The RSPCA is appealing for information after an injured five-month-old lurcher was found dumped in a garden in Dartford, with CCTV footage capturing the moment.

A member of the public found the trembling lurcher in their garden in Queens Gardens in Dartford, on Monday 16 January at around 10pm. CCTV footage revealed that the pup, who had a severe leg injury as well as puncture wounds all over his body, had been thrown over the garden fence.

Animal Rescue Officer Brian Milligan said, “This poor lurcher puppy was callously thrown over a garden fence and left to suffer with multiple injuries. He must have been in a lot of pain, scared and confused.”

“We don’t know how the lurcher, who we’ve now named Stanley, came to get these wounds but they are concerningly consistent with injuries we see in dog fighting. We believe this young pup could have been used as ‘bait’ to train other dogs.”

The CCTV footage shows a vehicle pull up round the back of the gardens before someone – seemingly a white male – exits the vehicle. He then lifts the lurcher puppy and throws him over the fence and into the garden before leaving.

Brian added, “We are now appealing for anyone with information to please contact us, in strictest confidence, on the inspectorate appeal line 0300 123 8018. If you saw anything suspicious in the area on Monday night or live in the area and also have CCTV, or have any information at all which could help our investigation, please get in touch.”

“The poor dog is understandably shook up and trembling. He’s now on pain relief and getting the treatment that he needs. So far he is doing well but he’s not out of the woods yet sadly.”

Stanley, who is not microchipped, was taken to the . As the injury in his leg is infected, the leg will likey need to be amputated.
