Northern Ireland is at crisis point with unwanted and abandoned dogs and puppies as greed, ignorance and desperation combine to create a disaster in animal welfare.

- Younger dogs, many bought during lockdown, now out of their honeymoon period and creating inconvenience,
- The cost of living crisis and other pressures leaving desperate families unable to cope.
