Food bank for pets set up by animal charity
An animal sanctuary has set up a pet food bank to help people struggling with rising costs.
Teckels Animal Rescue in Whitminster, near Stroud, will give pet food, treats and advice to those in need on the third Thursday of each month at Starbucks in Stroud.
“The cost of food and insurance is going up, sometimes up by hundreds of pounds. If you are on a single income household then it is a lot for some people,” said Lucy Henderson from Teckels.
It comes as national animal charity Blue Cross says it has seen an increase in pets left in boxes, or tied up with notes on from owners who can not afford to keep them.
