Absolutely heartbreaking.
A Dogs Trust Leeds worker has admitted they are "inundated with calls" amid the cost of living crisis, as people are devastatingly having to choose between feeding themselves and their pets.
Kevin said the team are "drowning in dogs" as more and more owners are struggling to feed and care for their pets. He said what's changed with the cost of living crisis is that the people who are handing over their dogs now, genuinley don't want to, they're doing so because they have no other choice.
"It's people who have lost their home and had to downsize and are moving to a rental accommodation and they can't find somewhere that will take a pet.
However, Kevin went on to discuss that due to unprecedented demand while they are always commited to do what they can, they can't always help.
