In course of the year, the charity has continued its activity in contacting persons and shelters seeking to rehome Border Collies who may be in distressful situations due to unsuitable accommodation, changed family circumstances, illness or death.
Particular energy is directed to monitoring ‘Free to good home’ adverts and warning the advertisers of the risks and dangers to the dogs of inappropriate or uncontrolled rehoming. Wherever possible, we offer to ensure that said dog is fostered, assessed and rehomed into suitable, checked safe homes.
During the course of this reporting period, the charity has continued to take in a number of dogs from homes that were no longer able to care for them appropriately and from shelters and has arranged their fostering and assessment for suitability for placement in new homes.
In support of these activities, the charity has arranged for the home checking of potential fosters or adopters and the transportation of dogs throughout the mainland UK to new homes. Many of these functions were undertaken by the charities own volunteers
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public 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)**
Arrangements were made for all dogs handled through the charity to be veterinary checked, treated, neutered, wormed, micro chipped and vaccinated as needed.
Welfare advise and reference to behavioural advice has been offered on numerous occasions to other Border Collie owners who were experiencing problems with their dogs.

Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity** In the last year we have been able to work alongside other groups and **during the year** charitable organisations that look after the welfare of people who have been coming to terms with personal stress or illness and we have encouraged them to come and see the dogs and livestock as part of their rehabilitation and personal growth. We have invested in better fencing and drainage to increase the areas that we can graze stock to keep the grass down which in turn gives us much larger areas to exercise the dogs. We have built a round pen to give us a safe and secure area to exercise the dogs.
We have bought extra kennels to enable us to care for a greater number of rescue dogs as well as litters of puppies that have been dumped on to the market in recent months. We have attended regular open days at a leading national pet store to raise awareness of our organisation and what we do. It has been very successful and has led to several positive enquiries. Our aim is to continue and increase these activities.
