URGENT: Save Rescue Dogs from New Law

Posted On: Jul 24th 2025

...

A well-meaning UK bill could accidentally shut the door on hundreds of abused, abandoned ex-working dogs—just because they have docked tails. These are not cosmetic cases, but victims of a throwaway culture abroad.

For over 50 years, we at The Pointer Rescue Service have given these dogs a second chance. Without a vital rescue exemption, our mission could end—and these dogs will face fear, suffering, further unthinkable cruelty or death overseas.

👉 Act now: Call for a clear exemption for legitimate rescue dogs in the Animal Welfare Bill.
Their lives depend on it. 🐾
