APDAWG Presents: The State of UK Rescue

---

Happy New Year to everyone & their dogs! 

After last year's hugely popular 'State of UK Rescue' event, which proudly filled the biggest Committee Room in the UK Houses of Parliament, we are once again looking at the many issues & factors influencing today's UK rescue sector. 

From the remaining hangover of abandoned pandemic pups to seemingly never-ending cost-of-living crisis, but now with the added XL Bully situation plus the increasingly compromised mental health of rescue shelter staff & volunteers, there's clearly a lot to talk about. 

Worryingly, dog rescue in the UK is in a predicament never seen before, so APDAWG is truly honoured to be joined by some of the most respected voices from across the sector, generously sharing their experiences past & present, plus discussing possible future solutions to these important issues in the Q&A.

• Scottish SPCA - CEO Kirsteen Campbell

• The Big Bully Rescue UK - Emma Priest
