PENDLE Dogs in Need’s new doggy foodbank is looking for donations.

Any unwanted tins of dog food can be dropped off at their shop in Leeds Road, Nelson, or at the collection point in Morrison’s, Nelson or The Pet Shop in Barrowford.

They are expecting a rise in demand and are hoping to roll out collection points across the borough.

Paula Knowles, who runs the kennels says that changes in benefits are at the cause of the problem.

She said: “I would say that all of the referrals we get are because of benefit delays or sanctions.”
