A greyhound described as being a “bag of bones” was taken into emergency care after being found in a poor condition. Greyhound Mable, as she’s now being called, is under the care of Cardiff Dogs Home, and is being fostered.
She was found in the Cefn Mably and Michaelston-y-Fedw area on the evening of Wednesday, November 19, and was taken to the PDSA for immediate care. RSPCA deputy chief inspector Gemma Black has been following up a number of enquiries.

“When I met Mabel I can only describe her as being a bag of bones,” she said. “We are so grateful to the person who took her to the PDSA, who provided her with the care and treatment she needed and Cardiff Dogs Home for taking her into their care.
“We have been working in the background following up a number of leads, but we are still appealing for further information in regards to who may have owned Mabel.
“Our inspectorate appeal Line can be reached on 0300 123 8018 and we’d urge anyone with first-hand information to get in touch. Incident number 1682725 can be quoted.”
Mable has been doing well and has already gained 3.5kg.
Inspector Black added: “We like to thank those at the PDSA and Cardiff Dogs Home for caring for this lovely dog and wish her a speedy recovery.”
RSPCA Cymru say incidents of animal abandonment being reported to the RSPCA are on course to be at a six-year high.
That’s why this winter, the charity has launched The Big Give Back to Animals to raise vital funds for their frontline teams, and to ensure they can keep being there for the animals who give us so much, and ask for so little in return.
