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

| March **2012** **TAR** 3 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. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** In this year we have successfully rescued and rehomed 125 dogs We have carried out school visits and visits to local care homes. . 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.
