How You Helped Hundreds of Rescue Dogs Thrive in 2025

As we move into 2026 at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, we wanted to celebrate an extraordinary year of transformation, compassion and second chances for dogs in need.

Every dog helped, every puppy nurtured, and every moment of care in 2025 was made possible thanks to our incredible community of adopters, donors, volunteers, and supporters who continue to open their hearts to rescue dogs.

Our 2025 Impact

Your unwavering support created life-changing moments for hundreds of dogs throughout 2025:

528 dogs rehomed – each one beginning a new life in a safe, loving forever home.

102 puppies cared for – receiving the vital early support they needed to grow into confident, healthy dogs.

40 dogs supported through emergency boarding – providing urgent safety and stability when dogs and families needed it most.

25,950 volunteer hours given – from daily care and enrichment, to fundraising, retail and events, our volunteers made rescue possible.

43 people pledged to support Jerry Green Dog Rescue in their Will – ensuring future dogs in need can receive the care they deserve.

Every number represents a real dog whose life was transformed, and it’s all thanks to you – our incredible community of dog-lovers.

Cruise's Journey

At just 2-years-old, Cruise, a handsome Lurcher, arrived at Jerry Green Dog Rescue after spending over a year in kennels. Having never experienced the comforts of a safe, loving home, there was so much to learn about him – so many pieces of his ‘life jigsaw’ to put back together.

Thanks to your generous support, the team were able to work patiently with Cruise, helping him build in confidence and prepare for a world beyond kennels. After 4 months, he moved into a loving foster home, where even more of his personality was revealed, and shortly afterwards, the perfect adopters came along.

Now, Cruise is thriving in his forever home, where he enjoys mastering the lurcher skill of being a true ‘sofa dog’! Stories like Cruise’s are only possible because of the generosity of people like you, who make second chances like his a reality.

Frederick’s Fresh Start

Found abandoned without food or water, life for Frederick began with confusion, fear, and uncertainty. After arriving at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, his friendly, gentle nature began to shine through – but finding the right home was vital to supporting his long-term wellbeing.

Because of your kind support, our team were able to spend the time needed getting to know Frederick and finding his perfect family through our Meet&Match® adoption process. That’s how he found Kev, an experienced dog owner whose lifestyle suited him perfectly. From their first introduction, Frederick grew in confidence and settled in as though he already knew he’d found his person.

Today, Frederick is thriving in his forever home on Kev’s narrow boat, enjoying life on the water and the stability that only the right match could provide.
