Section C Objectives and activities

TAR

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public beneft in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public beneft)	To relieve the sufering of stray and shelter dogs in Romania. Organising and running spay campaigns in rural Romania to aid in the reduction of the stray dog population. Our primary objective is to improve the lives of the dogs left behind in Romania.
	Annie's trust strives to provide assistance to the poorest public shelters within Romania, currently focusing on Adjud Vrancea in the northwest. With a small team of trusted unpaid Romanian volunteers, we have been able to increase the quality of life, living conditions, nutrition and medical treatment for the dogs. By providing essential fea and tick treatment we have eased the sufering caused by deadly mosquito and tick related diseases like heartworm, babesia and anaplasma as well as controlling the very serious skin condition demodex, which is rife throughout Romania. We have provided sleep boxes and kennels for the dogs living outside in arctic conditions to provide a safe, warm and dry place sleep. Puppies are vaccinated and provided with regular food and milk. While older and sick dogs receive more nutritious food to improve their condition and recovery. Dogs within Romanian public shelters receive very little medical care when they get sick or injured. There is no medical care for the dogs on the street who are left to sufer and die from common accidents, brutality or disease. We provide lifesaving medical treatment to all dogs in need, that would otherwise sufer without our intervention. We operate a stray feeding programme funding food for Abandoned dogs. We believe that the most sustainable way of controlling the numbers of dogs on the streets and in the shelters is to promote spay and neuter campaigns throughout the country. We currently fund year-round sterilisation programs for the public shelter dogs, strays and also to owners with limited income for their pets. We educate to encourage better welfare for their animals. Annie’s Trust do not rehome dogs directly to the public, but instead we liaise with trusted rescues and sanctuaries in the UK who fnd homes for the dogs within their existing network. This ensures a responsible approach to safely rehoming dogs.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Annie’s Trust was established 4 months before the first lockdown of COVID19. During this time, we have been able to grow as a charity and carry out our objectives in extremely challenging circumstances.

We have funded and developed our “Free Run” project, which is a first in Romania. An outside space was filled with tyres and obstacles for the shelter animals to run around and have fun in. Prior to this, the dogs were locked in cages 24/7 and had no stimulation. Some had never felt grass beneath their feet.
