A dog rehoming centre has opened a food bank as many pet owners are faced with a sharp rise in costs due to the current cost of living crisis.
The Dogs Trust rehoming centre in Huyton has opened a dog food bank to help struggling owners during the cost of living crisis. The UK's largest dog welfare charity voiced grave concerns that 350,000 dogs in the UK could need new homes if the cost of living continues to rise.
A recent survey carried out by YouGov on behalf of the charity revealed more than one in ten dog owners have been forced into debt in order to care for their dog - a situation predicted to worsen as people tighten their belts as energy and food prices soar.
