Dogs Trust have made an urgent appeal for new dog owners after they took in 54 puppies in three weeks.
The charity also took in eight 10-day-old puppies which require round the clock care. The number of dogs they have taken in so far this year has increased by 33% compared to the same time last year.
Since January, Dogs Trust has been inundated with 2,180 requests from members of the public hoping to relinquish their dogs, compared to 1,638 requests for the same period last year.
