SSPCA launch appeal after deceased dog found on bank of River Tay

The Scottish SPCA is seeking information after a deceased dog was found washed up on the banks of the River Tay.

The female dog was discovered beside a boat ramp at Newburgh Sailing Club, located on the Perth and Kinross border.

A member of the public came across the body on April 9 and contacted Scotland’s animal welfare charity.

Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer Kelly McGuire said: “It’s estimated the female dog was quite young and potentially had a brown coat.

“Due to loss of fur and length of time she was in the water, we are unable to ascertain what breed she is.

“She is a medium sized dog with angular features.

“At the moment we have no reason to believe there was any foul play involved in her death but we are keen to find out the circumstances surrounding how she came to be in the water.

“It could be that she got away from her owner and unfortunately drowned.

“We would urge anyone with any information to please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
