Who would do such a thing to a dog? 😥

Last month, the Animal Welfare Section of the Gozo Ministry rescued a male fox terrier. An x-ray later revealed that the dog had more than 50 shotgun pellets embedded in its body.

Although the dog’s age is unknown due to the inability to examine its teeth, it was determined to be a young adult. When rescued, the dog had a dislocated leg and limited vision in one eye.

The dog has now been transferred to the Gozo SPCA shelter, where the organization has promised to give it a peaceful environment and help it acclimate to human interaction.
