Jerry Green Dog Rescue CEO Speaks in Parliament on the ‘State of UK Rescue’

Christina’s speech showcased the vital work of Jerry Green Dog Rescue, the increasing pressures facing the rescue sector, and the innovative steps we are taking to adapt. With an estimated 2.7 million animals entering UK shelters each year, over half of them dogs (RSPCA), the need for change has never been greater.

As an organisation, we are committed to evolving with this landscape, balancing both proactive and reactive approaches to rehoming. Our blended rehoming model, including our Home from Home scheme, is at the heart of our strategy for the next five years. By keeping dogs in their current homes while we find their new families (where appropriate and in a dog’s best interests), we can reduce stress, improve welfare, and support even more dogs in need.

We are incredibly proud to have had Christina in attendance to represent Jerry Green Dog Rescue and she shares, “This event was an important opportunity to shine a light on the growing challenges facing rescue organisations across the UK. With more dogs in need than ever before, we must continue to evolve, collaborate, and find innovative solutions to ensure every dog has a safe, loving home. At Jerry Green Dog Rescue, we are committed to leading the way with our blended rehoming model. I was honoured to represent our incredible team and the dogs we care for, ensuring their voices are heard at the highest level.”
