Achievements and Performance
SORP reference Over the last year we have continued to rescue and rehome dogs from both the UK and Cyprus. Although our work has continued on a smaller scale we continue to rescue and rehome dogs as well as providing rescue back up for dogs previously rescued through our charity. We continue to be thankful to all the people whose support allows us to continue our work; from our wonderful foster families and adopters who open their hearts and their homes to our dogs, to the amazing volunteer home checkers who help us to complete vital
| paperwork ahead of adoption. We would also like to say a special thank you to Caroline Brooks for ensuring the ongoing welfare checks of adopted dogs and our ongoing fundraisers, without whom our work would not be possible. We may not be able to change the world for every dog, but for each dog we rescue, we can change their world. One by One. |
