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.

but we

principal
sources offunds
(including		 Para 1.47 managed
to do one gala and attend another 4venues
in the Autumn
of2021 and we are hopeful that
any fundraising) opportunities
to raise funds
will continue
into 2022 and
beyond. We charge an adoption fee for our dogs but
taking account ofvei and kennel costs etc, this is
heavily subsidised.
Kennel costs increased
slightly
this
year and vet fees have gone up substantially
so our
adoption fees will have to be reviewed at the start of
the next financial year and we will continue to match
intake ofdogs with income to live within our means. 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 of pet 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.
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 when we
needed them throughout
the pandemic
and also
donated
monies raised during the Summer fundraising
drive, Santa Paws fundraiser
(Give a pet a Christmas
dinner) and Valentines

week at our
partnered
stores in Rotherham
