Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!
A young greyhound who was brutally mutilated and found in Tramore by members of the Waterford SPCA is slowly recovering.
Aoife - the name given to her by the rescue team - had both her ears cut off and was wandering around Tramore, terrified. She was finally rescued and brought to safety. According to Andrew Quinn, Waterford SPCA, "it took us a number of hours to catch her because she was so shaken from her experience. We started off in the Church Road area of Tramore she then ran to the Golf Course and we finally caught her on Cliff Road. By the time she was rescued she was very dehydrated and she is malnourished"
Aoife was cared for over the weekend and went for a full check - where it was decided to send her to a specialised unit where she can rehabilate. Once she is back to full strength she will need re-constructive surgery on her ear canals to ensure her ears can be drained properly.
Anyone with any information regarding Aoife or the brutal attack on her can contact Tramore Gardaí on (051) 381333 or Waterford SPCA on 841432. If you have information on this case, please contact:
