Estranged husband Warren Rose did not attend South East Suffolk Magistrates Court.
He was convicted of animal cruelty in his absence and awaits sentencing on arrest.
RSPCA Inspector Marc Niepold expressed shock at the conditions the dog, Sasha, was kept in, describing them as horrific.
The dog was confined to a disgusting excrement-strewn bathroom, severely emaciated, with a chronic ear infection, hair loss, and was traumatized.
Rose's partner, Ruth Rose, was given a conditional discharge after admitting she allowed the dog to live in such conditions.
The story highlights the cruelty inflicted on Sasha, a German shepherd, who has since been rehabilitated and found new owners in Portugal.
