Michelle Moran, 63, of Bebington, Wirral, has been banned from keeping animals for life after throwing her Jack Russell terrier Gypsy into a boating lake at Gautby Road in Birkenhead to drown.
Moran claimed she believed Gypsy had cancer and tumours and could not afford veterinary euthanasia, but none of her alleged conditions were confirmed by any veterinary diagnosis.
Gypsy's body was recovered from the lake by a member of the public on September 29 last year.
When examined, the dog weighed just 3.7 kilograms and scored two out of nine on a body condition score, indicating severe malnourishment. Her mouth and nose were bloodied.
Veterinary evidence confirmed the surrounding concrete wall would have made it almost impossible for a small or weakened dog to escape the water.
Moran pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act and received a 17-week suspended sentence, a lifetime animal ban, a curfew, and rehabilitation requirements. The RSPCA described Gypsy's death as horrendous and called Moran's actions extremely callous.

This lovely lad is still looking for a home, can you please share to help him on his way?
Junior is a 6 month old Malinois cross Mastiff. He is available and looking for a new home through no fault of his own.
Junior would be best in a home with no other pets due to his size and dominance over other dogs.
He is young enough to be trained however we will be very specific in his new home as we'd like someone who is use to the breed and can demonstrate that they can train him and offer him the guidance he needs.
Junior hasn't been around kids much. He would be best with older children of a teenage age due to his size.
He is chipped and eats meat pouches and biscuits.
Junior is use to being left on his own for any length of time and is great meeting new people.
He hasn't met any cats.
Junior is okay on the lead but will need training with this. He is also registered at the vets and loves playing with toys.
He is walked around 3 times a day and likes to go to the park.
For any information please email [email protected]
Sorry we are unable to reply to private messages to the page.
If you can't offer Junior a new home at this time please share his appeal to help him on his way.
Sillero is a quiet boy around 4yrs old.
He walks gently on a lead, is good with other dogs, isnโt reactive or a barker in the centreโฆ heโs just adorable โค๏ธ
Sillero had to have his spleen removed but can live a good normal life.
Heโs a nice easy addition to any existing group of dogs and may also be fine as an only dog.
Heโs just a real sweetie ๐ฅฐ
Plz share ๐๐ปโค๏ธ

This is Buster. ๐พโค๏ธ
Buster has spent 4 years watching the world from behind shelter walls. He's not the dog rushing up to greet you. He's the one hiding in the corner, unsure if people can really be kind. The world has scared him for so long that he's forgotten what safety feels like.๐
But, underneath that fear is a gentle soul wno deserves patience, love, and a chance to finally exhale.
Shelter life is no place for a dog to spend year after year waiting to be chosen.
Donโt overlook Buster because heโs scared. He just needs some love and patience. What a beautiful dog he is. ๐ฏ
Do you know someone who would be interested in adopting Buster?
