Pet shelters across NSW are at crisis point with no room to take in more animals as dogs and cats continue to be dumped following a pandemic adoption boom. The number of dogs being abandoned post-lockdown has surged to gut-wrenching levels, animal charities said, as owners found they no longer had the time or money to look after the animals long term. RSPCA shelters are at 95 per cent capacity for dogs and 125 per cent capacity for cats.

An enraged husband took his battle for shared custody of the beloved family dog after a divorce all the way to the Federal Court.
The Brisbane couple, whose identity is suppressed, were together for close to four years, and married for 18 months, and had no children.
But the man s now ex-wife adopted a dog from an animal shelter before they tied the knot.
He unsuccessfully argued that he should be entitled to shared custody of the pooch after chipping in to pay for vet appointments, as well as food and toys.
Dogs are legally considered property items, so they should not be contested in court in shared custody matters (stock image)
