Shooting Star PR Wins Jerry Green Dog Rescue Account
News release
21st January 2013
One of the UK’s most prominent dog rescue charities has taken on Shooting Star PR to raise its profile and support its fund-raising after a competitive pitch.
Jerry Green Dog Rescue, a charitable organisation founded in Lincolnshire in 1961, rescues, cares for and rehomes abandoned and unwanted dogs at five centres across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.
The charity has appointed Lincoln-based Shooting Star PR to handle all its publicity and PR after a competitive tender process which began last year.
The agency’s directors Kate Strawson and Jez Ashberry are both dog lovers and both own rescue dogs themselves – something Jerry Green Dog Rescue says was an important consideration.
“We wanted a capable and responsive PR agency to help us raise our profile and we knew we needed to work alongside people who understand dogs,” said Catherine Foster, Head of Fundraising at Jerry Green Dog Rescue.
“We were delighted to find Shooting Star PR and we are already working closely together with their team on a number of projects.”
The charity today launched its Love Us, Love Our Dogs campaign for Valentine’s Day, urging people to donate a shoebox filled with toys and treats to their local Jerry Green Dog Rescue centre.
Jez Ashberry, a Director of Shooting Star PR, said: “This is another great client win for us and we’re already loving visiting the rescue centres and getting to know the dogs that are cared for there.
“Jerry Green Dog Rescue is a very long-established charity with impeccable credentials, and we’re pleased to be helping them gain the profile and reputation that they so clearly deserve.”
Shooting Star PR has now worked for more than 100 clients since it was founded in 2006. Current clients include DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln, Beatson Clark, Bishop Grosseteste University, onlincolnshire, Cool Milk, Duncan & Toplis and the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership.
