A leading dog charity is receiving one call every THREE minutes to have a dog rehomed, as the rising cost of living decimates families' finances.
Dogs Trust has warned that dogs have now become the voiceless victim the financial crisis problem, with Friday’s mini budget set to focus on household bills even more sharply as more families reluctantly hand over often much loved pets to charities and welfare groups.
Owen Sharp, Dogs Trust's CEO, said: “Last month we received on average 17 handover calls an hour from desperate owners feeling they’ve run out of options. Our teams have been answering a shocking and unprecedented number of calls from dog owners asking us to take in their dogs because they feel they won’t be able to see them through this crisis.”
