A Dorset Dog Charity urges local families to come forward and adopt a dog.
Waggy Tails Rescue, a charity rehoming at-risk dogs, has run out of space and is urgently seeking help.
The Charity based on Magna Road, Wimborne, only has space for around 25 dogs on site. Foster families are helping by taking in the overflow.
There are several foster families that assist the charity but none of these are permanent homes.
According to a volunteer of 13 years, Linda Booden, “We’ve got around 20 to nearly 30 dogs, with fosterers we’ve got more than that.”
“We really need a bigger premises, and we are trying hard to get that.”
Listen to Waggy Dogs Volunteer Linda Booden give details on the Capacity of the Charity.
Linda continued: “On the whole, we probably have about 100 volunteers, and that includes those who foster and adopt.”
“Usually we assess the dogs before they come in, and from that we decide whether we can take them in.”
“ We are hoping that they all get homes.”

As well as the Wimborne based rescue (Helen’s House) there is also Little Lions Farm in Ashley Heath, but there are problems getting planning permission for this location.
There are a number of dogs which need a new home according to the Charity, amongst these are breeds such as Springer Spaniel, Labrador, German shepherd, and more.
Booden explains how they first must assess dogs to take them in.
On Saturday the Fourth of October, the charity held a dog presentation at Kinson Community Centre, Pelhams Park, Millhams Road.
