As a Valentine's Bonus, Nikki talks to Jack Jackson, co-lead of the Don't You Want Me project that aims to help members of the LGBQT+ community get rescue dogs and celebrates those who already have one via the Wild At Heart Foundation. As Jack explains, Queer and Trans people face a lot of discrimination and suffer from issues as a result that can lead to severe mental health problems. This can even extend to them having difficulty getting a rescue dog, which can be the life line they need to get better and is why the Wild At Heart Foundation is so proud to support it, helping to arrange adoptions, food with Butternut Box and insurance through Waggle.
