Cost of living pressures cited as owners forced to give up pets
Cost-of-living pressures are still having an impact on pet owners – some of whom are being forced to give up their animals.
The ManxSPCA, which cares for and rehomes animals on the Isle of Man, says it’s still seeing an increase.
Around 26 dogs have been handed into the charity’s care since the start of the year.
PR and fundraising officer Krysia Boruch says it is a concern:
