Freshfield Animal Rescue is facing their most difficult year to date.
For more than 50 years the rescue centre in Formby has been protecting unwanted, abandoned, and abused animals. Now with mounting pressures of the cost of living crisis, the centre has said an increasing number of people are handing over their pets because they can no longer afford to look after them.
Debbie Hughes the Fundraising and Communications officer for the rescue said they are facing a "triple threat" of dwindling donations, costs going up, and the number of animals needing their help. However, despite the tough finical landscape, Debbie said the rescue is "not going anywhere."
