REVIEW OFTHE YEAR
F¥202312024 has seen no dTrmini5hmert in the num1￿ of dogs b￿ng surrendered for a multitijde of
reason5, including an alarming number of Frenth Bulldogs belng fou￿1 as stray& These abandoned
doss have been token into Do8 Warden care acw the UK and many a￿ unckimed resultin8 in the
need for them to find rescue space or to be euthanized. Where these dogs have been assessed as do
and human- fr¢endty every efftjrt has been made to 5a¥e them from certain death, and this has seen
the working processes need to change from active assessment to reactive rehoming Whe￿ safe to do
so. This has caused addltlonal pre5541res on an already busy team.
Phoenix F8R was aCtP￿ in the rescue of 254 FrerKh Bulldogs and Tehomed 279 to homes during
202312024, a si8nifitant increase on the prevKsus year. Regular embarB05 had to bè implemented,
where dogs could not be taken from ihe 8er*ral public w that the Team could regroup and
concentrate on the large numbers waiknn8 to be taken in. due to a drop In the number of homes wlllln8
to take In another dog. li became virtualty impos4ble to rehome dogs needing to be the only dog, or
those with medical or behavioural needs. due to the publ￿ bein8 understandably reluctant to take on
tential medical costs or need to time to re1rdin1￿ Costs.
Major bree(l-specific surgerles became Unfe￿1￿ due to the increase In veterinary fees. so dogs In
need of these were not ab￿ to be tsken. Where a dog already in care needed t￿￿. the general public
continued to be generous with their donatK¢ns through social media campaigns. Sadly, some legal ac-
tions had to be started against fosterers who had taken dogs Into their care and then refused to return
them or pay their adopt￿fi fee. These 8enefally resulted in pèyment or return before the artion came
to court. but it was a fractious time and is undesirous for any charity. AC￿nS have been tsken to
tl8hten the rehoming procedures. IncludFng raising the ag&limit of those belng accepted. to avoid
similar problem5.
Le55 e￿nts We￿ or8anized arKllor attended due to the need for the Team to ￿maIn focused on the
da￿t￿4¥ running ofthe rescue.
FUTURE PLANS
The coming year ￿14 see PhoenÉx F8R take less dogs from Council kenneL% and instead focusing more
on those in need from the general public. The situation is ¥ery'chicken and e￿￿ as we ponder whether
not taking as many do85 from the public has meant more being abandoned arHI vrtlmately stlll arrNing
in care from Council kennels. This will be continuou* review￿d over the forthcomin8 year.
