An animal rescue has issued a heart-breaking plea as staff become inundated with calls about unwanted or neglected pets.
Freshfields Animal Rescue has been helping unwanted and neglected animals, from dogs and cats to farm animals and wild birds, for over 40 years, but staff say they are "pretty much at full capacity" as they say everyone has a part to play. Many animals are desperately looking for their forever homes, but families "like to buy young" before realising they "cannot cope".
The ECHO spoke to Georgia Podmore who told us how they receive many calls every day about requests to rehome. Just a few months ago, dog, Yoshi was one year old when he was taken to the vets to be put to sleep after his family could no longer look after him.
