One of the sanctuary's success stories this year is elderly dog Tucker, who was cared for by volunteers for 2,542 days before finding his forever home.
Staff and volunteers at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury have shared the good news, which includes finding a home for the charity's longest-stay resident – Tucker.
"Given the current climate there's fewer dogs we have rehomed than over four years ago, but it's an increase in the last two years so it's heading in the right direction." "The challenges have been the number of people asking for help, particularly people trying to relinquish their dogs", Louise added.
But the centre benefits from a dedicated team of volunteers, who on Christmas Day were busy making sure the dogs were walked and fed when everyone sat down for their dinner.The Shrewsbury branch has seen a steady stream of enquiries into volunteering and fostering, which they hope to maximise in the new year.
But like Dogs Trust Shrewsbury, the centre has also been inundated with enquiries about relinquishing dogs.
