K9 Rescue is a UK registered charity founded to help abandoned dogs in need. What began as a grassroots community project of dedicated volunteers helping street dogs in Bulgaria in 2006 has since evolved into a global mission to protect and care for vulnerable animals in some of the world’s most challenging environments. From frontline feeding programs in war-torn Ukraine to sustainable shelter initiatives in Macedonia, our work spans borders to provide lifesaving aid, medical care, and long-term solutions for stray and abandoned dogs. Through sterilization programs, rescue efforts, and advocacy, we strive to break the cycle of suffering and create a future where every dog is safe, valued, and free from harm.

K9 RESCUE Trustees, Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Ststements for the year ended 30 April 2024 Ip.
For some rescued street dogs, the journey to a new life doesn’t end with adoption. Many dogs who have experienced severe neglect, abuse, or hardship struggle to adapt to the expectations of domestic life in the UK. When their new families are unable to meet their complex needs, these dogs are often at risk of being rehomed again - or worse, abandoned. With over 19 years of experience working with abused dogs, we provide a calm and structured environment where these animals can decompress, rebuild trust, and recover at their own pace. Our focus is on long-term rehabilitation, ensuring that every dog in our care has the best chance at finding stability, security, and ultimately, a place to belong.
Calm and Structured Rehabilitation Environment
-
Focus on foreign dogs adopted into the UK who struggle to settle due to traumatic past histories.
-
Many of these dogs, often victims of abuse or neglect , find it difficult to cope with everyday experiences, leading to challenges in their new homes.
-
Experienced team with 19+ years of working with abused dogs, offering calm and serene environments to help these dogs decompress at their own pace.
-
Provide a safe space for recovery , where dogs can heal without the pressures of a demanding environment.
-
Commitment to long-term care , as it may take years for these dogs to reintegrate into society, with the goal of helping them find suitable homes when they are ready.
-
14 -
As part of our long-term vision for sustainable rescue and rehabilitation, we are developing Macedonia Freedom Shelter - an innovative, first-of-its-kind facility designed to set a new standard for animal welfare in the region and beyond. Located near Skopje, this eco-friendly, bio-secure sanctuary will provide a safe, stress-free environment for rescued animals to heal, recover from trauma, and prepare for new lives.
Our plans for a Freedom Shelter in Macedonia include:
-
A small veterinary clinic with a recovery room to provide essential medical care on-site.
-
An octagonal housing design to minimize stress barking and create a calm, structured environment for the dogs.
-
15 -
-
Kennel-free accommodation , with each pod housing 4-6 dogs, recognizing that dogs are social pack animals and should not live in isolation.
-
A spacious, lounge-style cattery, allowing multiple cats to live together as a family, promoting natural social interactions.
-
Living accommodations for a full-time site manager to ensure round-the-clock care and security.
-
A bio-secure environment and quarantine area , protecting both resident animals and new arrivals from the spread of disease.
-
Sustainable, eco-friendly infrastructure , prioritizing energy efficiency and environmental harmony.
-
A blueprint for the future - our shelter’s design will serve as a replicable model, providing a template for other shelters looking to create humane, sustainable, and effective rescue facilities.
This shelter will be a game-changer for abandoned and vulnerable animals in the region, giving them the best chance at a better future.
- 16 -
Macedonia Freedom Shelter will redefine how shelters operate and set a new gold standard in animal welfare. With the support of our sponsors and partners, we can bring this vision to life and create a lasting impact for generations to come .

K9 RESCUE Trustees, Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Ststements for the year ended 30 April 2024 i!1111111
Through sound financial management and the dedication of our volunteers and supporters , we have successfully navigated another challenging year, ensuring stability despite ongoing economic pressures. Careful budgeting and strategic resource allocation have allowed us to maintain a strong financial position , enabling us to continue delivering vital aid and support to animals in need.
Funding and expenses
K9 Rescue achieves income through a variety of sources. Individual donations, including one-off gifts and monthly contributions from members of the public, form the backbone of our funding. We secure grants from charitable trusts and foundations for specific projects – until now, predominantly for running costs such as food and veterinary bills.
More recently we have received grants from crypto blockchain projects for specific appeals such as humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Additionally, we run targeted fundraising campaigns, collaborate with corporate sponsors and compassionate businesses, and generate a small income through branded merchandise sales. Seasonal appeals and special events further help sustain our work.
While the trustees aim to increase the charity’s general funds, they recognize the financial challenges that have affected the charitable sector in recent years. Despite this, they are pleased with the funds raised to sustain our work and remain committed to strengthening the charity’s financial position for the future.
- 19 -
K9 Rescue’s total income for the financial year ending April 2024 was £43,151 . To meet our operational needs, additional spending was covered using reserves from the previous year.
As a volunteer-run charity , we do not pay any salaries, ensuring that the maximum possible funding goes directly to our mission.
All funds were allocated as follows:
-
£41,577 (85%) was spent directly on projects, providing lifesaving aid and support to animals in need.
-
£7,317 (15%) was allocated to essential administrative costs, including bank and payment processing fees, exchange fees, insurance, accountancy, website maintenance, and fundraising.
The trustees remain committed to maximizing direct project funding while maintaining the necessary infrastructure to support the charity’s long-term sustainability.
- 20 -
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity to commit as much funding as possible to its primary objectives while ensuring financial stability and maintaining the flexibility to respond to new opportunities. The trustees are working towards a target of holding reserves equivalent to three months’ expenditure, recognizing this as a crucial safeguard for the charity’s continued operations.
While this target has not yet been fully reached, the trustees are confident that the charity is moving into a stronger financial position, allowing for greater sustainability and resilience in the years ahead.
Investment Policy
The trustees at this time have no plans for an investment policy to be put into place as K9 Rescue do not hold funds for investment purposes.
Public Benefit
K9 Rescue exists to ensure that abandoned and vulnerable dogs receive the care they need and the chance to live safe, happy lives. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and community support, we work to reduce suffering, improve welfare standards, and promote responsible pet ownership.
While our charitable activities are focused on animal welfare , we believe our work also provides public benefit in the following ways:
-
Community Well-being – Supporting local communities by reducing the number of stray dogs, minimizing the risks associated with uncontrolled populations, and promoting harmonious human-animal interactions.
-
Crisis Response & Humanitarian Aid – Providing vital aid to people and their animals in conflict zones and disaster-stricken areas, ensuring their safety and well-being.
-
21 -
-
Education & Awareness – Promoting responsible pet ownership, ethical rescue practices, and humane treatment of animals through outreach and advocacy.
-
Mental Health & Companionship – Helping dogs find stable, loving homes where they provide emotional support and companionship, improving the mental well-being of adopters.
-
Sterilization & Disease Prevention – Reducing the spread of diseases through spay/neuter programs and medical aid, benefiting both animal and public health.
-
Supporting Grassroots Rescues & Volunteers – Assisting small, volunteer-led rescues with advice, fundraising, website development, and social media support, helping them build capacity and continue their lifesaving work.
-
Encouraging & Supporting Volunteers – Rescue work can be emotionally and physically exhausting, but no one should feel alone in their mission to help animals. We provide guidance, mentorship, and a sense of community for volunteers working in challenging conditions, ensuring they have the support they need to continue their vital work.
K9 Rescue is committed to creating lasting change for both animals and the communities they live in, ensuring a future where no dog is left behind.
