Totally 'pawsome' Rugby animal charity nominated for national award

Hard-working volunteers at a dog rescue charity based in Rugby have been nominated for a national award.

Pawprints Dog Rescue has been shortlisted for Team of the Year in the Petplan and ADCH Animal Charity Awards 2023.

Founder Anita Twigger, head of operations for the charity, said: “Thank you to the people who nominated us.

“We are so grateful to our dedicated staff and volunteers. It would be impossible to single one person out as the whole team go above and beyond their duties.”

Pawprints started as a Facebook group offering advice and guidance on responsible dog ownership.

The charity has gone on to helped save thousands of stray dogs facing euthanasia having served their statutory time in the council pound.

Anita praised her team, adding: “I’m so proud of them.”
