The charity, based in Melling, Liverpool, has space for 40 hounds but said it is seeing the “impact of people buying dogs without realising the commitment involved and just wanting rid”.

Volunteer Kellie O’Shea blamed a “perfect storm” of lockdown purchases, cost-of-living increases, and “over-breeding” for them simply being “overwhelmed”.

She added: “We’re completely full.

“It’s heartbreaking but we cannot find homes quickly enough.”

She advised owners struggling to cope with their pet to contact animal charities for support.

She added: “Sometimes, just some basic training is all that’s needed to enjoy a lifetime’s companionship with your pet.”
