Blue Cross UK

Join the race to end greyhound racing! Thousands of racing greyhounds are suffering from birth to death, living in poor conditions and facing serious injury or death on the track. The industry still hasn’t listened to welfare advice. It’s time to stop dog exploitation. This summer, we're aiming for 100,000 signatures to end this cruelty. With over 80,000 already, we need your help to cross the finish line. 🙏 Please sign our petition today to ensure a safe, loving future for these greyhounds. Let’s put an end to their preventable suffering. 🖱👉✒: https://lnkd.in/eybv4Dyn You can also support us by sharing this post to reach even more people! #EndGreyhoundRacing #DontRaceEmbrace #Petition #AnimalWelfare #BlueCrossUK #DogsofLinkedin

Every June, everyone at Blue Cross UK - volunteers and staff alike – come together for an incredible month of fundraising, and this year has been no exception! From car washes 🚗🧽 and quiz nights 🧠🎤 to plant sales 🌱 and sponsored walks 🚶♂️, the creativity and dedication has been inspiring.   A special shout out to our fearless Learning & Development Administrator, Amy! This year, Amy went above and beyond. Her heart stopping 15,000 foot (2.84 miles high 🤢) skydive wasn't just a thrill; it was an incredible feat of courage that has raised significant funds for pets and people in need. Amy's bravery is a true testament to the dedication of our Blue Cross family. 🐾❤️   Feeling inspired? You can help us raise funds too! If you'd like to raise funds, there are countless ways you can make a difference and we'll support you! 🖱 👉 https://rb.gy/a8xc6p to find inspiration and more about arranging an event in support of Blue Cross UK 🙏 #Helpingthecommunity #Raisemoney #Givingback #CharityTuesday #animalwelfare

It's not many people who get their retirement covered on the BBC but I think we all feel this one definitely merits it! A huge thank you to Neil as he ends 50 years of employment with Blue Cross UK today (though he will be back tomorrow for his first day as a volunteer!). His dedication to the charity has been incredible and the work he has done to build up the Bromsgrove centre since setting it up in 1986 is inspiring. He has built up the team of employees and volunteers and has personally cared for and rehomed thousands of animals during that time. We all wish him a wonderful retirement and we look forwards to carrying on in his footsteps!

At Blue Cross UK, we see animals in all kinds of situations. Amber's story is one of heartbreak and hope.  This sweet Golden Retriever was found abandoned, heavily pregnant, and suffering from neglect. So terrified, she fled every attempt at help until she was utterly exhausted. A concerned dog walker finally brought her to a local vet, and a few days later, Amber arrived at Blue Cross's Burford rehoming centre in Oxfordshire.  The signs pointed towards her being used by backyard breeders. Skeletal and with a severe case of mange, it was clear Amber and her unborn puppies wouldn't survive without intervention.  💔 Our dedicated team at Burford immediately assessed Amber's condition. Weakened and in pain, she needed urgent medical attention. Fearing a natural birth would be too risky, they performed an emergency C-section, delivering eight healthy puppies! But Amber's journey wasn't over. It took time, patience and a safe environment for her to trust her carers. Slowly, Amber began to heal – both physically and emotionally. In the meantime, Amber's puppies thrived! At eight weeks old, each one found a loving forever home. And Amber's happy ever after wasn't far behind. She found the second chance she deserved with a wonderful family. 🏡 👩👩👧👧 Can you help animals like Amber find their happy ever after?

We'll provide all the training and ongoing support you need, plus all expenses related to caring for your foster pet (including travel costs) are covered by Blue Cross.
