Beth Stukins Named Finalist in National Animal Charity Awards

These prestigious national annual awards are an opportunity to recognise the dedication and commitment of individuals working in the animal charity sector, those who go the extra mile to help rescue and rehome animals in need. This year, over 9,000 nominations were submitted by supporters, charity staff and volunteers across the UK. The Petplan & ADCH Animal Charity Awards are the leading honours in the rescue and rehoming sector, jointly organised by Petplan, the UK’s number one pet insurer, and the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH); the sector’s principal representative body, supporting and championing rescue and rehoming organisations across the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. 

In just the past year alone, Beth has fostered 41 dogs and puppies, many of whom needed specialist medical attention, behavioural support, or simply a safe place to feel loved. She often opens her home to dogs in need, giving them round-the-clock care and comfort during some of their most vulnerable moments. Whether it’s welcoming dogs undergoing vet investigations or providing tailored support through behavioural assessments, Beth’s contribution to their journey is life-changing. 

But her commitment doesn’t stop there. Beth is also a powerful ambassador for Jerry Green Dog Rescue, regularly representing us at events, in the media, and across our community work. She supports teams across centres, coordinates transfers to help dogs find their best chance at rehoming, and brings a level of professionalism, warmth, and teamwork that lifts everyone around her. Beth’s nomination was submitted by our team here at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, but she also received several nominations from adopters and supporters, a true testament to the far-reaching impact of her work.
