Lincolnshire Dog Rescue Highlights Growing Crisis of Abandoned Pets

July 16, 2025 6:00 pm

A Lincolnshire-based animal rescue centre is raising the alarm over what they term as an ‘epidemic of unwanted dogs’. This comes in the wake of a distressing finding of abandoned puppies in a box, which underscores a growing issue throughout the area. The owner of the rescue centre disclosed the facility has been inundated with dogs being given up or discarded, as the demand for pets during the COVID-19 lockdowns has significantly fallen. Lincolnshire residents are being encouraged to think about adoption from local shelters to help ease this predicament. This story was adapted by The Lincoln Post from original reporting through news.google.com.
