The Guelph Humane Society is looking for answers after a malnourished dog was found wandering near Exhibition Park on Sunday afternoon.
The Shih Tzu was found in “deplorable” condition by someone on the Royal Recreation Trail and was secured by an animal protection officer, according to a news release.
The Humane Society said the dog, whom they described as a senior, was dehydrated, extremely underweight, suffering from severe hair loss, and as well had untreated eye and skin conditions.

Anyone with information is asked to call 519-824-3091.
