Trustees, Report- Finding Furever Homes Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 October 2021 Trustees: Andrea Newton. Llnda Gou8h and Sandle Dutton. Ob'ectives and Aims The Trust's objective and aims remain:_ to promote humane behaviour towards dogs, by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and securlty for dogs which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment or poor circumstances, and to educate the public in matters pertaining to anim31 welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering amongst dogs. Achievement and erformance Our accounts for the year ended 31 October 2021 have again been prepared by a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants, from the books and records maintained throughout the year. The accounts show income for the year of £32,928 the majority of which came from appeals and donations.Sadly the Coronavirus, lockdown and other such issues has continued to cause a massive set back for all this year and we have been unable to attend public shows and events in the way we would have liked. We spent £29,408 in the year, of which £22,720 was Spent directly supporting rescues with the cost of food, vet bills, bedding, coats and fleeces, behaviourist and training costs along with toys and other enrichment items for dogs in kennels. We have again had a range of vet bills that have proved quite costly, and particular cases such as the litter of puppies found with Parvo, was an especially expensive vet bill. Sadly despite our best efforts, 4 of the puppies died but 3 went on to thrive and are now happy in homes. Lockdown has also resulted in people taking on puppies and later abandoning them which has meant that places in rescue kennels have been very limited. This has meant we have had to increase our network of foster homes and support people to have dogs in their homes in order to keep them safe. This is much harder work than using a reElStered kennel and so has taken a lot of our time vetting and checking and then supporting families with their charge. We are still very much committed to helping any dog, regardless of age, breed or issue if we think there is a possibility of a positive outcome and continue to use a variety of professionals to support us in that work this year including a professional behaviourist (Caroline Lewis) and physiotherapy and hydrotherapy services IRawPhysio) as well as paying vet bills for dogs who were in need. We are also giving direct 5UPPOrt to small rescues such as Team Paw, Skylor's, Bruno's and others, with the advertising, rehoming, home checking, funding and giving practical help and support with advice for difficult situations when called for. Most are mixed breed rescues,

which takes dogs from a variety of backgrounds, including from local council pounds. crueltv cases, dogs whose owners have passed away and dogs who are signed over by owners who can no longer care for them, as well as an on80ing arrangement for ex racing greyhounds who are no longer wanted. The majority of dogs tend to be bull breeds and hounds- we still have an over breeding crisis in the UK and irresponsible owners. sadly. As mentioned, we have not been able to attend any shows, so any fundraising has been done online, selling donated items on a fun auction site, or simply asking for donations when we have needed to help dogs like the Parvo Pup5 and we are always grateful to our supporters for their generositv. We continue to be entirely self-funded and have again worked very hard with a Small team to raise the funds needed to support the projects that we have committed to and we continue to support Chica, who is doing well in her foster home. Sadly we lost Frazer to incurable cancer. and we are delighted to stay in touch with dog5 like Rocky and Evie and others as well as helping more dogs find loving homes. We have worked with an organisation called Safe on Sofas and contributed toward5 transport costs. neutering of strays and behavioural support with dogs with complex challenges and all in all are satisfied we are making that difference that we set out to. We have funds kept in reserve for the dogs in Furever Foster to whom we have ongoing commitments as part ofthe contrart with the foster families and we anticipate needing funds to support dogs as once again the economy and cost of living increases are both being heavily impacted. We are trying to ensure that we will always be there as a safety net if any of our dogslfamilies require us during these very testing and difficult times. and are finding that our support is very much in demand right now. We are still continuing to offer support to other, smaller rescues in a non-financial way bv giving them access to our social media networks that we have worked hard to develop and so they can advertise their dogs to a wider audience in this way. We continue to fund a website where we advertise dogs too and also to make appropriate charitable donations to do8s in need of help - in line with our original aims and objectives and assuming Trustees are all in agreement. We have now helped to rehome over 950 dogs so although much less activity, fewer rehomes. we feel we are still making a difference, one dog at a time, and hope to be able to continue to do 50 in the future especially given the current economic climate as people may have to give up their dogs, or cannot afford to take care of them or rescues struggle for funding as supporters cannot afford to donate. The next 6-12 months look to be quite testing for everyone so we must stand strong and see what we can do to help.
