Registered Charity number 1000107
Objectives and Activities
Our objectives are to relieve the suffering of dogs who are in need of care and attention.In order to do this we raise funds from our charity
shop,bequests,subscriptions and online (charity Aid foundation,Easy Funding,Just Giving).These funds are used to provide kennelling,vetereniary
treatment,regular walking and general care of our dogs.
Achievements and performance
We have taken 16 dogs into our care and have rehomed 11. We have several dogs in our care long term as they are unsuitable for rehoming due to behavioural issues.Before rehoming our dogs go through a period of assessment and prospective owners are met by kennel staff to discuss any potential problems.A home check is undertaken also.We are very responsive to any difficulties encountered after rehoming and if necessary financial assistance is given for veterinary treatment or behavioural support by dog trainers/behaviourists/dog classes.One of our volunteers is a qualified dog trainer and will provide an assessment.We accept dogs back into our care if this is requested .
Financial Review
We are in a healthy financial position and have sufficient capital for any larger projects which may need to be undertaken.We have a treasurer.
Management
We hold meetings every three monthsand an annual AGM ( see minutes below).Our finances are independently audited and our bank accounts require two signatories for transactions.

Kennel Report
In total 16 dogs have been taken in via private arrangements and through the dog wardens.
11 dogs have been rehomed with continued support from us.
Including our 2 elderly terriers who are doing really well in their new home. As agreed their veterinary treatment is being funded by the charity due to their age.
We’ve devoted extra time with our dogs that have proved harder to rehome. Working through social and behavioral problems to help them gain new homes.
We’ve also worked with families needing general advice, support and help with vet costs.
Shop Report
Building up business after legal requirements to close during lockdowns did create struggles at times. Staff absences from covid was a weekly problem during the early months. Sadly the shop also had an added problem regarding customer parking. The public car park outside the shop became out of use due to the local council using it as a home improvements base. Despite the obstacles and challenges, the customers, donations and volunteer support was amazing and made us really understand how strong the shop team is and how hard everyone works.
During the year the shop has taken on 4 new volunteers. Sadly some of our elderly members decided not to return after the lockdowns due to the understandable worry of covid. We ended this year with 8 shop volunteers working regular weekly shifts. The fire safety checks were carried out as required and we kept health and safety provisions heightened to help limit cases of covid,
All in all the year ended very positively with some wonderful feedback and a strong feeling of thanks for what we offer to the local community.
Treasury report
We end this year's tax period with a total of £374,941 which is very rewarding all round. Bank accounts are all running smoothly and the financial year has brought the charity very little issues or concerns.
Committee Summary.
All are pleased with how the year has ended. Many dogs have been supported and received necessary treatment. A thoughtful service has been delivered that has not just aided the dogs in our care but also families that have struggled with vet fees and general help with their dogs. We have placed dog’s in wonderful new homes and supported others through very trying times.
