Right now, all this 'having a go' at the RSPCA isn't helping the OP or the poor dog in question. Quite obviously there is no other option but to report it and hope that they help the dog, unless you want to go and steal it?!

Save the RSPCA attacks for another thread!

Whatever, the truth will out, perhaps the OP would be better contacting a local rescue, morechance of getting help

Is there a local dog rescue place near you? I had a similar situation a few years ago with some horses - the RSPCA did nothing, but the local horse rescue centre went out to check.

I agree with the person that said take pics and go to the press. It's the only way to get things done where rspca are involved.

Get the media intrested in whats going on, then help is more likely to come.

At least its worth a try , to help the little one.

How about your local dog warden? Some are really good, and they also have the powers to seize cruelty cases.

Would these people - https://www.yorkieandtoybreedrescue.co.uk/ - be able to help?

I doubt anyone can do anything to change the circumstances it lives in as the owners seem to be unwilling to recognise they are doing anything wrong,and astonishingly even believe they care about the dog.

Only the RSPCA have the power to demand change or take the dog away for a better life.

Any news on this case?

Well, as some of the forum members have already said - why on earth do they have a dog in the first place? Could you have the dog full time? You know, if you offered to take her - you could be doing them a favour!

One of our cats came to us this way, she belonged to a someone in housing estate. She used to come to the office a lot, we started feeding her. She was always the first in and last out. Used to break my heart chucking her out on Friday afternoon, not knowing if she'd be able to get to her home for the weekend or if she had to stay out (those cold winter nights). Then her owner got taken into hospital so I took the cat home and posted a note through their letter box to say I'd taken her for the weekend. I was terrified that the owner would go mad and accuse me of stealing their cat. Well, Monday came and I brought the cat back to work with me - this went on until Wednesday when the owners parents turned up with a can of whiskas and asked if I wanted to keep the cat! So clearly I did them a favour! So it was a win-win situation in the end.

I think the OP had offered to take the dog but the owners refused?

I agree - we want an update!
