You and Yours

Available for over a year

Call You and Yours: What's your experience of taking on a rescue dog? The BBC's Rory Cellan Jones has created a Twitter storm posting pictures of his new rescue dog "Sophie From Romania." Thousands of people are tracking timid Sophie's progress and we'll be speaking to Rory about it. But we want to hear your experience of adopting a rescue dog too. Thousands of dogs are being given up for adoption in UK rescues after people took on dogs in the pandemic and can now no longer look after them. The cost of living crisis is also having an impact with people struggling to afford their dogs. What's your experience of taking on a rescue dog? What challenges have you faced? Has it been plain sailing? Call 03700 100 444 after 11am. Or you can email [email protected]
