Our fundraising
activities and donations
from supporters
(see next sections} have enabled
us to carry out our
purposes
for the public
benefit,
in particular,
the
activities, projects or
services identified
in the
main objectives ie. to rescue as many unwanted,
mistreated
and abandoned
dogs as possible,
give them
veterinary
treatment
where necessary,
microchip to
prevent
future strays, neuter and find them new forever
accounts. homes.
We have continued
to offer to take in animals
via the dog
pounds
and from members
of the public who could no
longer care for their pets. This year we have also taken
on a number ofex-racing Greyhounds
due for retirement
from their trainers/owners.
Our policy remains to take as
many dogs as possible from risk of being put to sleep as
we believe they deserve a chance of life. They were
given a full vet check, vaccinated,
scanned for
microchips
and ifappropriate,
given necessary
medical
treatment.
All were either neutered
or we provided a free
neutering
voucher. They were also cared for in kennels
or by one ofour fosterers
until suitable homes could be
found. Before rehoming,
potential
owners were usually
subject to a home check to ensure premises were
suitable
and that gardens were properly fenced and
gated, however,
we have had to work round this during
the Covid-19 pandemic
and in most instances
vet
reference checks were undertaken
instead to ensure
dogs were being rehomed
to responsible
owners and we
have also made use ofGoogle Earth to check on
premises. We have met with potential
new adopters
outdoors
adhering
to Covid-19 guidelines
and social
distancing
rules. Individuals
were made aware ofthe
commitment
needed to care for the lifetime ofa dog and
assurances
sought that dogs wouldn't
be allowed to
stray, that they wouldn't
be left for extended
periods
without
companionship,
that booster vaccinations
would
be administered
and that proper diet and exercise would
be given.

The start of2020I21 looked like a financial challenge
for us. All our fundraising
venues were closed due to
The charity's
principal
sources offunds (including
Para 1.47 the Coronavirus
pandemic so we were initially
very
concerned. We charge an adoption fee for our dogs but
any fundraising) taking account ofvet and kennel costs etc, this is
heavily subsidised.
By taking
in retired Greyhounds
we
were able to get some financial
help from the owners
which went towards some ofthe costs of rehoming.
The Greyhound
Board ofGreat Britain have also
provided
backing via the Greyhound
Retirement
Scheme which is very much appreciated.
Staff at Wilkinson's
store in Wombwell
have arranged
collections ofpet food, treats and knitted blankets
on
our behalf.
The donations
have been put to very good
use for our dogs and we extend sincere thanks to all
the staff and customers
for their support.
Thanks also
go to Greenside
Podiatry 8 New Lodge Post Office for
filling collection boxes on a regular basis.
We also received donations
from our Trustees and
regular contributions
from numerous
individuals.
Our
grateful
thanks go to them. A very special mention goes
to our regular dog walker Jamie Baxter who did a
sponsored
run and raised f.1066 in total, split equally
between
BADAW and Good Life Dog Rescue.
We received substantial
donations
during the year from
Pets at Home "Support Adoption
for Pets" charity and
would
like to thank
all the staff for their continued
support
and generosity.
They were there just when we
needed them at the start ofthe pandemic
and also
donated
monies raised during the Summer fundraising
drive and Santa Paws fundraiser
(Give a pet a
Christmas
dinner) at our partnered
stores in Rotherham
and Cortonwood.
They also gave all partnered
charities
a lovely surprise
bonus for Valentines
Day.
Finally, we reported
last year that we lost a friend and
supporter
Peter Beard. It came as a very big surprise
that he had left a legacy in his will for BADAW and to
look after his dog Teena who is now much loved and
cared for in a permanent
foster home. This bequest
together
with the other help we received over the year
more than compensated
for the lack offundraising
opportunities
and left us in a healthy
financial
position
going forward.
