Do you love dogs?
Give a dog a new home
Loving animals is not always the same as being able to care for them.
Demand for puppies soared during lockdown, with Google searches for
"buy a puppy" increasing by 166% according to the Dog's Trust.
In the three months April to June 2020, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home
received 40,392 applications to rehome dogs, an increase of 53% compared
to the previous three months. 31% of those who acquired a dog or cat in
this period had not been considering becoming pet owners before
lockdown.
Unfortunately, with living costs rising and more people having to return
to the office, not all of these new pet parents are able to keep their
animals, leading to approximately 40 pets per day being abandoned in
England and Wales. Shelters are also struggling, as they have not been
able to hold as many fundraising events as usual over the past two
years. New homes for these pets are urgently needed.
