The director of a voluntary animal rescue group says it is already seeing dogs bought during Covid-19 lockdown being surrendered as people return to work.

Bobby Wain of Dundalk Dog Rescue is calling for more stringent regulations for dog owners so they realise the responsibility they are about to undertake before buying a pet.
