Simply Jaspers Partners with the Rescue Pet Awards 2026 to Celebrate the UK Rescue Community

May 26,2026

Simply Jaspers is proud to announce its sponsorship of the inaugural Rescue Pet Awards 2026, celebrating rescue pets, shelters, volunteers, and organisations making a real difference in animal welfare.

Organised by Only Rescues, the multi award-winning adoption platform, the awards shine a spotlight on the individuals, charities, and brands working to improve the lives of rescue animals across the UK and beyond.

The need for this work remains crucial, as shelters continue to face ongoing pressure. Around 21 dogs are euthanised every day in the UK due to overcrowded shelters, with over 100,000 dogs homeless at any time. Dogs and cats account for the majority of shelter surrenders, with dogs alone making up 47% and cats 36%.

As sponsor of the UK Shelter of the Year Award, Simply Jaspers is especially proud to support one of the most meaningful categories in the programme. We will also donate £500 to the winning shelter in recognition of their impact and dedication.

Shelters across the UK are invited to apply for the UK Shelter of the Year category, recognising the dedication and care shown to animals in their care every day.

“We’re delighted to welcome Simply Jaspers as a sponsor of the Rescue Pet Awards 2026,” said Tara Hamdi, Founder of Only Rescues. “Partnerships like this help us celebrate the rescue community while continuing our mission to help more rescue pets find loving forever homes.”
