Woodgreen Pets Charity has actually been “receiving hundreds of enquiries each month” from family pet owners who can no longer look after their dogs
A Cambridgeshire family pets charity has actually provided an immediate appeal, after the waiting list for dogs to be taken into care reaches almost 200.
Woodgreen Pets Charity presently takes care of 71 dogs at its rehoming centre, in Godmanchester.
After getting demands from 230 family pet owners to take their dogs into care in December, the charity now has a prolonged waiting list of 192 dogs.
The charity is now requiring pet-lovers to adopt the dogs in its care – providing them a 2nd possibility at life.
Ciara Pollen, dog area supervisor at Woodgreen Pets Charity, said: “For the last few months, we’ve been receiving hundreds of enquiries each month from people who can sadly no longer care for their dogs.
“Giving up a pet can be a heart-breaking decision that’s made for a number of reasons – the most common being a change in the owner’s lifestyle, ill health of the owner, not being able to cope with the pet’s behaviour or no longer being able to afford them.”
In December, the charity likewise took in 19 roaming dogs, of which 6 were effectively reunited with their owners.
Although the charity has actually said that sometimes it is the “best option” for dogs to come into its care, it is providing help to owners in the form of totally free behavioural suggestions and financial backing towards veterinary costs.
“At Woodgreen we provide dogs with any treatment or behavioural rehabilitation they need, as well as plenty of love and attention, before they are matched with a new home,” Ciara included.
“If you’re thinking about inviting a dog into your family, please think about providing a dog a 2nd possibility.”
Here are 9 dogs presently in Woodgreen’s care who you might adopt:
