Dog found abandoned in Swindon Village
A DOG has been found abandoned in a field in Swindon Village.
The young male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross was found tied up along a footpath at the Elmfield Playing Fields this morning.
He was tied to some hedges with string at the fields, which are adjacent to the Midwinter allotments site.
A Cheltenham Borough Council spokeswoman said the dog had been taken to Cheltenham Animal Shelter earlier in the day by his owner, but was turned away because it was full.

“Swindon Village must have grown since I was last there! Neither Elmfield Playing Fields nor Midwinter Alltments are in Swindon Village, they are both very close to the Animal Shelter.”

"He is now being cared for at the animal shelter in Gardeners Lane."
Not that full then?”
