The RSPCA said Roxy had been 'seriously neglected' to get into such a poor state.
The RSPCA is appealing for information after a "painfully skinny" dog was found hiding behind a bush in a garden.
Nicky Thorne, from the RSPCA, said: “Emma was incredibly concerned about Roxy as she was cowering behind a bush and seemed very frightened. It looked as though she’d given up. Ms Fowler took Roxy to a local veterinary surgery and vets there alerted the RSPCA as she was so emaciated they were concerned she had been neglected for some time.“She looked starving and shockingly thin but she was so sweet once she realised we were friends and we were there to help her. She was grateful for the attention and it was such a relief to get her to safety.
“It’s clearly taken a significant amount of time for her to get into this state so I suspect she’s been seriously neglected."
