Many animals like Soldier are going without immediate treatment in the cost of living crisis
An animal rescue centre has actually said it has been left “getting the pieces” as animals go without immediate treatment due to the cost-of-living crisis.
A lurcher was discovered “in a awful state” with injuries that were left without treatment, Bristol Animal Rescue Centre said.
The dog, called Soldier, was discovered by a member of the general public wandering off in a close-by wildlife location in January.
Despite being precariously underweight and with open sores, he is now prepared for adoption.
But Bristol Animal Rescue Centre said among the other issues they are dealing with is that there are now less individuals ready to adopt, especially dogs like Soldier with intricate requirements.

The centre is seeing more animals with without treatment medical conditions, which suggests they are remaining longer – with the typical stay for a dog up from 85 days to 93 days.
Soldier is simply among numerous animals they have actually seen with substantial medical concerns, a spokesperson for the centre said.
“It was apparent that his injuries and injuries had actually been left without treatment for a long time and this poor boy was acting like he remained in shock,” his carer Kayleigh Jefferies said.
