There has been a "sharp rise" in the number of dogs being abandoned as the cost-of-living crisis deepens, a rescue centre has said.

Hope Rescue Centre in Rhondda Cynon Taf said it had taken 300 calls in the past three months about pets.
The centre said it was caused by a "perfect storm" of an increase in dog ownership during lockdown alongside the cost-of-living crisis.
In the year after the first lockdown, UK households bought 3.2 million pets.
Rolo, a one-year-old terrier is one of the many dogs at the rescue centre.
He was brought by a dog warden as a stray, with very little known about his background.
The centre said although he was very friendly, he could get overwhelmed in some situations, so needs a gentle approach.
The centre's owner and founder, Vanessa Wadden, said Rolo was one of many and the situation was the worst she has seen 17 years.
"In the last three months alone we've had over 300 calls from people asking for our help," she said.
"It is very dramatic, it is a perfect storm.
"We are having to turn dogs away and that is the hardest bit, it is heartbreaking."
Centres across Wales are struggling to cope with demand and although many are full, staff stressed there was still help at hand.
