Animal sanctuaries have seen an increase in the number of owners struggling to care for their beloved pets amid the rising cost of living.
The RSPCA have responded to the crisis by creating a pet cost calculator to make it easier to budget for an animal before adoption. The animal welfare charity has also penned a guide explaining how pet insurance can help to save on costs in the long-term and have shared details for where to find a pet food bank.
Responsible animal lovers who’ve researched affordable food, care and how they will make their home suitable for their desired pet will be best suited to rehome the adorable animals listed on the website for RSPCA Radcliffe Animal Centre.
Here, we reveal seven cute cats and dogs that are waiting for adoption.
The adoption fee for dogs is £165, while cats are £100. The full process and application form is available to view on the RSPCA website.
1. Teddy (RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre )
This 10-month-old Labrador Retriever has had a few homes and due to inconsistent training would be best suited to an experienced dog owner. He needs a dedicated pet lover who will give him attention as he can become anxious when left alone. | RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre
2. Mabel (RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre)
Mabel is a six-month-old Bulldog that has a boisterous and sociable personality. She is able to get along well with other dogs and would benefit from being in a family home where she can continue to be trained and have opportunities to play. | RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre
3. Tyson (RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre)
This one-year-old Cross Labrador requires an experienced owner who understands that he may need long-term management for anxiety and timid behaviour. From house training to socialising, Tyson requires dedicated coaching. | RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre
4. Gunner (RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre)
Similarly to Tyson, Gunner is anxious and timid to the outside world as he may never have been outside his home. The one-year-old Cross Labrador needs to be rehomed with a well socialised dog and an owner who is willing to change their lifestyle to accommodate his training in all areas. | RSPCA/ Radcliffe Animal Centre
