‼️ We all know that this winter is going to be expensive and difficult for many, with the cost of living skyrocketing in most places.
🦺 Between January and July this year, the RSPCA recorded over 22,000 reports about abandoned animals with an increase of 49% of rabbits and 3% more dogs than the previous year.
🤍 Here at The Woof Warren, we completely support the responsible rehoming of animals when you can no longer look after them.
🌼 And whilst I cannot tell you exactly why these animals have been abandoned this year, I CAN give you a few suggestions on what you can do if you are struggling to afford/keep your pets.
🏥 The PDSA is an animal charity which helps pet parents who cannot afford vet care by offering low cost and free vet care and medication for your special furry friends.
👮🏽 The RSPCA is an animal rescue charity which can assist you in rehoming your pets if need be. Though, like many rescues, they may not be able to take your pet in as many centres are overflowing with animals, I am sure they will be able to suggest another place to surrender your pet to.
🧑🏾💻 The RSPCA is not the only animal rescue out there, and there are over a thousand animal rescues in the UK. Some of which are animal specific or even breed specific. These smaller rescues often get lost in the shadows of social media, so my recommendation would be to look through facebook, instagram and google to find one that can help you.
🏋🏼 For our larger or perhaps more difficult pets, you may be more likely to find a suitable home for them with a dog trainer as they will likely understand the animal more and have a network of like minded people who would be happy to take a big or troublesome dog in.
☎️ Please do not abandon your pet unannounced, ANYWHERE, but especially not in parks, forests or at the side of the road where they are most likely to be killed.
