A man allegedly hid a puppy with a broken pelvis from the RSPCA after it was hit by a car and left untreated.

An RSPCA inspector went to a property at Saint James in Perth after a report about a four-month-old Staffordshire terrier-cross puppy who had allegedly been left untreated for more than a week after being trapped under the wheel of a car.

It’s alleged the man told the inspector the puppy had been taken to the vet and was ”pretty much healed”.

The inspector saw the puppy couldn’t walk and had a swollen left hind leg.

“She also had red open wounds on the front of her head and her thigh area,” RSPCA said in a statement.

“The male occupant who was said to have taken the puppy to the vet told the inspector the veterinarian had administered pain and anti-inflammatory injections and advised she was not concerned about broken bones.

“Investigations revealed the emergency vet had only been able to provide basic first aid to the puppy due to the owner’s financial constraints but had given the man strict instructions to take the puppy to their regular vet the following day.”

After repeated warnings, the inspector returned to the property with WA Police.

The puppy was allegedly at a different location but was found by officers and taken to the RSPCA for treatment.

The 46-year-old has been charged with offences under the Animal Welfare Act.

He is due to face a Perth Magistrates Court next month.
