More people trying to give up their lockdown dogs, says charity
More people are considering giving up their dogs for adoption since coronavirus restrictions were lifted, according to a dog welfare charity.
The Dogs Trust said it had seen a 35% increase in calls related to giving up dogs in the last few weeks.
It said that people were reconsidering owning a pet as their circumstances changed post-lockdown.
The sales of pets in the UK has soared since the start of the pandemic, when more people spent time at home.
The price of puppies more than doubled during lockdown, with dogs costing almost £1,900 on average.
