These puppies are often taken from their mum too young and transported into the UK in tiny cages with no food or water for days. Concerned about a puppy you bought? [Take our quiz to see if you may have been dogfished.](6536481@IMCmKqjNNlGCTZQX9LRlKV7M-SB24CwzDnWEh3mNse0.@) Some buyers have reported that their puppy had developed significant health or behaviour problems, causing terrible suffering for their beloved pet whilst costing them on average almost £500 in additional vet bills. Some of those people even said their puppy had either died or had to be put to sleep, due to the severity of their condition. [Have a dogfishing story to tell?

This sweet old boy has been with us for far too long and is searching for his retirement home. He’s an exceptionally smart chap, and after playing with his favourite squeaky toy, loves nothing more than stretching out and giving his paws (all three of them) a good rest. Casper prefers the calm that comes with living in an adult-only home and loves all the attention on him so would prefer being the only pet. If you think Casper could hop, skip and jump his way into your heart and home, [check out his profile HERE](6536500@IMCmKqjNNlGCTZQX9LRlKV7M-SB24CwzDnWEh3mNse0.@) or contact our [Shrewsbury Rehoming Centre](6536541@IMCmKqjNNlGCTZQX9LRlKV7M-SB24CwzDnWEh3mNse0.@) on 01952 770225.

They were hungry, dehydrated and freezing cold without so much as a blanket to keep warm. Luckily for them, once found, they were immediately brought into the warmth of our [Merseyside Rehoming Centre](6536544@IMCmKqjNNlGCTZQX9LRlKV7M-SB24CwzDnWEh3mNse0.@). Our staff quickly fell in love with the adorable trio and, after treating a skin condition and giving them a full health check, have found them all forever homes. Georgina Lowery, manager at Dogs Trust Merseyside said, “We don’t know why these puppies were dumped, but we believe a dog is for life, not just for Christmas and they deserve to be loved and cared for properly, every day of their lives. If you or a friend ever feel like you have to give up your dog, please do speak to us for help and advice."
