The female dog, who was around six to 12 months old, was found on land behind Welbeck Street close to Worksop Railway Station. The dog sadly died after being found.
A member of the public contacted the animal charity and RSPCA inspector Leanne Booth went to the aid of the white and tan coloured dog on Sunday, May 14, but she passed away by the time the officer arrived at a local vets.

The RSPCA said there's a possibility the dog was abandoned at the location she was found. But if not it is unlikely she had strayed far from her home as her condition was too weak.
Inspector Booth said: “This poor dog was completely emaciated. She was cold and wet and unfortunately she had passed away by the time I arrived at the vets.
“She isn't microchipped, but I don't believe she will have strayed far and she may even have been dumped. We would be grateful for any information about this dog, so we can find out who owns her.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the RSPCA appeals line number on 0300 123 8018.
