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. | ||||
