A great contribution is made by volunteers, in fostering dogs, assisting at

Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
2024 has continued to be busy for FODDR
51 dogs came into our care in 2024. 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.

The welfare and wellbeing of the dogs in our care is of paramount

share our welfare values. Providing these dogs with the correct nutrition
is equally important, expenditure in these areas is key to us achieving our
welfare objectives.
