A Dogs Trust Leeds worker has admitted they are "inundated with calls" amid the cost of living crisis, as people are devastatingly having to choose between feeding themselves and their pets.
Canine carer, Kevin Johnson, who works at Dogs Trust Leeds told Leeds Live that the rehoming centre currently has the highest longest waiting list they've ever had.
Kevin said the team are "drowning in dogs" as more and more owners are struggling to feed and care for their pets. He said what's changed with the cost of living crisis is that the people who are handing over their dogs now, genuinley don't want to, they're doing so because they have no other choice.
