Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary is attempting to keep on top of sky-rocketing bills while preparing for people giving up their pets as the cost of living crisis bites
Staff at an animal sanctuary that has been running for 65 years say electricity bills have doubled to almost £100,000 a year while the amount of animals coming into their care needing medical treatment has increased.
“He has had his first operation and we won’t let him down.” The sanctuary is home to 350 animals - around 80 dogs, 120 cats and a rising number of rabbits and small animals waiting to be rehomed - while horses, donkeys, pigs, goats and hens live out their lives there. “We are getting more lockdown animals and people are giving up breeds they have paid for. We had two Dachshunds brought in recently and a bulldog, which is unusual.”
