I live in a Dublin City Council flat complex in the south west inner city. They are duplexes, so the 2nd floor is more like the 4th. There is a Belgian shepherd abandoned on a back balcony since Thursday.
I have reported it to the local Garda station and they advised me they don’t deal with it, they were so unhelpful and couldn’t have cared any less. I’ve reported it to the animal welfare unit in DCC and the NSPCA and have got no response, and no one has came out.
The dog is so distressed, it’s literally howling and trying to bite through a wooden pane that’s used in place of a broken window.
The flat is a crack den, so it’s not exactly the type of place where I can approach the occupants, one of them stabbed their next door neighbour before…..
It’s literally licking rain water from the wall on the balcony and is walking along the balcony wall. It’s only a matter of time before it falls, or jumps 😭 wtf do I do??
Update: DCC animal welfare unit arrived about 15 mins ago, they could see the dog as it was literally hangover over the balcony, they took videos and photos. They went to knock at the door and there seemed to be no answer, however I could see curtains twitching so there’s people there. They have left, not sure what will happen now. I have also contacted my lovely horse.
