Vet Nurse Online has announced the award of its £500 Volunteering for Animal Welfare grant to Ashley Crews, a veterinary nurse who volunteers "all the time" raising orphaned puppies and kittens in the UK.

Vet Nurse Online says Ashley's dedication to her volunteer work was clear from her application form, and they thought she really deserves the award, which will be spent on an incubator to help her with her busy work and give the puppies and kittens she cares for the best possible chance.

Ashley has hand-reared over a hundred puppies and kittens, and does it all at the same time as her vet nurse day job.

Vet Nurse Online says it hopes that the incubator will help her with her volunteering and the puppies and kittens she cares for.
