On 4 October 2019 in Launceston Magistrates court a Perth woman pleaded guilty to animal Cruelty charges. She was charged with failure to provide the dog with sufficent food. The dog was found at a property in Perth in April 2019 and taken immediately to a vet.
The dog was very weak and wobbly, her condition was so bad she had to stay at the vet for a week until she had some energy.
In a foster home, she was given the new name of Annie and gradually put on weight.
Her owner has a criminal record, they were ordered to pay RSPCA $2429.37 in costs. They have a 6 months Community Corrections order to be under supervision of a Community Corrections officer during that time. They have a 35 hours Community Service order and are not to have custody of any dogs for a 3 year period.
Annie has now been adopted. She is one happy girl.
