Section C Objectives and activities

To rescue, rehabilitate and rehome local animals

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

TAR

March 2012

Dogs that need rehoming for a variety of reason come to our notice and are offered a safe space with the rescue.

In the main part these dogs are placed in foster homes for assessment which is our preference. We have continued to have to rely on kennel spaces due to a shortage of foster homes which has significant financial implications.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

All dogs that come into our care continue to receive vet care - as a minimum a vet check, vaccinations, flea, worm and neuter. All dogs are chipped to the rescues details. If a dog requires further medical intervention such as treatment for infection, irritation, dental work or anything else then they will receive it. We have continued to take in high numbers of dogs with significant health issues in the last year due to a range of reasons including owners struggling financially and also indiscriminate breeding practises.

Once assessed in foster care our dogs are placed in suitable homes. The homecheck process has been a challenge due to poor uptake from volunteers however we are currently undergoing a recruitment drive and attempting to build a new, stronger team.

We continue to work in our local community offering support including – Training Dog food Food banks Clothing (from our shop) Therapy sessions School talks and visits

EOL fosters or supported adoptions for elderly owners

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

Our finances started the year strong but the increases in vets bills and kennels bills have made an impact and we have had to really work hard at fund raising, grant applications etc.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance

In this year we have successfully rescued and rehomed 130 dogs Summary of the main achievements of the charity We have carried out 8 school visits and 8 visits to local care homes. during the year Our training school has continued to do well.

For our own dogs we are providing training input for dogs before placing them in homes and afterwards . We have continued to help those struggling to feed their dogs with food donations and supplied dog food for all local food banks. Our elderly dog programme has seen us placing several more dogs in this programme this year.

We continue to offer full back up for all the dogs we rehome.

Our new website has made things much more manageable and streamlined for us and the public.
