Northern Ireland's unwanted dog crisis is forcing rescue groups to beg for help as they cope with abandoned pets.
Causeway Coast Dog Rescue are currently urging for new potential foster carers to come forward to help them cope.
A spokesperson for the charity, said: "Every day we are receiving requests to take in unwanted dogs who are left with us to feed and care for while we look for a new home for them.

"The crisis is not improving, in fact it is only getting worse and so we have to ask again for help from strangers, people with compassion and a love for animals who will help us help them in their hour of need.
"Today we are asking once again for new foster carers to contact us to help give unwanted dogs the care and attention they need, while we seek to secure a forever home for them.
"A foster carer or family, will be able to treat and care for the dog as a family member while knowing a new home will be found.
"The charity will provide all dog veterinary care and food needs while the dog is being looked after in your home. Dogs can range in size from German Shepherd to Chihuahua so there is usually one to suit everybody.
"Please give us a call to discuss the options and how our dog foster care agreement works."
If you could offer temporary foster space for a dog in your home for Causeway Coast Dog Rescue you can call them on 07595602702.
