Abandoned dog Sadie is looking for a new home

A dog abandoned in Crumlin on Sunday morning was rescued by My Lovely Horse volunteers, who are seeking the public’s assistance in finding a home for the Bully-breed girl called Sadie.

Most of MLHR’s work involves rescuing horses that have been abused and abandoned, but increasingly they are taking calls to help dogs.

Just last month, one of their volunteers rescued an “8 to 9 month old baby girl” Pocket Bully tied to a door of a Carry Out off licence in Clondalkin, after “two young men” were seen running from the scene.

XL Bully dogs were added to a list of restricted breeds at the start of the year by the Irish government, with a doubling of on-the-spot fines of up to €300 for people who don’t control their dogs appropriately.

This has led to an increase in cases for the animal rescue group.

Martina Kenny, co-founder of My Lovely Horse Rescue, said social housing tenants are not allowed to bring the dog with them if moving to a new home, leading to increased calls.

A Facebook post by MLHR said: “This beautiful young girl was found tied to a pole in the early hours of the morning by the fantastic An Garda Síochána Crumlin.

To say they have all fallen in love with her is an understatement.”
