A manhunt for a thug who shot a puppy with a crossbow and then chained her up has been launched.

The poor Belgian Shepherd – called Nala – was found with the bolt in her leg by a passerby by the side of a road.

The 10-month-old pup was rushed to a vet and miraculously she survived.

The RSPCA were alerted and an investigation has been launched.

The poor pooch was found at the junction of the Sibsey Road and Pilleys Lane, Boston, Lincolnshire last Tuesday (17 Sept).

Animal rescue officer Dan Holman said: “She is a very friendly dog and it is heartbreaking that she has gone through such a horrific experience.

“We just don’t know why someone would do this to an innocent animal.

“The vets removed the bolt from her leg and she is making a good recovery.

“Despite what she’s been through, she is a friendly dog and loves being told she is a good girl. She absolutely adores head and ear scratches too.”

The dog was microchipped which revealed her name was Nala.

The RSPCA has followed up the details on the chip but haven’t been able to find the owner.

Mr Holman added: “Because we don’t know where she came from, we’re appealing to the public for help.

“If you have dashboard footage from the area from that day we’d be grateful if you got in touch.

“She was found at around 7.30am, next to the river on the road, near to the golf course.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact the RSPCA’s appeals line, in confidence, on 0300 123 8018, quoting reference 1354000.

Sadly, weapon attacks on animals have become more common – with the RSPCA seeing a 23 per cent rise in reports about the number of animals targeted last year, compared with 2022.

Last year, the RSPCA received reports about 370 animals being targeted by weapons, up from 300 in 2022.
