Section D Achievements and performance TAR March 2012 Section D Achievements and performance Vizsla Rescue had requests for rehoming of over 249 dogs during this year, of these 79 were rehomed. We also successfully gave guidance to resolve issues and 130 dogs stayed in their homes. Despite our best efforts we were unable to contact 40 owners who had asked for our assistance. Sadly bve are being approached by owners of more serious aggressive dogs. which we are struggling in being able to offer our rehoming services due to their complexities, we then try to give further advi￿ and guidance. We were contacted by 561 people inquiring about adopting a Vizsla and 249 people who were considering rehomin9 their Vizsla. At the year end there were still 9 dogs in our care and 37 dogs in the pro￿8$. We had 33.9k unique visitors for the year on our website with 37k sessions, this is down by around 1.7% on the previous year. 22% of the users were retuming vistiors. Fa￿book continues to be active and used as our Ou￿ard-boUnd communication. We currentty have 476 volunteers on our volunteer map. We are still seeing dogs coming through that were purchased during lockdown - these dogs seem to have anxiety and separation anxiety. We are increasingly being asked for help from Breeders who are struggling to sell their pups. We have spent much more on vets fees- this is due to some expensive surgeries and helping families who are struggling financially wilh expensive vel bills but are still able to give their Vizsla a good life. We are also having to reach our lo experts to help new owners settle dogs with issues into their homes. Fund raising via the online shop was slightly up on the previous year bLrt continues to be a good source of income. We have a few more volunteers who are helping us with the running of the charrty i.e. phoning prospective adopters and contacting people on the volunteer list to ensure we keep up to date. We still maintain our relationship with the Trustees of Hungarian Vizsla Welfare via our WhatsApp group. Currently we wam about ti&e wasters and feach out rf erther is needing a speafic lype of home. TAR March 2012 Section E Financial review The Chanty Trustee's continually monitor cash reserves to ensure our financial stability in the event of a large outlay for unexpected vet fees or infrastructure projects. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit The Charty has no outstanding financial obligations nor outstanding debts. Further financial review details {Optional inforniation) As demonstrated in our financial accounts, the Charity's principle sour of funds comes from fund raising activities and donations. The Vizsla cofflmunity continues to 5UPPOrt the charity through fund raising at'viz Whizzes" bLrt these are reducing rapidly. Our main Sour￿ of income is from donations. some from new owners of dogs but also from regular donors to our bank and paypal accounts. Another good source of income is via our online shop which now has an option to add a donation. Members ofvizsla Rescue attended a number of canine event5, for example Crufts and Discover Dogs, to raise wider awareness of the breed and the work that Vizsla Rescue does for the community. The vast majority of the Charity's expenditure is associated with the wellbeing of the dogs in our care. Veterinary care is our largest expense along with food, medicines and behaviourists. As a pnnuple methodology, the Charity avoids paying kennel fees wherever possible and uses rt's ovm facilities or Ihose of foster families. This saves £1000's and allows for funds to be utilised on activities that benefrt the eneral ublic and the do s that are cared for.
