Our fundraising
campaign
2020 —Murphy's
Army Purple Poppy Campaign —benefited
K9 Heroes who help to rehabilitate
serving
service dogs. As a direct result ofour
donation
they were immediately
able to oifer
treatment
to 2 animais who had been on the
waiting
list. They continue to offer physio
and hydro therapy for dogs injured
in the line
of duty —most notably RPD Finn.
The donation
will continue to be used during
2021 and will aid many more animals
in
need ofsome form ofphysio or hydro
therapy
following
illness or injury.
With the onset ofCOVID-19 in March
Murphy's
Army had to rethink some of it's
tactics in relation to lost or stolen animals.
We usually
help coordinate searches and
produce postei s for distdbution,
however
with the lockdown
and then tiering system
we had to be very careful
in what we
publicised. We had to remind people that
traveliing
Iong distances to assist in
searches was not classed as essential
(
however
difficult and emotive
it may be ) and
as a result we did see a significant decrease
in the number of dogs lost or stolen in the
early part of2020.
Sadly that did increase when lockdown was
eased, and we did al'I we could to assist
individuais
and other organisstions
in
publicising
the animals
concerned.
Throughout
the year the charity receives
grant requests
from individuals
to assist in
the care of their pets. These individuals
may
not be able to pay the entire vet bill due to
circumstances
outside of their control, and
the

the ovmers this alieviates some ofthe stress
associated with such treatment
at what is
usually a very upsetting
time. However, 2020
accounts show that we didn't receive many
direct applications
from individuals.
Murphy's
Army did become proactive and as well as
supporting
Many Tears with a monthly
donation,
we also made grants at several
times throughout
the year to small rescues
who we knew would be struggling
to raise
funds due to the cancellation
of all public
events.

registered rescues across the country.
