“We will continue to respond to all emails received, however please note that due to the extremely high volume of enquiries, this may take some time.
“Applicants’ details may be retained for future consideration. Thank you for your support.”
This comes after this newspaper shared an appeal on Friday (August 30) starring the infinitely cute Labrador pups Quaver and Quest – who are probably responsible for the surge in applications.
