KENNELS and animal sanctuaries are currently bursting at the seams with pets which have been dumped by their owners or handed over because they can’t afford them.

Each week the Dorset Echo will be highlighting dogs, cats, rabbits and any other animal which is currently looking for a new home.

If you can give them the loving home they need, please contact the relevant sanctuary on the number printed next to each pet.
