I do volunteer walking at the Brixworth Branch of Jerry Green Dog Rescue in Northamptonshire. This branch, and one other in Suffolk, are threatened with closure.

They are an excellent rescue, doing a really great job. The staff are very caring and they have a very good record for rehoming (not many bounce back which I think is a sign that they ensure that homes and dogs are well matched). They always have a few greyhounds and lurchers. There are very few rescues in our area and it would be such a pity if it closed. There is also concern for some dogs with issues that have been resident there for a long while.

There is a Facebook page - Save the Brixworth Dog Rescue Centre (Jerry Green) where there is an online petition. Please could people join the Facebook page and sign the petition - http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/save-brixworth-dog-rescue/

I hope the link works.

I would be so grateful if we could increase the numbers who sign the petition.

Many thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

Signed, that's them up to 451 now I think.

I'm not sure a petition is any good if it's closing for financial reasons, but hopefully more people knowing about it will increase donations? Good luck anyway, I really hope it does stay open.

I'm not sure really about the real reasons - it's very difficult to find out!! They say financial, but I believe the Brixworth Branch has a better rehoming record than some of the other branches. I've no doubt the Chief Executive earns a good packet!!

I've been there this morning - walked a dear little terrier, a gorgeous greyhound and a very friendly staffy X. All lovely dogs so fingers crossed they get good homes soon. :luck: :luck:
