A female German Shepherd was found shot in the head and dumped in a plastic bag in a ditch in Co. Meath this morning.

A member of the public made the discovery while out walking on a quiet road off the R164 between Moynalty and Kingscourt. The Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is appealing for information following the discovery.

ISPCA Inspector Elaine Whyte said: “She was in good condition prior to death and was wearing a black collar but there was no ID tag or microchip. She had been shot twice, both at close range.”

The dog was believed to be two years old.
