More dogs and cats are ending up in kennels because people cannot manage the cost of looking after their furry friends.
00:07
There's a lot more dogs being given up because obviously the food bills keep going up.
00:13
If people need the help, how should they get in touch with you?
00:17
Just turn up.
00:18
There is no referrals needed, no conditions, because you don't know when you're going to have a hard week.
00:24
Sometimes an unexpected bill means you're suddenly short.
00:26
We love what we do, but we just think, "Oh my God, how are we going to do it?"
00:33
Unfortunately, the need is growing and there's more and more people struggling to feed their pets to keep them.
00:40
That is happening every day. We get people saying that they're choosing to buy pet food over human food.
00:48
So they're either going with very little or going without just to feed their pet,
00:53
because they desperately don't want to give them up for adoption.
