APDAWG Presents: 'State of UK Rescue'

---

After APDAWG's last 3 hugely popular 'State of UK Rescue' Feb events, which  proudly filled the biggest Committee Room in the UK Houses of Parliament, we will once again looking at the many issues & factors influencing today's UK rescue sector & most importantly finding practical ways forward. 

From the ongoing hangover of abandoned pandemic pups to a seemingly never-ending cost-of-living crisis, plus the increasingly compromised mental health of rescue shelter staff & volunteers, the no. of greyhounds currently 'stuck' in the system awaiting spaces at rehoming centres; there's clearly still so much that needs support, improving & fixing.

Worryingly, dog rescue in the UK remains still in a state never seen before, but with a long awaited Government consultation into licensing rescue shelters now on the cards APDAWG is, once again, 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.  

Guest speakers include:

1. Battersea: Robert Galvin-Bays & Robert Young 
2. Pumpkin & Friends: Tammie Fox, CEO
3. Pawprints Rescue: Anita Twigger
4. Scott Miller, 'The Rescue Vet' & ITV This Morning 
5. British Chihuahua Rescue: Rebecca Maddison 
6. Greyhound Rescue Wales: Claire James, CEO
