Jerry Green Dog Rescue is proud to celebrate an incredible team of four fundraisers who successfully crossed the finish line at the 2026 London Marathon, raising almost £9,000 to support dogs in need. Held on 26th April, the iconic London Marathon is one of the world’s most renowned endurance events, challenging participants to complete a gruelling 26.2-mile course through the streets of the capital. From elite athletes to dedicated charity runners, thousands take on the phys

On 31st March 2025, Dr. Sun (the Dog Meat Trade Charity vet based in China) contacted them about a frail Dachshund girl in a rescue yard. They reached out to her as they didn’t have the resources to help her. She had been found on the streets a few weeks earlier. She had been used in the horrific Dog Meat Trade as a breeding bitch. Repeated litters, being kept in appalling conditions and poor diet, had likely stripped her body of all its strength. When her spine broke, she wa

One year on from a major multi-agency operation involving 70 Icelandic horses, equine welfare charity The Mare and Foal Sanctuary has shared an inspiring update on the progress of herd members under its care, including a gentle older mare and her foal, who have won the hearts of their handlers. Last year, concerns from members of the public about a large number of semi feral Icelandic horses across several sites in Devon led to a coordinated operation between The Mare and Foa

Dog owners may be unaware that the beaches they frequent may soon have restrictions that come into effect from May to September, to protect water quality and keep beaches safe and clean for visitors. Chris Maxted, director of front door dog safety gate Dog-G8 www.dog-g8.com, shares the regions with beaches still available for dogs and how to check local regulations to avoid fines of up to £1,000. Seasonal beach bans "Seasonal dog bans on UK beaches are a practical measure to

A leading UK cat charity is urging owners to take sun safety seriously after three cats in its care required partial ear amputations following sun-related skin cancer. The white cats were found to have cancerous cells caused by prolonged exposure to the sun. Without surgery, the cancer could have grown aggressively, causing severe damage and potentially fatal consequences. This has prompted Cats Protection to warn ahead of Sun Awareness Week (11–17 May) that brighter spring a

Rosie Devlin was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, also known as MS, at the age of 41. A Lennoxtown woman living with Multiple Sclerosis has told how her three rescue dogs are helping her to manage the condition. Rosie Devlin, 54, was diagnosed with the neurological condition at the age of 41 after experiencing a number of symptoms linked to the illness. MS affects both the brain and spinal cord, leading to nerve damage and resulting in symptoms such as extreme fatigue, prob

We have just had our first birthday which is nothing unusual after 12 months apart from one sad fact that we had been taken to the vet to be PTS as we were not showing signs of being able to walk at 8 weeks old. The vet thought we had Neospora caninum and so contacted the Labrador Rescue Trust to see if we could help. We took them on and agreed to support them for the rest of their lives. They were treated for Neospora and we hoped they would gain the ability to walk. It was

That Monday morning was one I will never forget. I said goodbye to my little dog Rosie. She was the fourth dog who I had lost, yet the pain felt just as raw. Choosing to euthanise your fur baby after many years together was heart wrenching. If you have had to make that difficult decision to euthanise your pet you might feel guilty, desperately upset, and keep replaying those final moments. You might question yourself. Was it the right time? Could you have tried another vet, a

Dog owners are being urged to check their pets carefully after walks as experts warn that tick season is now underway across the UK, with activity increasing as temperatures rise in early spring. Ticks are small parasites that feedon blood and are commonly found in long grass, woodland, parks and countryside paths. While they can be present year-round, they become far more active between March and October. Experts say this time of year often brings a spike in cases, as dogs b

In March last year the Trust were approached by a vet seeking help with a litter of 6 pure bred Labrador puppies who had been taken to the surgery to be euthanased. The puppies had been diagnosed with Neosporosis. Neosporosis is a serious parasitic disease in dogs caused by Neospora caninum, primarily affecting the nervous and muscular systems, particularly in puppies under 6 months. It causes symptoms like hindlimb paralysis, muscle rigidity, and swallowing difficulties, oft

For Many, Pets Come Out on Top Over Partners New survey reveals more people turn to pets than partners for walks, cuddles, and emotional support. New research from ePaws finds that for many in relationships, pets, not partners, are their preferred companions for everyday joy, comfort, and connection. A nationwide survey of UK adults in relationships who own at least one pet reveals just how deep that bond runs: 51% said they’d rather take their pet for a countryside walk than

As the UK heads into warmer weather, dog owners are warned to prepare for ‘spring fever’, a seasonal spike in impulsive behaviour that sees a dramatic rise in dogs escaping from homes and bolting on walks. With new smells, allergens and outdoor distractions all hitting at once alongside seasonal hazards, this means the consequences of that behaviour can be far more serious than many expect.
