Laois SPCA posts sad picture of 'unwanted gift'

A Laois animal charity is advising people that it is not rehoming any more dogs this year. 

Laois Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(LSPCA) posted a picture of a little puppy that was “an unwanted gift” surrendered to them last week. 

Laois SPCA said it has received a number of calls from people looking for dogs to give as a Christmas present. 

“Under no circumstances do we ever rehome a dog as a present,” the charity stated.

“Below is a photo of a puppy surrendered into our care last week ‘an unwanted gift’ , I think this says it all,” they added. 

LSPCA say they are finished rehoming dogs until the New Year and those who had already submitted an application will be contacted.
