We take approximately 50 dogs per year and find loving homes or Summary of the main additional rescue spaces for achievements of the charity We cover all vets, kennels, transport cost from donations from the during the year general public. Again we have seen an increase in sign over dogs due to change in circumstances and behavioural issues from the general public and a reduction in stray dogs coming in via council facilities. We have successfully rehomed approx. 65 dogs and provided rescue back up for the rest of their lives. We have provided extensive medical treatment for particular dogs and successfully gone on to rehome them We have a group of regular walkers who help to exercise and assess our kennel dogs, they provide detailed feedback from their outings and photos which really help in finding the perfect home
