We rehomed 46 dogs. 5 went to other rescues and we now have 23 dogs in long term foster. We have helped a few cases where owners needed help paying unexpected veterinary fees. again this is an ongoing problem especially with the steep rise in veterinary fees country wide. We held our 2nd Angel's Bark in the Park at Speech House, this year it was even more successful, attended by well over a thousand people. We were blessed with good weather, which made it busier that last years show. We also held our ever popular chocolate bingo, psychic nights, Christmas wreath making and held online raffles, which are very popular. We continue to take the Forest of Dean District Council strays if they are unclaimed after 7 days. TAR March 2012
