Dogs Trust has over 20 Rehoming Centres in the UK, which helps to rehome pups whose owners no longer wishto take care of them. The sad reality of the reasons why people take back their pets has been broadcast on the streets and screens in the UK.

Some of the shocking reasons include:
Sadly, around Christmas time, consumers begin their search for Christmas presents by looking on internet sites which sell puppies. This surge often brings welfare concerns for puppies who may be bred irresponsibly and in dodgy circumstances.

Giles Webber, Operations Director for Dogs Trust, says:
With more and more puppies flooding the Christmas market, all available at the click of a button - it is more essential than ever that our iconic message “A Dog is For Life, Not Just For Christmas®” is ingrained in people’s minds. We hope that this visually striking campaign will encourage people to think twice about the commitment of dog ownership before impulsively buying a puppy. Our aim is to ensure that the artwork will be the only abandoned dogs the British public will see on their streets this Christmas period.
