are higher than previous years but adoption
applications have reduced. This is subject to
overbreeding and the cost of living crisis.
Our veterinary expenditure has again been
high as we support some of our adopted
dogs as well as dogs on lifetime foster.
The Trust continues to offer to cover the cost
of spaying and neutering of all adopted
Akitas. Originally introduced in 2018, this
continues to be successful.
The Trust has continuously increased the
membership rate on social media.
