Last December, I was contacted by a serving Police Officer at Glasgow City Centre Police Office telling me of a beagle (Oscar) that was in the kennel there. It had been taken off a guy in the street who had been seen abusing it and he had been charged with animal cruelty. Another chap, a relative of the accused I believe, had then turned up at the Police office claiming that the dog was his which the cops rightly disputed and declined to hand Oscar over to him. I contacted my good friend Jaine Mcpherson who runs Animal Support & Rescue Scotland to ask if she could help as I was in Merseyside arranging my Father's funeral at the time. She made huge efforts on Oscar's behalf, with the permission of the Police, to find him a foster home until the courts had dealt with the cruelty case. Jaine found such a home for him where he has now been since just after Xmas. The man who fostered him took him to the vets who identified some signs of neglect. Everyone involved thought that common sense and wisdom would prevail and that Oscar would be allowed to remain in his new home. Sadly this would appear not to have been the case and Jaine tells me that Oscar is to be returned to his former owner on Sunday ! Please help keep Oscar safe by signing this petition. thanks
a baby or young child wouldn't be returned to an absuer - like them animals are vulnerable, defenceless and without a voice - please show compassion to this poor dog and allow him to remain with people who care about his welfare.

Once an abuser , always an abuser, you lose the right to a second chance when violence has been used . This dog must not be retirned- he has spent 12 months in safety & will be traumatised to go back

So sad to read this. Oscar has been safe for nearly a year and now he could be in danger again and could be in the same position in another few months time. Animals need us to protect them. Hope common sense does prevail.

Even if the owner was not guilty of cruelty he allowed 'a relative' who did to look after his dog...,in my book that means that he, himself, is not fit to be responsible for any animal and should NEVER have Oscar back.

Please leave the dog in the home that has shown it love and care. Dogs are not possessions to be returned to bad homes like a pair if lost trainers

Why should such a lovely animal be put back in the hands of a mongrel !!!
