RSPCA seeks new home for greyhound left tied up outside kennels in Sheffield

Eddie, who is four years old, managed to chew through his lead while he was tied up and was found on a busy road close to the Attercliffe-based kennels and cattery.

His RSPCA carers said he was ‘cruelly’ abandoned.

He was re-homed when his racing career did not take off, but his new owner later ditched him.

An RSPCA spokesman said: “Eddie is a fantastic and very lucky boy, who was cruelly tied up outside the centre and left one morning after being re-homed when his racing career didn’t take off.

“Unfortunately, determined not to be left behind, Eddy chewed through the lead he was wearing and made a bid for freedom - straight onto a busy crossroads.

“A gentle, placid and easy going dog Eddy is just a pleasure to be around. A typical greyhound, he is easily pleased by some good food, love and affection and the comfiest bed a dog could wish for.

“Having been intended as a racing dog, we are not sure how much time Eddy will have spent in a home, so may need to start from scratch in most of his basic training, although with time and patience he will surely get there.”
