Animal-loving volunteers at a Liverpool rescue are struggling to keep up with ever-growing demands as more and more people are forced to give up their precious pets due to the soaring cost of living.
Freshfields Animal Rescue on East Lane, Homer Green is currently home to 26 dogs and 38 cats, along with dozens of small animals including rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and birds.
But rescuers predict their numbers could increase rapidly in the next 12 months due to the cost of living crisis - as volunteers scramble to pick up up to three abandoned dogs each day.
