According to the Pedigree Adoption Drive, 107000 dogs are abandoned each year, here at Bulldog Rescue we see approximately 150 a year, in reality that's only 0.14% of the total number but it's still an awful lot. As the Summer holidays approach we can start to think about things slowing down a little for us, we seem to see a pattern come the beginning of the Summer holidays - an inital rush of people who give up their dogs because they are going on holiday and now can't get them into boarding kennels, then it slows down. We guess because the kids are home and the weather is nice so looking after a dog becomes easier. However, come September things will rise quickly again - the kids are back at school and it's not so easy to keep the dog outside. It'll be October before many of these dogs start to arrive with skin conditions and neglect issues so we really do make the most of our Summer!!! and as I love my garden it works well - for me anyway.
