This parade saved lives 🐶❤️🙏

The Rescue Dogs of London & Friends Christmas Jumper Parade was about more than dogs in Christmas jumpers, it was about second chances for dogs in China & Greece…

🇨🇳 Slaughterhouse Survivors
This year, 500 dogs were saved from the meat trade and breeders supplying it. Right now, over 1,400 dogs and 200 cats receive daily food, medical care, shelter and rehabilitation, dogs (and cats) who would not be alive otherwise

🇬🇷 ZEM Rescues
In 2025 alone, ZEM rescued 163 puppies and 44 adult dogs, rehoming 153 dogs so far this year.
ZEM currently cares for around 70 dogs, feeds hundreds on the streets, and has already spayed around 400 dogs this year, tackling the crisis, as well as the daily heartbreak

With the support of Furbo For Good, the charitable initiative by which donates £1 from every Furbo purchase to help shelter pets, we were able to make Christmas brighter for dogs who need it most. Support like this doesn’t just help rescue dogs, it keeps them alive 🙏💛🐾

Events like the Christmas Jumper Parade help fund food, urgent medical care, and survival every single day for dogs at & .rescues 🥹

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated and supported rescue dogs. Your support made a real difference 🐕🙌

We are forever grateful to Slaughterhouse Survivors for saving Lulu & to ZEM Rescues for saving Piccolina 🙏🙏

Together, we raised £3,100 for rescue dogs 🐶🎉

Thanks to the incredible support of over 100 amazing dogs and their wonderful humans, we’ve made a real difference this Christmas 🫶🎄This brilliant total has been split equally between .rescues and helping to bring hope to rescue dogs in need ❤️

Seeing so many pups (and their humans) parading down The Mall in festive jumpers for these two special charities was truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t have done it without you!!! 💚

And in case you didn’t know…these causes are particularly close to our hearts because our own dogs were adopted from these amazing charities - Piccolina from ZEM Rescues, and George from Hungary Hearts Dog Rescue 🐶🐶

Once again a special thank you to the fantastic pup brands who supported our event:
✨ Sponsor: .rockster
☕ Post-parade reception:
🎁 Goodie bags: .rockster .uk
🏆 Jolliest Christmas Jumper prizes: .rockster .co .tothemoon .my.human .uk
📣 PR:

And a HUGE shoutout to for capturing these magical moments 📸✨ Swipe through to relive the joy of the day 🐕🎅

We can’t wait to see you all again next year to make the parade, and hope for rescue dogs, even bigger ❤️🐾

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
