Dog trapped in gap between two houses in Dartford

The RSPCA and fire services rescued a Jack Russell terrier who had become stuck between two houses in Kent. 

The Jack Russell terrier was stuck between two houses in Dartford.

The elderly dog had become wedged between a gap which separated two homes in Devonshire Avenue, Dartford, on Friday (31 May).

The RSPCA was contacted by the fire services after they’d received a call to help release the dog.

RSPCA’s Animal Collection Officer (ACO) Paul Taylor attended to assist with the rescue.

He said: “This poor girl was lucky to be rescued as she was well and truly wedged between the two buildings. Thankfully, Kent Fire and Rescue were able to assist and release the poor dog.

“They managed to make a hole in the garage wall where the dog was trapped and reach the Jack Russell. She was a little shocked but I checked her over and she had no visible injuries from her mishap.

“The RSPCA works very closely with the emergency services and we are always incredibly grateful for any help we receive from them.

“After she was freed, the dog’s owners took her to a nearby vets to be checked over and she’s now home and doing very well.”
