The B.C. SPCA is investigating yet another case of animal cruelty in Metro Vancouver.

An emaciated dog, named Louis by SPCA staff, was abandoned at a West Vancouver pet store last week.

The six-year-old male border collie was found tied to a shelving unit behind Cute Paws Pet Food & Supplies at 1760 Marine Drive on Feb. 18.

“It’s heartbreaking,” West Vancouver SPCA manager Dragana Hajdukovic said. “It can be really tough on staff and volunteers and the public to be witness to a case like this.”

The B.C. SPCA hopes to identify the dog’s owner.

Anyone who recognizes the dog or has any information about this case is asked to call the B.C. SPCA’s animal cruelty hotline at 1-855-622-7722.
