Mutilated and abandoned dog Moomin “very loved already" after arriving at Sheffield rescue shelter

Moomin, a bulldog, has come into the shelter’s care from the police after being abandoned at a property and “left to her fate”.

Helping Yorkshire Poundies, a dog rescue charity based in Rotherham, wrote on Facebook: “It’s becoming such a regular story now, and not to mention she is yet another poor dog with mutilated ears.

“[She is] made to look ‘tough’, yet she’s even frightened to step inside our office.”

Despite appearing to be a happy girl in the photos, Moomin has “clearly not had a loving home”, for example running away when her microchip needed scanning.

She is estimated to be about four years old.

The post continues: “She’s had plenty of puppies to make someone a lot of money at some point.
