To provide and maintain foster and adoption homes for the care of such dogs. To promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection,treatment,and security for animals by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage. To educate the public in such matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering to animals. We take unwanted and abandoned dogs from the local stray pound and local homes and find new homes. The dogs are initially assessed before being placed in suitable foster **Summary of the objects of the** homes. They receive a vet health assessment, vaccinations, neutering **charity set out in its governing** microchipping and any other necessary treatment including grooming and **document** training. In addition, we offer full backup and support to the families for the dog’s life. We offer advice for all dog owners. We offer support for all dog owners including a food bank, dog walking and transport. We offer short term foster care for all the owners who need respite for health issues or are temporarily unable to care for their pets and they have no other assistance from family and friends. We work with other agencies in our area, such as the dog warden, veterinary surgeries, the Police and Social Services to ensure the welfare of dogs in our area Our volunteers are essential to the running of the rescue. They provide the following: - foster homes - carry out home checks - transport dogs to vet and grooming appointments - exercise and assist with training and behavioural problems - raise much needed funds so that we may continue to provide vet treatment, neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, behavioural therapy, physiotherapy and kennelling. - carry out administrative tasks to maintain our records - maintain our website and app **Summary of the main activities** - maintain our social media presence across several platforms e.g. **undertaken for the public** Instagram, Twitter & Facebook **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)** **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 3 March **2012** **TAR** 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 March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** During the year to 30th April 2021 93 dogs entered ADIN Including:- - 16 Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Staffy Crosses 29 Crossbreeds 2 Sighthounds 46 Cocker Spaniel, American Bulldog, Lhasa Apso, English Bull Terrier, Alaskan Malamute, Yorkshire Terriers, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, Patterdales, Jack Russells, German Shepherd, Labrador, Border Terriers, Boston Terrier, Rottweiler, Bassett Hound, English Bulldog, Dachshund, Maltese, Shar Pei, Lakeland Terrier, Cane Corso, Mastiffs 2 Dogs returned to the rescue that had been adopted in previous years either due to ill health of the owners, death of the owners or a change in circumstances. - 12 Dogs transferred to our Long Term Foster program 14 Dogs available at YE 30.4.21 ## Long Term Fosters - 20 B/fwd 13 Transferred in (including one dog that was returned and was not well enough to be offered for adoption) - (11) Died 22 C/fwd - An example of our work: 1. For several months we provided food assistance to a couple in the local area with a large dog. This dog was being kept in the front room of a small terraced house without any exercise or stimulation. The room was his kennel, covered in faeces and urine. The door frames, skirting and window sill were chewed from boredom and frustration. Eventually, the couple finally agreed to sign the dog over to us. Due to the dog’s lack of socialisation and training he went straight to a behaviourist’s rehabilitation kennels to ensure he had the best start towards finding his new family and home. 2. In the summer of 2020 we were asked to take in a dog that belonged to their son who had been rushed into hospital and was extremely ill and not expected to survive. We attended to find an elderly, bedraggled lurcher on the end of a chain with access to a hut for shelter. We successfully placed him in a long term foster home in a holiday park where he enjoys the fuss from all the staff and visitors to the park. 3. We were contacted by another rescue who had been made aware of a young labrador puppy that was the last in a litter. The pup had trouble walking, possibly from a spinal deformity, and was going to be euthanised - despite the pup not appearing to be in any pain. We found a foster family who were fantastic in taking this pup to countless veterinary hydrotherapy and physiotherapy appointments. The family put so much time and love into the care of the young pup that they have now adopted her - but we will continue to cover all costs in relation to her physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, which she will need for the rest of her life. 4. We were contacted to rehome two Alaskan Malamutes following a relationship breakdown. What was discovered was 5 March **2012** **TAR** Section D Achievements and performance heartbreaking. The two dogs lived outside. They had never been walked. The dogs received no human interaction as they were no longer able to produce puppies. They were fed slops from a bucket that was lowered down into the garden from a balcony. A vet was requested to attend and it was determined that the male dog be euthanised as he was in such bad health. He was blind and could not walk - only drag himself around. The female dog was underweight but other than that she was relatively healthy. She was placed in a foster home and has now been adopted. 6 March **2012** **TAR** Section D Achievements and performance 7 March **2012** **TAR** **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** All monies coming into the rescue are prioritised for the major expense of veterinary bills. We aim to keep a cushion of between £4,000 to £6,000. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; Our only source of funding are fundraising activities and a nominal adoption fee for the dogs. We run a weekly Facebook auction which raises between £300 - £400 per week. A significant increase on previous years - due to a surge in followers during COVID. We would normally attend various galas throughout the Summer months. Due to COVID 19 restrictions this has not been severely restricted. This funding is prioritised for kennelling, collars, leads, tags, beds and harnessed. - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** Along with the majority of dog rescues throughout the United Kingdom, we anticipated there would be a fallout from the surge of ‘lockdown puppies’ being surrendered to rescues once COVID restrictions were lifted. The added complication being that the majority of dogs acquired during lockdown now suffered from various behavioural issues ranging from separation anxiety, lack of socialisation and training. We were very fortunate to be awarded two grants towards the end of the year that were specifically for behavioural training and assistance. The grants were from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and Support Adoption for Pets. ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** Nicola J.
