Surrendered pets need loving homes THE rising cost of living is causing people to surrender their pets. PetRescue founder Vickie Davy says that she has seen “great dogs coming into rescue care”, and has encouraged prospective pet owners to consider adopting them. “The fact is that only a small percentage of pets are surrendered due to their behaviour which - like any animal - can be negated through ded-
icated training,” she said. National Pet Adoption month takes place throughout March. Petspiration Foundation charity and events lead Sherralea Cassidy says her charity is “on a mission to have cats, large dogs, adolescent dogs and bonded pairs that can’t be separated, adopted as they remain the most vulnerable in 2023.” “All pets deserve a safe and lov-
ing home, and National Pet Adoption Month is the perfect opportunity to meet pets searching for a new family,” she said. On Saturday 19 March and Sunday 20 March, pets in need of adoption will visit PETstock shops in Braeside, Chelsea, and Carrum Downs from 10am to 2pm.
