Present First ‘Ladies That Rescue’ Award at Crufts 2007Trover ® Enterprises Ltd and Animal Friends Insurance were delighted to have presented their first ‘Ladies That Rescue’ award at Crufts, NEC 8th- 11th March 2007.
Celebrating and recognising the positive work achieved by women in rescue, the presentation took place on Trover® Coat’s UK distributor’s stand - Country Mun - stand no: 142 - Hall 2 , on Friday 9th March at 2.15 pm.
In response to staggering figures that reveal that 101, 586 stray dogs were found in the UK last year and that 7, 743 dogs were destroyed for want of a home, Trover ® and Animal Friends Insurance were keen to acknowledge the valuable rescue work achieved by women volunteers – without which these figures would be higher.
Inundated with entries all of which were extremely worthy, it is the aim to make this an annual competition, which will heighten awareness for women in rescue and the on-going recognition that they deserve.
Animal Friends Insurance Founder MD, Elaine Fairfax, and Obedience and Freestyle expert, Donelda Guy, presented the £500.00 prize to the winner Val Philips of Valgrays Border Collie Rescue. She was accompanied by Red – rescue dog of the year 2006 who was proudly wearing his bespoke Trover® Coat in style. This amazing dog was found under a heap of 6 dead collies in a caravan in Ireland
The runner up Jacquie Neilson of Rain Rescue received a Bootsuit presented by Tim Valentine, MD, of Bootsuit.
Winner Val Philips enthused:
“ I am deeply moved to have received such an honourable award. It is a great thing that people have at last begun to acknowledge the work done by so many women who give up their lives rescuing and caring for abused and abandoned dogs. The prize money will go back into Valgrays to help provide for more border collies in the future.”
Elaine Fairfax commented:
“ It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with Jane Aireton and Toni Cherrett of Trover®. Together we hope to make others aware that literally hundreds of women, often single handed, contribute to helping animals in need, through their generosity of spirit and genuine love of creatures who don’t have a voice.”
Jane Aireton of Trover ® Enterprises Ltd added:
“ We have been deeply moved by the women who have entered the ‘Ladies That Rescue’ competition. Their heartbreaking stories, which tell of 150% commitment, compassion and care for animals, whilst fighting for funds and working against incredible odds, are inspiring and deserve to be told.”

Trover ® helps to wrap up New Orleans’ destruction
Alderney based Trover® Enterprises, inventors of the TroverÒ Coat and TroverÒ Wonder Beds continue their support to The Humane Society of Louisiana after a Tornado hit the region in January, causing serious damage to their animal shelter.
In response to the fact that hundreds of dogs ‘in rescue’ following Hurricane Katrina are once again left traumatised with their temporary home swept into ruins, Trover Coats has dispatched a fleet of Trover® Wonder Beds, courtesy of DHL to offer some help in the aftermath of this latest disaster.When Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana in 2005, leaving hundreds of animals injured and homeless, Trover® were quick to respond and offer their invaluable support, earning them their “Hurricane Partnership Award’.
Working with The Humane Society of Louisiana, Trover® provided comfort to rescued dogs by sending over their specially designed “Katrina” coats which proved a whirlwind success.
Jeff Dorson, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Louisiana commented: “ Trover® helped us at a time when we needed it most. We don’t have the facility to keep all our rescued dogs inside, so within a fortnight of hearing that the dogs needed winter coats, several large boxes containing expertly made heavy fleece dog coats arrived from Fraggle Rock. Windy Corner, Alderney. They were an invaluable contribution to our cause and helped many traumatized larger dogs that are the most difficult to re-home.”
With a firm relationship quickly established between Trover® Coats and The Humane Society, Trover Coats reacted quickly to this recent disaster.
Collaborating with DHL for a second time, Trover® has dispatched a fleet of its new Trover® Wonder Bedsä to Tylertown, Louisiana, where the tornado destroyed outdoor kennels, dog play areas and one small portable building, with thousands of US dollars worth of supplies and premium pet food being completely ruined.
Trover’s® co-founder, Jane Aireton commented: “Rescuing animals of all kinds is very important to us. We’re so pleased that we offered some practical help to The Humane Society in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. And now we’re hoping that our Wonder Beds will also help post tornado. DHL has again played a major role and kindly accepted to pay for the bed’s carriage - their support has been fantastic. As the Shelter’s costly re-building process begins again, we have already sent a small donation and are encouraging others to do the same.”

Whilst at Crufts 2007 Jane heard about a very special rescued Greyhound, Heather who lives in Devon with her owner. She was a racing greyhound whose cruel owner had no more need of her, so injected her with strong drugs, cut off her ears (as they contained tattoos which would identify him ) and left her in a field in Ireland to die. She was found in a ditch, bleeding profusely and trying to struggle home.
She was rescued and nursed for many months but because she has no ear lobes she needed protection and Trover Enterprises Ltd. supplied one of their fluorescent ruffs which absolutely solved the problem.
