The Ontario SPCA is investigating after a dog in need of vet attention was found abandoned inside a crate along side the road.

On November 17th around 3:40 pm, a person driving to the Kingsway landfill site near Moonlight Avenue found the dog inside a green and beige plastic crate just before the entrance.

The female terrier is believed to be between four and five years old that was severely matted and suffering from a prolapsed uterus.

The dog has been adopted since but anyone with information is asked to call the province wide animal cruelty hotline.
