## **LABRADOR LIFELINE TRUST** Tel: 01256 884027 e.mail: info@labradorlifeline.com www.labrador-lifeline.com Office: 6 Tottenham Close Bramley Tadley Hampshire RG26 5NW ## ANNUAL REPORT 2020 The Trust have had an eventful year since the advent of the pandemic early in 2020. The demand for Labradors reached unprecedented heights and the few dogs we had remaining in kennels awaiting new homes were rehomed quickly. Since March and lockdown commenced the Trust had to rethink its complete modus operandi as it could no longer work visiting homes and assessing dogs. It was agreed that we would continue to take in dogs under strict guidelines and for welfare issues. In order to safeguard everyone and to stay within the regulations, dogs needing to be placed into rescue had to be taken directly to the kennels by the owner and relinquished. We have rehomed four dogs in the southern area by obtaining home vetting and by interviewing prospective adopters remotely. The Lincolnshire/Nottinghamshire Area have managed to rehome nine dogs using this method. Notable cases during this time were three dogs with behavioural problems. A young ten month old Labrador was signed over with serious aggression issues. Investigation proved that the dog was being trained as a guard dog and was due to be shipped out to Moscow but the pandemic regulations and Brexit meant that the dog could not be exported. He was housed at the LLT kennels in Fareham (Lone Valley) whilst attempts were made to re-train him. We were fortunate that Malinois rescue in Norfolk had a vacancy and specialist staff to deal with this type of dog were on hand. He has now been there for a month and reports are favourable. Another young dog was signed over to us having been reported for apparently biting a child. He had been living with a child with ADHT and sadly his owner was unable to cope with a young puppy and the child. There was no proof that this dog had bitten and we err on the side that it was a freak accident. We assessed the dog over 3 months with no apparent problems and he has now been successfully rehomed. No further Police action was taken. A third dog was rescued by a third party at 9 months of age having been a victim of Internet selling. Many people acquired puppies and realised that their value were reaching an all time high. This little dog had been resold four times, each time attracting a higher premium. He has now been rehomed very successfully and is leading a happy life and working on his training. Sadly, Covid 19 has brought out the worst and Labradors are high on the list of dog theft, being stolen to order in many cases. Puppies have reached an all time high fetching over £3k which is unprecedented and beyond the reach of many genuine people. We have found that dogs are not being placed into rescue but are being sold on the Internet, one such advert being a 10 year old Labrador advertised at £500. Everyone involved in Rescue is extremely worried as to what will happen at the end of this current crisis and we are gearing up for a mountain of unwanted, untrained, unsocialised dogs which will be difficult to rehome. We are trying to build up our resources to cope with this. This has been one of the quietest years on record for the Trust, apart from applications for dogs which reached over 2,000.
