To rescue, rehabilitate and rehome local animals

Dogs that need rehoming for a variety of reason come to our notice and are offered a safe space with the rescue. Due to the huge numbers of dogs hitting our local stray pounds they have been our priority for the last year. 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. 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 has been a challenge due to low numbers of people wanting dogs now. In addition many of the dogs we have helped can be challenging and difficult to find the right sort of experienced homes. 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

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

• policy on grantmaking;

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 – this is the same as last year.

Our team of volunteers has strengthened again after the lockdown dip so we feel better supported.

• policy programme related investment;

• contribution made by volunteers.
