A 'lifeline' animal rescue charity drowning in expensive bills could be forced to put dogs to sleep and close its door if they don't raise enough money.

The All Bullie Charity Rescue currently has 35 dogs in its care after launching in 2016 to help bull breeds with behavioural issues across the UK.Volunteer and manager of the charity, Kerryanne Shaw, from Drumchapel, said the majority of the dogs cared for are currently in an emergency boarding kennel in Rotherham, England.But the charity is struggling to find foster homes and pay for emergency boarding kennels due to the cost of living crisis, a drop in donations and issues with rehoming applications.The dogs rescued by All Bullie are often saved from being euthanised because their owners can't take care of them or they have behavioural problems, Glasgow Live reports.It is currently costing the charity an extra few hundred pounds a week to keep five dogs they rescued over Christmas due to issues with rehoming applications.

Last month's bill for the main kennel in Rotherham is still be paid, with an additional £4,000 due this month.Kerryanne, 37, said: "Everything else has been paid apart from our main kennel bill which is where the majority of dogs are being held."We do need to raise that money to make sure that we can safeguard the dogs and pay staff wages and things, it’s a real worry for us."If we can’t get this sorted then we will maybe have to shut.

If we can’t raise the funds then the rescue will need to stop taking in dogs until we could move dogs out of kennels and rehome them."If we couldn’t get homes for the more difficult ones we would need to find sanctuary spaces but there’s currently no spaces and there’s a long waiting list."If we can’t get other spaces
