Charities warn of influx of unwanted dogs

Avril Kelly of Cork DAWG: "When the fosterers go back to work we could be in a bit of trouble, but we will get the dogs homed then hopefully,” she said.

A major dog rehoming charity is expecting a huge influx of unwanted dogs when people no longer have to stay at home because of Covid-19.

Corina Fitzsimons of Dogs Trust said it was a lot like Christmas now because people had lots of time on their hands.
