Birmingham Dogs Home announces Dr Scott Miller as new ambassador
Birmingham Dogs Home has announced TV vet and ‘This Morning’ star Dr Scott Miller will join the charity as its ambassador.
Famed for his endearing ‘Rescue Vet’ channel, which currently has over 114,000 subscribers on YouTube, Scott is supporting the West Midlands-based charity to help raise awareness of the work it does, and importantly, the thousands of dogs it rehomes each year.
Birmingham Dogs Home – despite rescuing more than 2,000 animals each year – receives no government funding and relies solely on the generosity of donators. With it costing the charity £6,000 a day just to keep the doors open, every single penny raised is vital.
Dr Scott Miller will be working with the charity to help promote its events and share the word about the dogs in its care – whilst also supporting the charity’s educational messages around responsible pet ownership.
The ambassadorship comes as Birmingham Dogs Home recently welcomed another famous face to its Birmingham centre in Solihull. Peggy – also known as Marvel Studio’s ‘Dogpool’ and once voted ‘Britain’s ugliest dog’ – along with her owners, dropped off a donation raised for the home during Comic Con Midlands in Birmingham.
Rachel Frost, Events & Community Fundraising Manager at Birmingham Dogs Home said: “We are delighted that Scott has chosen to support our charity. He already does so much for rescue centres up and down the country, we just know he’s the perfect fit for Birmingham Dogs Home too.
“Most of the dogs in our care are strays, through no fault of their own, facing a future filled with uncertainty. While finding them loving new homes is at the heart of what we do, it’s equally important that we give them the comfort, care, and the support they deserve while they wait. That’s why we’re so grateful to have Dr Scott’s support in raising awareness of Birmingham Dogs Home and the vital work we do across the West Midlands.”
Dr Scott Miller added: “It’s an overwhelming time for rescue centres, with more and more animals being abandoned post-Covid and due to the cost-of-living crisis. They need our help more than ever. Therefore, I’m delighted to be working with Birmingham Dogs Home and am looking forward to helping raise the profile of this superb yet vital charity in any way I can.”
