Nedd Brockman urges Aussies to adopt rescue dogs

Ned Brockman, newly crowned Young Australian of the Year, partners with Pet Barn Foundation to encourage Australians to adopt rescue dogs. New data reveals public perception is the biggest barrier to shelter animals finding homes, with nearly 90% of animal rescue centres at capacity due to the cost-of-living crisis. Brockman credits his rescue dog Dougie, adopted four years ago, with teaching him valuable life lessons and wants to change misconceptions that rescue dogs are too difficult or damaged.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
