Jerry Green Dog |Rescue

'We understand just how much comfort and companionship dogs can provide to people and our new community support scheme aims to provide essential dog walking services to individuals facing challenges in meeting the exercise needs of their furry companions. This free community support service is designed to prevent the need for dog surrender, particularly among those who may be dealing with health concerns, undergoing ill health treatment, coping with mental health issues, the elderly and more. This service is not means tested and by removing this boundary, we hope to be able to offer aid to individuals and families who may not ordinarily benefit from relief resources, but who would be unable to afford a private dog walker.

This scheme is currently running in the Hull and East Yorkshire area, with the aim of introducing it within the areas of our other centres as the scheme develops and becomes more established. This support will be provided through our dedicated, trained volunteers and we currently have limited spaces available in the HU3, HU4, HU5, HU15, HU16, HU17, DN14 & YO43 postcodes areas. We will add to this list of postcodes as and when more volunteers join onto the scheme.

As well as the dog walking scheme, we provide other community support services. Being a charity of limited resources ourselves, we sadly can't solve all problems but we will certainly help if we can.'
