She works at the Bridgend centre which is the only Dogs Trust centre in Wales which re-homes around 700 dogs per year. They get about 50 &ndash; 80 calls a day from people who can no longer look after their dog. This can be for a variety of reasons including the previous owner being taken ill or even dying, but due to the recession there are an increasing number of people who can no longer afford to keep a dog. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><o:p><img style="width: 659px; height: 495px;" alt="Rhia" src="aeimages/rhiadogs.JPG">&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Rhia accepting a donation to Dogs Trust from the Crown Inn</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">Rhia&rsquo;s mission on the night was to educate us on her organisation and did not ask for any donation.
