Anex We were contacted by someone who had been involved in the criminal prosecution of an individual who had been running a 'rescue'. There were several older dogs that were still in kennels having been signed over by the 'rescuef' despite the court case still not being held al the lime. We appealed for foslerers and were successf¢Jl In securing 3 long term homes. Sadly, two of ihe dogs were only in their foster home5 for a few short months bul they experienced comfort and love for Ihal short lime. The third dog is still IhTiving and has officially been adopted by his foslerer. We were asked to rehome a French Bulldog cros5 Ihal was nol coping with children in the home. 11 was very evident, very quickly Ihal Ihi5 dog was extremely badly bred and was in need of si9nificanl veterinary inlervenlion. On the vets advice he was urgenlly booked in for BOAS (Brachycephalic Obslruclive Ain+vay Syndrome) surgery. Unfortunately, he delerioraled under general anaesihelic and the vets slated that he was so [llY that he was unlikely to survive th& recovery so Ihe sad decish)n was made lo let him go. We were contacted by another local organisation, Busters SOS. that help lo locale and reunile lost and stolen dogs. They had caught a bedraggled. starving dog whose video had been all ovei social media dumped in the middle of nowhere and running scared. Busters aske¢J us for help Tehoming him. He garnered a lol of interest and he now finds himself living in the moors with his Foving new owners. We were conlacled by a local dog walkei who asked Il we may be able lo help find a home for a large breed dog that had spenl her entire life outside on a thain. The dog walker would lake her out for some sort of lile bul was Increasingly concemed for her due to her age and her now being blind. We found the mosi amazin9 family who took her Into their homes and she lived oul her final nine months in comfort and received TO riale medication for her arthritis. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves All monies corning inlo the rescue are priorilised for the major expense of velerinary bills.

Further financlal review details {Optional infomiation} Our only source of funding are fundraising activities and a nominal adoption fee for Ihe dogs. We run a weekly Facebook aucts.on which raises between £400 - £600 per week. You may choose lo include additional information. where relevanl aboul.. the charity's principal sources of funds {including any fundraising)., how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity.. investment policy and objectives including any ethical inveslmenl policy adopted. Section F Other optional information Vve weie asked lo rehome 579 dogs in 2024-25. of which 245 were oul of our area. This has dropped by 15.3 /0 on Ihe previous year. We neuleredlspayed 44 dogs in 2024-25. Due lo the ever increasing number of dogs entering the rescue wilh behavioural Issues we made the very difficult decision to start lo turn away the harder to rehome dogs Ihal we lelt we did nol have the capacity lo assisl due lo lack of resources e.g. funds. losler homes. We would agree lo lake on another 'slicky' dog once one had moved one on. 11 was a decision not taken lightly, bul due lo Ihe onslaught of requests for these types of dogs and the impact on our leam's menlal wellbeing, il was one we feli we needed lo be make lo ensure Ihat we coukl continue lo lunclion effectiv&ly. The anlicipaled trend following the XL bully ban has very much been evident. People have gravilaled lo ollier large breed dogs. Subsequently, the number of larger breed dogs we have been requested lo rehome has increased. An unease amongst owner5 Suggesls Ihal they feel unable lo Irusl their dogs, yel unwanled behaviour generally slems from a combination ol a lack of training and s(Kialisalion al a young age. We h8ve seen an increase in the number of dog ownfrrs coming lo us having previously sought behavioural and training assistance from other sources. Some of the methods have involved brule force, intimidation and prong and electric collars. Any dog taken on by ourselves following such 'iraining methods has involved a lol of behavioural work, at a Snificant cost to us, lo rebuild trust and manage expeclalions. The number of adoptive homes prepared to pul in the extra work required is dwindling. We have also noticed an increased Irend lor the new 'designer' dogs. Previously. blue dogs have been the musl have. We are now seeing merle dogs mole and more. A lol of Ihese dogs. as the blue dogs do. lend to come with associated health issues such as skin. ears and dietsry problems. Certain bree¢Js coming to us such as French Bulldogs, have also increased in number over the last Couple of years that have required Sl9nificanl veterinary Irealmenl. We believe thi5 has arisen due lo a number of factors.. indiscriminate breeding, owner's lack of funds, ignorance of breed trails and in some cases - a lack of compassion. This has been a significant drain on our resources as ihe only way we could encourage adoptions of such dogs was by our continued financial support for veterinary Ireatmenls. This is something we are having lo address as we move into the nexl financial year. TAR March 2012
