There was a report earlier on R4 with a guy from Blue Cross saying they hadn't had the number of dogs handed to them that they were expecting, largely due to people continuing to work from home - RSPCA and Battersea seemed to agree. But they also reported that people were selling dogs on when they couldn't keep them, rather than giving them to a shelter, presumably to try to recover some of the top dollar they'd paid in this inflated market. Not good.
I was at the vet this morning and he was saying that they are starting to see an increase in the number of designer brachycephalic dogs coming in and are expecting a lot more. Sad times...
