## **OBJECTIVES**
The objectives of Save Our Spaniels continue as we approach our 6[th] year as a registered charity with the heavy stream of requests for help with abandoned, abused and rescues founds in the perreras predominately in Spain. We surpassed 2021 record in helping over 1,000 spaniels and bretons since inception despite covid disruptions and new Brexit regulations. As ever, our priorities started with injured, sick and elderly dogs in the kill stations in Spain. All had to be vet checked, surgeries carried out and then preparation for travel to foster homes in the UK. The average cost of each dog is in the region of £760. With Brexit importation regulations being implemented, the UK transporters are now paying extra customs costs to bring each dog into the UK, which in the main, has been passed onto the rescues, hence an increase of the average cost per dog. Still using established solid contacts for exiting from the kill stations across Spain, using 2 trusted internal transporters to take the vast majority of our dogs to one residencia for preparation. We have been acutely aware as we only have one admin member in Spain, that established and trusted procedures are paramount. The rescues are all microchipped, vaccinated, neutered (if over 6 months of age and medically able), bloods taken to check health as well as Mediterranean diseases, wormed, flead and issued with an EU Passport. The 3 or 4 UK transporters are DEFRA registered and all IPAFFS paperwork has been carried out in accordance with commercial regulations transporting dogs.

## **WORKING WITH OTHER CHARITIES**
We have established a good working relationship with other dog rescues, in particular rescues in Spain who exit and prepare rescue spaniels to be transported to the UK, and in the UK we liaise with Spaniel Aid to sometimes share costs and assist each other.
## **ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING**
Recording of transactions into our books and records is handled by Holly Stubbs, our bookkeeper, and Accounts are examined by Christine Lewis MAAT, on a volunteer basis.
## **FUNDRAISING**
Funds are raised by donation, either regularly monthly donations, or as a result of appeals for specific purposes/dogs. Gift Aid is claimed on donations where appropriate.
Donated Goods are auctioned on a regular basis, to raise much needed funds, and Calendars, SOS teddies and SOS merchandise were produced and sold during the year.
