										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Real stories from the people helping rescue dogs and cats </strong></h2>
<p data-start="336" data-end="649">At RAIN, our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. From caring for dogs and cats in our kennels and cattery, to fostering animals in their own homes, to supporting behind-the-scenes operations — every volunteer plays a vital role in helping rescue animals recover and find loving forever homes.</p>
<p data-start="651" data-end="823">Our volunteer team is made up of people from all walks of life, united by a shared love of animals and a desire to make a difference. These are just a few of their stories.</p>
<h2 data-start="651" data-end="823">Maxine – Finding purpose after retirement through animal rescue volunteering</h2>
<p data-start="911" data-end="1117">Maxine joined Rain Rescue after retiring from a 30-year career. Looking for purpose, connection, and something meaningful to give back to, she found volunteering with animals to be the perfect next chapter.</p>
<p data-start="1119" data-end="1498">“My favourite part of volunteering is being part of an amazing team of caring people and seeing the cats and dogs leave the centre for their forever homes. It’s heartbreaking to see some of them arrive lost, scared and poorly, through no fault of their own. It’s wonderful to watch them grow in confidence, learn to trust again and start their next chapter with a loving family.”</p>
<p data-start="1119" data-end="1498"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-64603 alignright" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-1.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p data-start="1500" data-end="1722">One of Maxine’s most memorable moments was caring for two tiny kittens, Summer and Autumn, who arrived abandoned in a carrier. With patience and care, they blossomed into confident kittens and went on to find loving homes.</p>
<p data-start="1724" data-end="1805">Volunteering has given Maxine lasting friendships and a renewed sense of purpose.</p>

</ul>
<p data-start="1855" data-end="1979">Her advice to anyone thinking about volunteering:<br data-start="1904" data-end="1907" /><strong data-start="1907" data-end="1979">“Stop thinking about it and just do it – you won’t be disappointed.”</strong></p>
<h2 data-section-id="nmvqle" data-start="1986" data-end="2049">Jackie – The joy of seeing rescue animals find forever homes</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64604 alignleft" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-2.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p data-start="2051" data-end="2174">Jackie describes her volunteer journey as “amazing,” working alongside dedicated staff and other volunteers at Rain Rescue.Volunteering brings her great happiness, especially when the animals she has helped care for are adopted into loving homes.</p>
<p data-start="2301" data-end="2395">“It is very rewarding, especially when so many have come to us from heartbreaking situations.”</p>
<p data-start="2397" data-end="2468">For Jackie, every adoption represents hope, healing, and a fresh start.</p>
<p data-start="1855" data-end="1979">
<p data-start="1855" data-end="1979">
<h2 data-start="1855" data-end="1979">Sue – Rediscovering purpose through cat rescue volunteering and fostering</h2>
<p data-start="2553" data-end="2711">After a 43-year career, Sue was looking for a new sense of purpose. With a lifelong love of animals — especially cats — she joined Rain Rescue as a volunteer.</p>
<p data-start="2713" data-end="2872">She supports the cattery team by helping ensure cats are safe, cared for, and given time to relax and build confidence while they wait for their forever homes.</p>
<p data-start="2874" data-end="3005">Sue finds it incredibly rewarding to watch frightened and uncertain cats slowly develop into confident, affectionate personalities.</p>
<p data-start="2874" data-end="3005"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64605 alignright" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-3.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p data-start="3007" data-end="3115">She has also recently taken on her first fostering experience, caring for a mother cat and her five kittens:</p>
<p data-start="3117" data-end="3262">“It has been an interesting and very rewarding experience. They are so cute and funny, all with individual personalities. I have learnt so much!”</p>
<p data-start="3264" data-end="3332">Sue describes volunteering as:<br />
<strong data-start="3295" data-end="3332">Dedicated, caring, and supportive</strong></p>
<p data-start="3334" data-end="3526">Her message to anyone thinking about getting involved:<br />
<strong data-start="3389" data-end="3526">“Go for it — it’s so rewarding, and you are helping the community, the animals in their care, and finding their new ‘pawfect’ homes.”</strong></p>
<h2 data-start="3334" data-end="3526"></h2>
<h2 data-start="3334" data-end="3526">Gemma &amp; Sharon – Helping dogs thrive behind the scenes</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-64606 alignleft" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/social-and-web-Posts-4.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p data-start="3592" data-end="3676">Not all heroes are in the spotlight every day, but their impact is just as powerful.</p>
<p data-start="3678" data-end="3714">Kennel supervisor Emma says it best:</p>
<p data-start="3716" data-end="3874">“Gemma and Sharon go above and beyond every day, helping to make everything run smoothly while giving the dogs the love, attention, and support they deserve.”</p>
<p data-start="3876" data-end="3995">Their consistency and care help create a stable, nurturing environment where rescue dogs can recover and rebuild trust.</p>
<p data-start="3876" data-end="3995">
<h2 style="text-align: center;" data-start="3876" data-end="3995"><strong>Why volunteering with animal rescue matters</strong></h2>
<p data-start="4050" data-end="4285">Volunteers at RAIN help transform the lives of abandoned, abused, and neglected animals. Every walk, every clean kennel, every cuddle, every foster placement contributes to a bigger journey — from rescue to recovery to rehoming. Without volunteers, this life-changing work simply wouldn’t be possible.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="isSelectedEnd">Every year during Volunteers&#8217; Week, we take the opportunity to celebrate the incredible people who make our lifesaving work possible. At RAIN, our volunteers and foster carers are at the heart of everything we do. Their compassion, dedication and generosity help transform the lives of vulnerable dogs and cats across South Yorkshire and beyond.</p>
<p>As we mark Volunteers&#8217; Week 2026, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who gives their time to help animals in need.<a href="https://rainrescue.co.uk/volunteer-2/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-64576 aligncenter" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Donate-a-meal-button-300x96.png" alt="" width="213" height="68" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Donate-a-meal-button-300x96.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Donate-a-meal-button-768x247.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Donate-a-meal-button-600x193.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Donate-a-meal-button.png 810w" sizes="(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px" /></a></p>
<h2>The Impact Volunteers Have on Rescue Dogs and Cats</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Behind every successful rescue story is a team of passionate volunteers working tirelessly to support animals through every stage of their journey.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Whether they&#8217;re helping with fundraising, transporting animals, supporting events, capturing professional photographs that help rescue dogs and cats find homes, or helping behind the scenes, volunteers enable Rain Rescue to reach more animals and provide the care they desperately need.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-64575 alignright" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-4.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p data-start="56" data-end="147">Thanks to the dedication of our supporters, volunteers and foster carers, in 2025 alone we:</p>
<ul data-start="152" data-end="350">
<li data-section-id="2z0em" data-start="152" data-end="204">Helped <strong data-start="161" data-end="204">315 dogs and cats find loving new homes</strong></li>
<li data-section-id="ztoioa" data-start="207" data-end="265">Provided <strong data-start="218" data-end="265">vital veterinary treatment to 1,595 animals</strong></li>
<li data-section-id="1vv5ye" data-start="268" data-end="348">Gave countless dogs and cats a second chance at happiness, health and security</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="353" data-end="585">These numbers represent far more than statistics. They represent frightened animals receiving the medical care they desperately need, neglected pets learning to trust again, and families welcoming a new best friend into their lives.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">These numbers represent more than statistics. They represent frightened animals receiving lifesaving medical care, neglected pets learning to trust again, and families welcoming a new best friend into their lives.</p>
<p>Every volunteer hour contributes directly to making these outcomes possible.</p>
<h2>How Foster Carers Help Rescue Dogs and Cats</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Foster carers are a special type of volunteer who open their homes and hearts to animals in need.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Many dogs and cats arrive at Rain Rescue feeling scared, confused or recovering from illness, injury or neglect. A foster home provides them with a safe, loving environment where they can begin to heal.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Giving Animals a Safe Place to Recover</h3>
<p>Some animals need time to recover after veterinary treatment, while others simply need a calm environment away from the stress of kennel life. Foster carers provide comfort, stability and routine during this important stage of rehabilitation.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64577" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Volunteer-week-6.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<h3>Creating Space for More Rescues</h3>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Every animal placed in foster care frees up valuable rescue space, allowing Rain Rescue to help even more dogs and cats in urgent need.</p>
<p>Without foster carers, many animals would have fewer opportunities to receive the individual attention and care they deserve.</p>

<h2 class="">Why Volunteers Matter More Than Ever</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Animal rescue is a team effort. Rising costs, increasing numbers of animals needing support and growing demand for veterinary care mean that volunteers play a more important role than ever before.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Their kindness helps us stretch every donation further and maximise our impact for animals.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">From walking dogs and transporting pets to fundraising and fostering, volunteers make a lasting difference every single day.</p>
<h2>Join the Rain Rescue Family</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">This Volunteers&#8217; Week, we&#8217;re celebrating every person who has given their time, skills and compassion to help rescue dogs and cats.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">If you&#8217;ve ever considered volunteering or fostering, there&#8217;s never been a better time to get involved.</p>

<p data-start="371" data-end="541">At RAIN, we see every day just how life-changing adoption can be — not only for the cats who find safety and love, but also for the families who welcome them home.</p>

<h2 data-section-id="bjrvk" data-start="548" data-end="588">Why rescuing a cat is so important</h2>
<p data-start="590" data-end="796">Across the UK, countless cats are still waiting for their chance at a better life. Many arrive in rescue through no fault of their own — abandoned, found as strays, or surrendered when circumstances change.</p>
<p data-start="798" data-end="828">By choosing to adopt, you are:</p>
<ul>
<li> Giving a cat a second chance at life</li>
<li>Opening space in rescue for another cat in need</li>
<li>Supporting a more compassionate and ethical way to welcome a pet into your home</li>
<li>Often adopting a cat who is already health-checked, vaccinated, and microchipped</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="1097" data-end="1166">Every adoption truly makes a difference — far beyond just one animal.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="3ocb0a" data-start="1173" data-end="1205">The reality of rescue cats</h2>
<p data-start="1207" data-end="1290">One of the biggest misconceptions is that rescue cats are “damaged” or “difficult”.</p>
<p data-start="1292" data-end="1360">In truth, most are simply waiting for stability, patience, and love.</p>
<p data-start="1362" data-end="1416">At RAIN, we care for cats of all personalities:</p>
<ul data-start="1417" data-end="1580">
<li data-section-id="1u37mdd" data-start="1417" data-end="1453">Confident, affectionate lap cats</li>
<li data-section-id="cuh8ex" data-start="1454" data-end="1495">Shy cats who need time to build trust</li>
<li data-section-id="kqli29" data-start="1496" data-end="1530">Playful kittens full of energy</li>
<li data-section-id="1aoppde" data-start="1531" data-end="1580">Older cats looking for a quiet, peaceful home</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="1582" data-end="1669">There is a perfect match for almost every home — it’s just about finding the right one.</p>
<p data-start="1582" data-end="1669"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64528" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Skydive-graphics-for-fundraisers-29.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>

<p data-start="1711" data-end="1861">When you adopt from RAIN, you’re not just taking home a cat — you’re becoming part of a rescue journey built on care, rehabilitation, and hope.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="isSelectedEnd">Elsie’s story began in the saddest way.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">She was found tied to a lamppost, alone and abandoned, with no explanation why. She must have been so confused and frightened, waiting for someone who never came back. Thankfully, some kind people found her and took her straight to the vets, worried for her safety and wellbeing.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The vets then got in touch with us at, and of course, we said yes to bringing Elsie into our care.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">We don’t know much about Elsie’s past life, or why she was abandoned, but despite everything she had been through, Elsie showed us just how gentle and loving she truly was. Beneath her worried eyes was the softest, sweetest girl who simply wanted kindness and comfort.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">During her five weeks with us at RAIN, Elsie began to truly shine. She loved going on long walks with the kennel team — it quickly became her favourite time of day. That, or settling in for cuddles and belly rubs, which she absolutely adored.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Emma, our kennel supervisor, said: <em>“Elsie could happily take belly rubs all day, a true big softie.”</em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64395" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T142413.606.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Slowly, Elsie grew in confidence. The nervous girl who first arrived started to relax, trust, and enjoy life again. Watching her transformation was something truly special for everyone who met her.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Then, after five weeks in our care, Elsie’s forever people came along.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">And finally, the girl who had once been abandoned and left behind found exactly where she belonged.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Her new family told us, <em>“We just wanted to let you know how much she is loved and cared for already.”</em></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">We want to say a heartfelt thank you to Elsie’s adopters for choosing to adopt her and giving her the second chance she so deeply deserves. Thank you for seeing her, choosing her, and giving her the life she was always meant to have.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">From abandoned and unwanted, to absolutely adored — this is why we do what we do.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="65" data-end="446">This May Bank Holiday is set to be a hot one, with temperatures expected to soar to <strong data-start="149" data-end="163">30 degrees</strong> across parts of the UK. While many of us will be enjoying the sunshine, the rising heat can be dangerous for our pets. At <span class="" data-state="closed"><a class="decorated-link cursor-pointer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RAIN</a></span>, we want to remind pet owners how important it is to keep dogs and cats safe, cool, and comfortable during warmer weather.</p>
<p data-start="448" data-end="568">Heatstroke and dehydration can happen quickly, especially in pets, so taking a few simple precautions could save a life.</p>
<hr data-start="570" data-end="573" />
<h2 data-section-id="vn947d" data-start="575" data-end="627">1. Avoid Walks During the Hottest Part of the Day</h2>
<p data-start="629" data-end="869">When temperatures climb, dogs should only be walked during the coolest parts of the day — early morning or later in the evening. Hot pavements can burn sensitive paw pads, and exercising in the heat greatly increases the risk of heatstroke.</p>
<p data-start="871" data-end="935">If it feels too hot for you, it’s probably too hot for your dog.</p>
<p data-start="937" data-end="1063">Cats are less likely to go on walks, but outdoor cats should always have access to shaded areas where they can escape the sun.</p>
<hr data-start="1065" data-end="1068" />
<h2 data-section-id="1cgy3x2" data-start="1070" data-end="1115">2. Keep Fresh Water Available at All Times</h2>
<p data-start="1117" data-end="1252">Hydration is essential during hot weather. Make sure both dogs and cats have constant access to fresh, cool water indoors and outdoors.</p>
<p data-start="1254" data-end="1398">Top tip: Add extra water bowls around your home and garden during heatwaves, and consider adding ice cubes to help keep water cooler for longer.</p>
<p data-start="1254" data-end="1398"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-64377 aligncenter" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T133617.835.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<hr data-start="1400" data-end="1403" />
<h2 data-section-id="1n81zbj" data-start="1405" data-end="1436">3. Create Cool, Shady Spaces</h2>
<p data-start="1438" data-end="1582">Pets need somewhere cool and comfortable to relax away from direct sunlight. Whether indoors or outside, provide shaded areas with good airflow.</p>
<p data-start="1584" data-end="1614">Helpful cooling ideas include:</p>
<ul data-start="1616" data-end="1778">
<li data-section-id="oec0w6" data-start="1616" data-end="1648">Cooling mats for dogs and cats</li>
<li data-section-id="1tr45y0" data-start="1649" data-end="1683">Tiled or hard flooring to lie on</li>
<li data-section-id="1uwk5ty" data-start="1684" data-end="1728">Fans or open windows with safe ventilation</li>
<li data-section-id="14ti2z0" data-start="1729" data-end="1778">Shaded garden spots or covered outdoor shelters</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="1780" data-end="1890">Cats often seek out hidden warm spots, so check sheds, greenhouses, conservatories, and sunny rooms regularly.</p>
<p data-start="1780" data-end="1890"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-64378 aligncenter" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T134059.520.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<hr data-start="1892" data-end="1895" />
<h2 data-section-id="1rv4exv" data-start="1897" data-end="1929">4. Help Them Cool Down Safely</h2>
<p data-start="1931" data-end="2063">Using a damp towel on the floor or gently misting your pet with cool (not icy cold) water can help regulate body temperature safely.</p>
<p data-start="2065" data-end="2139">Never pour freezing water over an overheated pet, as this can cause shock.</p>
<p data-start="2141" data-end="2214">Some dogs may also enjoy paddling pools or frozen treats during hot days.</p>
<hr data-start="2216" data-end="2219" />
<h2 data-section-id="f65w22" data-start="2221" data-end="2259">5. Swap Walks for Indoor Enrichment</h2>
<p data-start="2261" data-end="2430">If it’s too hot to head outside, try mentally stimulating activities instead. Dogs and cats both benefit from enrichment that keeps them entertained without overheating.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1n9t00h" data-start="2432" data-end="2461">Enrichment Ideas for Dogs</h3>
<ul data-start="2462" data-end="2544">
<li data-section-id="vikd6q" data-start="2462" data-end="2476">Snuffle mats</li>
<li data-section-id="1barq1u" data-start="2477" data-end="2493">Puzzle feeders</li>
<li data-section-id="1610das" data-start="2494" data-end="2524">Treat hunts around the house</li>
<li data-section-id="1md0494" data-start="2525" data-end="2544">Short scent games</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="2546" data-end="2638">Did you know? Just 15 minutes of scent work can tire a dog out as much as an hour-long walk.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1n9qxhn" data-start="2640" data-end="2669">Enrichment Ideas for Cats</h3>
<ul data-start="2670" data-end="2769">
<li data-section-id="ai4o8x" data-start="2670" data-end="2685">Treat puzzles</li>
<li data-section-id="1ndck7q" data-start="2686" data-end="2713">Wand toys in cooler rooms</li>
<li data-section-id="1w2gwra" data-start="2714" data-end="2748">Cardboard boxes and hiding games</li>
<li data-section-id="1o4kgfe" data-start="2749" data-end="2769">Frozen lick treats</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="2771" data-end="2844">Keeping pets mentally engaged is a great alternative during extreme heat.</p>
<hr data-start="2846" data-end="2849" />
<h2 data-section-id="n8y18q" data-start="2851" data-end="2902">6. Know the Signs of Heatstroke in Dogs and Cats</h2>
<p data-start="2904" data-end="2980">Heatstroke is a serious medical emergency and can become fatal very quickly.</p>
<p data-start="2982" data-end="3016">Watch out for these warning signs:</p>
<ul data-start="3018" data-end="3154">
<li data-section-id="1bz249s" data-start="3018" data-end="3033">Heavy panting</li>
<li data-section-id="1k43bf7" data-start="3034" data-end="3054">Excessive drooling</li>
<li data-section-id="1iy8k5a" data-start="3055" data-end="3077">Lethargy or weakness</li>
<li data-section-id="a4l3o3" data-start="3078" data-end="3101">Vomiting or diarrhoea</li>
<li data-section-id="lr3o17" data-start="3102" data-end="3125">Confusion or wobbling</li>
<li data-section-id="1gca44j" data-start="3126" data-end="3136">Collapse</li>
<li data-section-id="130kxce" data-start="3137" data-end="3154">Rapid breathing</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3156" data-end="3274">Cats can sometimes hide symptoms, so unusual behaviour, heavy breathing, or weakness should always be taken seriously.</p>
<p data-start="3276" data-end="3339">If you notice any of these signs, contact your vet immediately.</p>
<hr data-start="3341" data-end="3344" />
<h2 data-section-id="qbysoa" data-start="3346" data-end="3396">7. Check Pavement Temperatures Before Going Out</h2>
<p data-start="3398" data-end="3549">Before walking your dog, place the back of your hand on the pavement for five seconds. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.</p>
<p data-start="3551" data-end="3560">Stick to:</p>
<ul data-start="3561" data-end="3625">
<li data-section-id="1f0z9di" data-start="3561" data-end="3575">Grass routes</li>
<li data-section-id="11i8eqm" data-start="3576" data-end="3592">Woodland walks</li>
<li data-section-id="1rr5j6b" data-start="3593" data-end="3607">Shaded areas</li>
<li data-section-id="1b6ukts" data-start="3608" data-end="3625">Shorter outings</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3627" data-end="3706">On extremely hot days, skipping the walk altogether is often the safest option.</p>
<hr data-start="3708" data-end="3711" />
<h2 data-section-id="1dxen42" data-start="3713" data-end="3740">Never Leave Pets in Cars</h2>
<p data-start="3742" data-end="3904">Even with windows open, temperatures inside a car can become deadly within minutes. Dogs and cats should never be left unattended in vehicles during warm weather.</p>
<hr data-start="3906" data-end="3909" />
<h2 data-section-id="e2jnrx" data-start="3911" data-end="3946">Let’s Keep Pets Safe This Summer</h2>
<p data-start="3948" data-end="4205">Warm weather can be enjoyable for both people and pets, but safety must always come first. With temperatures reaching 30 degrees this May Bank Holiday, now is the perfect time to make sure your dogs and cats stay cool, hydrated, and protected from the heat.</p>
<p data-start="4207" data-end="4337">By taking a few simple precautions, you can help prevent heatstroke and keep your furry companions safe and happy all summer long.</p>
<p data-start="4339" data-end="4471" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">If you believe your pet may be suffering from heatstroke, seek veterinary advice immediately — acting quickly could save their life.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ruby Lost the Person She Loved Most</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Ruby’s story begins with loss, but it doesn’t end there.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">After the heartbreaking death of her owner, Ruby suddenly lost the person she loved and trusted most in the world. Everything familiar disappeared overnight, and this gentle little dog found herself entering rescue at nearly nine years old.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">But even in the sadness of that beginning, something hopeful is taking shape: the chance for Ruby’s story to become one of healing, kindness, and second chances.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Ruby is a nearly 9-year-old Jackapom who came into our care after her owner sadly passed away. From the moment she arrived, it was clear she had been deeply loved. She is gentle, affectionate, and completely used to home life. She carries that quiet trust in people that only comes from years of being cherished.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Now, it is our turn to honour that love by giving Ruby the future she deserves.</p>

<h2>Ruby’s Weight Is Seriously Affecting Her Health</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Ruby’s story is not one of blame or judgement. She was clearly deeply loved, and her weight gain likely happened slowly through comfort, routine, and affection. What matters now is helping her move forward with kindness, healing, and the chance to feel well again.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">When Ruby arrived in our care, she weighed 11.5kg with a Body Condition Score of over 9/9. For a dog her size, her ideal weight is around 5kg, with a healthy Body Condition Score of 4–5/9.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">This means Ruby is not just slightly overweight. Her obesity is already placing dangerous strain on her joints, heart, breathing, and overall quality of life. Every step she takes is harder than it should be.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Research from the University of Liverpool found that overweight dogs can live up to 2.5 years less on average than dogs at a healthy weight. Those missing years are not just numbers. They are walks in the sunshine, peaceful naps, gentle cuddles, and precious time feeling comfortable in her own body again.</p>

<h2>Ruby Has Already Started Her Weight Loss Journey</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Since coming into our care, Ruby has already made an incredible start.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">With a carefully managed diet plan, gentle exercise, and ongoing monitoring, she has already lost 1kg and now weighs 10.5kg. While that may sound small, it is a huge milestone for Ruby and proof that her future can change.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Part of Ruby’s recovery includes a specialist prescription weight loss food recommended by our veterinary team. This food is essential to help her lose weight safely and steadily while protecting her health.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Unfortunately, prescription veterinary diets are far more expensive than standard dog food, creating another ongoing cost in Ruby’s rehabilitation journey.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64369" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/social-and-web-Posts-2026-05-22T110315.078.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<h2>Ruby Also Urgently Needs Dental Surgery</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Alongside her weight loss treatment, Ruby urgently needs extensive dental work, including several tooth extractions.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Untreated dental disease can cause constant pain, infection, and discomfort, affecting a dog’s ability to eat, sleep, and enjoy daily life. Sadly, many dogs suffer silently with dental pain for months or even years.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The cost of Ruby’s dental treatment at a standard veterinary practice could reach £800–£900, but this treatment is essential. It is not cosmetic or optional. It is the difference between ongoing pain and finally being comfortable again.</p>
<h2>Help Dogs Like Ruby Get the Care They Deserve</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Ruby cannot do this alone, and neither can we.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Every stage of her recovery depends entirely on the kindness of supporters who believe every rescue dog deserves comfort, dignity, and a second chance, no matter their age or condition.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">When you donate, you are not just helping Ruby. You are helping dogs like Ruby — animals who arrive in rescue frightened, grieving, unwell, or in pain, and who desperately need compassionate care, veterinary treatment, and the chance to feel safe again.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Your support helps provide:</p>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li>Veterinary treatment</li>
<li>Dental care</li>
<li>Specialist diets</li>
<li>Rehabilitation and recovery support</li>
<li>Safety, comfort, and love for rescue dogs in need</li>
</ul>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Most importantly, your donation helps give vulnerable animals the chance to heal and enjoy a better future.</p>
<h2>Donate Today to Help Rescue Dogs in Need</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Ruby’s journey is already underway, but dogs like her still need your help every day.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Please donate today and help us continue giving rescue dogs the second chances they so deeply deserve.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Text RUBY to 70470 to donate £1.</p>
<p>Texts will cost the donation amount plus one standard network rate message.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="isSelectedEnd">After 14 weeks in RAIN’s care, we are overjoyed to share that Chika, our beautiful British Shorthair, has finally found her forever home.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Chika’s journey to happiness wasn’t an easy one, but it’s a story that highlights both the resilience of rescue cats and the incredible impact of foster care.</p>
<h2>Chika’s Story</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Chika came into RAIN under very sad circumstances after her beloved owner passed away. Understandably, she was confused, scared, and overwhelmed by everything that had changed so suddenly in her world.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">When she first arrived, it was clear she found the cattery environment too much to cope with. Because of how worried and shut down she was, we made the decision to place her into foster care so she could feel safe, supported, and begin to decompress.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">She went to live with our wonderful foster carers, Sam and Andy, who gave her the time, patience, and kindness she needed to start coming out of her shell.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Sam said: <em>“She thrives on fuss and tuna!!! and will make the most loving companion in the right home environment.”</em></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">And they were absolutely right.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64178" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried--300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried--300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried--1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried--150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried--768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried--600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried--100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-worried-.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<h2>The Power of Foster Care</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">While Chika waited for her perfect home, she spent 14 long weeks in foster care with Sam and Andy. During that time, they worked tirelessly to help her build confidence, feel safe again, and show her true personality.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Foster care is absolutely vital to the work we do at RAIN. Without foster carers, cats like Chika would struggle in a busy rescue environment where they cannot always show their best selves.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Because Chika was able to go into foster, another rescue cat was also able to take her place in the cattery and receive the care they needed. Foster carers quite literally save more than one life at a time.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64179" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Chika-in-foster.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<h2>The Perfect Match</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">After 14 weeks, the right application finally came through. Chika met her new family, who immediately understood that she would need time, patience, and gentle encouragement to settle in properly. They were fully committed to giving her exactly what she needed — a calm, understanding home where she could continue to grow in confidence.</p>
<h2>A Happy Update</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">We are delighted to share that Chika is settling into her forever home beautifully.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Her new family told us:</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><em>“She’s settled in amazingly and we’re so so proud of her. She was a shy girl at first and only came out from under the sofa for an explore in the evening and only came out for food when she was left alone in the flat. For the past couple of days she’s been out more than she’s been under the sofa, only hiding if anything spooks her. Even then, she comes out when she’s called, will run out and stare at me for her food, she’ll play with anything she can get her paws on and is absolutely loving fuss from both of us. She’s even come out for fusses when we have guests round and played with people she’s never met!”</em></p>

<h2>A New Chapter for Chika</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Chika’s journey is a beautiful reminder that every animal deserves time, patience, and the chance to feel safe again. Thanks to foster care, she was given that opportunity — and thanks to her new family, she now has the loving forever home she always deserved.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">A huge thank you to Sam and Andy for everything they did to help Chika on her journey, and to everyone who supports fostering at RAIN. Without you, stories like this simply wouldn’t be possible.</p>
<h2>Could You Be a Foster Carer?</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Chika’s story is only possible because of foster carers like Sam and Andy. Fostering gives animals the chance to decompress, heal, and show their true personalities in a home environment — and it directly helps us save more lives by freeing up space in our rescue.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">We are always in need of more foster carers. Whether you can offer short-term or longer-term support, you could make a life-changing difference to a rescue animal just like Chika.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="isSelectedEnd">May is Vet Nurse Awareness Month, a time dedicated to recognising the incredible work of Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) who care for animals every single day.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">At RAIN, our veterinary team plays a vital role in helping rescue animals receive the treatment, care, and compassion they need before finding loving homes. This month, we’re celebrating Tash, our dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse, and highlighting the important work veterinary nurses do behind the scenes.</p>
<h2>What Does a Registered Veterinary Nurse Do?</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Registered Veterinary Nurses are essential to animal welfare and veterinary care. They support animals through every stage of treatment — from admission and surgery to recovery and rehabilitation.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">At RAIN, Tash keeps our vet room running smoothly day to day and provides hands-on care to animals in need.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">On surgical days, Tash is there from start to finish:</p>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li>Admitting patients</li>
<li>Preparing animals for procedures</li>
<li>Monitoring patients under anaesthetic</li>
<li>Supporting recovery after surgery</li>
<li>Ensuring animals are safe and comfortable before returning to their families</li>
</ul>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Her role is crucial in making sure every animal receives the highest standard of veterinary care.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64175" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<h2>Supporting Rescue Animals Through Veterinary Care</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Many animals arriving at RAIN require urgent medical treatment, ongoing monitoring, or recovery support. Having an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse on site helps ensure animals receive the care they need quickly and safely.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Veterinary nurses not only provide medical support, but also comfort frightened or vulnerable animals during stressful situations. Their compassion can make a huge difference to an animal’s recovery journey.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-64174" src="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-300x300.png 300w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-150x150.png 150w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-768x768.png 768w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-600x600.png 600w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97-100x100.png 100w, https://rainrescue.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/website-imagesspotlight-97.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<h2>Celebrating Vet Nurse Awareness Month</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Vet Nurse Awareness Month helps raise awareness of the important work veterinary nurses do within animal rescue organisations, veterinary practices, and hospitals across the UK.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">At RAIN, we are incredibly grateful for Tash and the dedication she brings to helping rescue animals every single day.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Thank you, Tash, for everything you do <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f9e1.png" alt="🧡" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
