A mum has set up a new foodbank so dog owners can feed their pets while coping with the rising cost of living crisis.
Mel Oldfield, an intensive care nurse from Hawarden, North Wales, decided to begin the venture after hearing so many harrowing stories of rescue centres becoming overflowed. It comes after reports of pet abandonment were on the increase due to many owners being unable to afford to feed their pets.
The 48-year-old will provide free dog meat and dry food for all hungry canines later this month. Posting on Facebook, Mel spoke about how she is already getting requests before the venture has officially started, North Wales Live reports
