| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | A huge contribution has been made by our volunteers. Special thanks must go to our trainers who regularly give up their Sunday mornings to run dog training at Sedlescombe Village Hall. Our training side has six volunteers (KM, CP, KF, JH, AS, CL), who regularly provide rescue dog behaviour management, training and education to dog owners and members of the public. Very grateful thanks must go to two further volunteers (CC & NR), who organised and ran two fundraising dog shows for the purpose of raising money. The following volunteers provided tombola’s for fund-raising events (SW & SH). A number of further volunteers aided our work as Charity Partners for Pets at Home by providing a public presence at the store to provide a focus for raising funds (LK, KM, SW, SH, CL, CP, KF, AP, CL, AP, JC, DN). |
| Other | In addition to helping so much with fundraising, NR rehomed 12 small dogs for K-9RR following the death of one of our most fervent supporters in January 2024). |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | In addition to providing dog behaviour management training and education to over 40 rescue dog owners over the year. Our aim, in providing this training, is to prevent owners giving up on their rescue dogs and placing them back into the rescue system. One of our rescues Leiki and his owner (BP) began (and will shortly be concluding training), to learn to scent synthetic DNA to assist Police in recovery of stolen goods. K-9RR has assisted in paying for this training and continues to support his socialisation as this was one of his issues. K-9 Rescue Remedy has rehomed a total 42 dogs during this year. Many of these dogs continue to come to training with us. We have been told by their owners that our training has made a huge difference for the better to both the dogs and their owners. |
