We also have an AGM. Our website has information on the dogs in our care and dogs available for fostering or rehoming. Our dogs are walked by our volunteers on a regular basis and we also have a private garden where the dogs can spend time. Before rehoming a dog we interview the prospective owners and perform a home check to assess suitability. ## Actvites Our objectives are to help dogs in need both by taking them into our kennels and also to respond to urgent requests for assistance with the welfare of dogs who require our help . We do this by having a dedicated phone number. Any messages are collected and responded to as soon as possible within working hours. A newsletter is also produced with stories of our dogs. ## Achievements and performance Over the past year we have had 14 dogs in our care. We have rehomed 8 of these dogs and 6 remain in our care. 3 of the remaining dogs will not be rehomed due to behavioural issues so will remain in our kennels, ## Financial review We have adequate funds in our reserves and receive income from our shop,donations and bequests.
