|||||||We have continued
to offer to take in animals
via the dog
pounds
and from members
ofthe public who could no|
|||||||longer care for their pets. This year we have mainly|
|||||||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 ofbeing put|
|||||||to sleep as we believe they deserve a chance oflife.|
|||||||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. We 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 also made use of|
|||||||Google Earth to check on premises. We have continued|
|||||||to adopt this policy as it has proved to be efficient and|
|||||||successful.
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.|

|||||Our fundraising
venues
finally opened their doors to us|
|||||following the Coronavirus
pandemic
and we managed|
|The charity's
principal
sources offunds (including|||Para 1.47|to do several events although
we were thwarted
by the
very hot weather
in July 2022 resulting
in one ofour|
|any fundraising)||||principal
gala's (including a popular dog show) being|
|||||cancelled.|
|||||We charge an adoption fee for our dogs but taking|
|||||account ofvet and kennel costs etc, this is heavily|
|||||subsidised.
Kennel costs increased
again this year and|
|||||vet fees have gone up substantially.
We are reluctant to|
|||||put people off adopting
by increasing
our adoption fees|
|||||but we will continue to keep this under close review|
|||||going into 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 ofrehoming.
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. Aspecial mention goes to|
|||||Mark (supported
by Tania) who did a sponsored
ultra|
|||||marathon
last May, raising around f900for us.|
|||||We received substantial
donations
during the year from|
|||||the Pets at Home Foundation
and would
like to thank|
|||||all the staff for their continued
support and generosity.|
|||||They donated
monies raised during the Santa Paws|
|||||fundraiser
(Give a pet a Christmas
dinner) at our|
|||||partnered
stores in Rotherham
and Cortonwood.
We|
|||||have also partnered
with the Barnsley store in 2023|
|||||and look forward to jointly fundraising
with them.|
