Rescue dogs in and around Epsom are in dire need of old tennis balls.

Epsom Canine rescue said its foster carers have run clean out of the chewable toys, a favourite pastime of the dogs while waiting for their forever homes.

As the tennis season approaches, local clubs are asked if they could kindly donate their old balls.

Alternatively, if the public would like to buy balls or any other items, they have an Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/2V17MOPI1H32
