Casting producer, Hannah Walker said: ‘With the current cost of living crisis having a huge impact on rehoming centres, it’s more important than ever to highlight the plight of the rescue dog. The RSPCA is expecting a potential animal rescue crisis as more animals come into care and stay in rescue centres for longer, with fewer people coming forward to adopt. 1.8 million dogs have been given up so far this year, but recent figures show rehoming has dropped 8% since last year.

‘We have started looking for people in Lancashire who are interested in rehoming a dog for the next series, hopefully, this is a great opportunity for some of your readers.’
