Floss was found in a garage, subdued and incapable of moving, with her back left paw gone and exposed injuries across her body. According to the RSPCA’s DCI Gemma Cooper, Floss had returned to the farm just a day prior after being missing, supposedly due to a dog fight. πŸ•πŸ©Ή

Quick-thinking officials rushed her to receive much-needed veterinary care. The vet detailed Floss’s severe condition, noting her low body condition score and exposed elbow bone, but thankfully she remained calm and stable throughout treatment. πŸ₯🩺

The community’s support played a critical role in Floss’s recovery, with Β£6,000 spent on her surgery. She has since bounced back and found a loving new home through Dog’s Trust! 🏠❀️

The owner, Dyfrig John Davies, was charged under the Animal Welfare Act. Although remorseful, his failure to act earlier had dire consequences for Floss. He received a suspended 18-week prison sentence, alongside fines. βš–οΈ
