DECEASED DOG WHATAWHATA
*POSTING ON BEHALF*
Im really sorry this isn’t the nicest thing to see
But all I want is this poor darling to be reunited with its owners, so I thought I’d share on here in case anyone knows where she may be from
“🌹My friend is driving her home to his farm near Raglan to bury her shame on the council because she was 200 metres out of their zone. I've scanned her again taken her collar off picked her flowers she's large and had puppies in the past my friend will give her a dignified burial 😔awful sad situation she's beautiful 😢😥💔
I'm with the dog that's passed away on Whatawata Road found her, female looks bull mastiff or De Bordeaux looking I've scanned her no chip. Pulled her out of the drain pretty disgusted with animal control told me NZTA job I said she's been here for one week so I've read. She's large red collar. My friends put her on ute we are driving her to Afterhours vets in hope they will hold her. Animal control told me they won't accept her as she's on statehighway even after I said I'd drive her there 😥”
