A DOG was found outside a hospital without food or water.

The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after the pooch was found outside the A&E department of the Royal Alexandria Hospital on May 15.

Scotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted after the dog was seen alone, with no food or water and untied outside the building in Paisley.

Glasgow Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre Manager Anna O’Donnell said: “The poor wee girl was found on her own last Tuesday and we’re concerned that her owner went into the hospital and was unexpectedly kept in.

“We’ve named her Doreen and she’s currently being cared for here at our centre in Glasgow.

“Doreen is between three and five years old and is a friendly wee soul so we know someone will be missing her.”

Anyone with information is being urged to contact the Scottish SPCA animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
