Hide AdOverseer of Three Counties Dog Rescue Gyll Mauchline, who has shown a lifelong passion for animal welfare and dedication to pursuing the health and happiness of pets and owners, said: “Animals come to neglect and abandonment through no fault of their own. We want to get it right for them and we are still there for them for the rest of their lives. This donation from Petplan has allowed us to help yet another dog in need.”
Gyll also recalled the case of German shepherd / Doberman cross Caesar who was attacked when he was just 10 weeks old and who arrived at the centre with multiple fractures and extensive nerve damage. As a result of his injuries, Caesar’s jaw grew twisted and was only able to open a few millimetres.
Caesar was skeletal but thanks to the tireless dedication of the Rescue’s voluntary surgical team and six years of recovery behind him, Cesar is unrecognisable as the starved and shaken pup that arrived at Three Counties. He now weights 50kg and is, says Gyll, “an incredible dog.”
Petplan’s Head of Marketing, Isabella von Mesterhazy, added: “At Petplan we work with over 1,200 animal charities, more than any other pet insurer. We understand the challenges animal welfare organisations face and provide four weeks’ free insurance to anyone rehoming a pet from one of our animal charities.”

Hide AdIsabella continues: “Pet insurance can help pet owners cover the cost of unexpected veterinary treatment and provides reassurance for adopters during those precious first weeks while an adopted animal settles into its new home. It also offers peace of mind for charities; uninsured animals are more likely to be returned to the rehoming centre if they are ill or injured. Having your pet insured is an important part of taking care of its future health.”
