Appeal for Ted the Northamptonshire Search and Rescue dog launches to raise money for medical treatment

An urgent appeal to help pay for medical treatment for a Northamptonshire Search and Rescue Dog has been launched.

Ted, who works with the team to help others, was recently injured and is now needing urgent medical care...and the bill is rising.

A spokesperson for Northants SAR said: "We have to bring you all some sad news. Following Teds injury and while monitoring him his dad, Ian, noticed a degradation in his condition, swelling around the wounds and lameness.

"He immediately took him to the vets and they have treated him. including XRays, stitching and antibiotics, already facing a bill of £515. Ted is awaiting further checks and tests. We are starting an appeal, for Ted to help cover the costs, which will probably increase.

"Ted is loved by all the team, and every missing person he helps to find for Northamptonshire Police. No matter what he will be cared for and loved. Please share this appeal and if you can donate to help his recovery."
