. So you see we also have a big problem with homeless dogs in this country too, the cost of importing a dog from abroad is high and the money used would probably help more than one dog here.
The charity said in 2007 it typically received six dogs a day and put the increase in strays down to owners possibly having less money this year.
It homes dogs from Birmingham, Coventry and Solihull, as well as the Redditch and Bromsgrove areas in Worcestershire.
At the current rate the charity said it would soon reach capacity, and was already turning away owners who asked it to take over their dog's care.
Donations needed
A spokeswoman for the charity said: "We have never had to put any of the dogs down, unless they had health issues or were extremely aggressive, but I don't know what we are going to do if it carries on at this rate.
"We rely on charity and donations of food and blankets and we'd ask that families who want a dog consider if they have the time and the funds to re-home some of ours."
The charity, based in New Bartholemew Road, Digbeth, said it was currently caring for 118 dogs.

Expecting soon another foster dog as I don't think we will have enough foster carers once the holiday period is over. The reward at the end is just great knowing that you have helped some poor little dog adjust to be able to be rehomed permanently.
