About
LUOSKO
German Shepherd Dog Rescue Est 2014, Registered Charity # 1188407
The name 'LUOSKO' derives from the founders original dogs back in 2014; LU CCA, OS CAR and RILEY (aka Solophina AS KO ) and has since been adopted as the family name and trusted name for training, rehabilitating and re-homing German Shepherds responsibly . After losing LUNA in 2020 we altered it to include both LU CCA & LU NA as the LU , we also replaced the stock image with a silhouette of Luna as a memorial.
LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue was originally founded in 2014, as a walking, daycare and boarding service. In 2018 the rescue side flourished more than ever and the old business services were disbanded making way for the new Charity which formed in 2019, allowing for the care of the increased amount of rescue dogs. We quickly became a breedspecific rescue for German Shepherds, and the move to our Cheadle site, allowed us to take care of up to 40+ dogs at any one time.
The rescue is ever evolving for the better and shall continue to do so with the help of all our excellent and trusted volunteers, whom of course we could not do what we do without their dedicated support along with the general public and last but not least, all of the amazing people and families that open up their hearts and homes to one (or more) of our amazing dogs.
We feel passionately that our role is not simply to deal with the consequences of irresponsible ownership, but to also tackle the root causes and reduce the number of dogs needing to access the animal welfare system. We also believe in the valuable pastoral and therapeutic role that dogs can play in our local community.
We therefore offer one-to-one training and socialisation as well as hiring out our Freedom Field for people to exercise & train their dogs in a safe and secure environment.
We are committed to helping both dogs and people. Which is why we offer supported volunteering roles and employment placements at our rescue centre, working with third sector organisations representing disadvantaged groups.

A message from the founders
Last year was a very challenging year but thankfully ended on a more optimistic note, with the extraordinary efforts of the LUOSKO volunteer team putting us in a better position to face the uncertainties of what the future may hold.
Extra special thanks go out to the small team of volunteers who stayed on site for the entirety of lockdown, dedicating every moment to the care of our dogs, by creating our own bubble we were able to ensure all the dogs in our care were looked after 24hrs a day, without the need of constant interaction with the outside world and the fear of infection putting the care and welfare of our dogs in any danger. Also several extra special volunteers who braved the issues and helped by dropping items off to the kennels to keep the small isolated team fed and happy.
Our volunteers are such an integral part of our team, so we were delighted to welcome them all back to our rescue centre, Fundraising Store and events after such a long absence during lockdowns.
Our team focus over the next 2 years will be to create new roles and policies to assist with the sustainability and management of the rescue, including disaster strategies and coping with the lasting impact of Covid-19.
Demand for our services is slowly on the rise again now, our name is reaching further distances and word of mouth recommendations are astounding.
Intake enquiries increased when the pandemic restrictions eased, and they are set to continue, which will inevitably cause chaos within our field in the years to come. But with the dedicated volunteers that we have, hopefully we will be able to offer alternatives to handovers by means of extra training and education for owners via our new LUOSKO Academy when it is ready.
We are looking at creating our very own Academy, which will involve dedicated volunteers, behaviorists and trainers, who over time will create a service that will be available for all owners giving them access to services that will hopefully educate and prepare them for events that would normally lead to rehoming or worst-case scenario putting dogs to sleep. We also anticipate keeping these services to an affordable level, allowing more people to access and make use of the services.
Keeping pace with the need to generate more funds is never easy but our Fundraising and Retail teams worked wonders this year. Our fundraising team saw a return to face-to face events, growth in our digital platforms and led on innovative ways to encourage individual giving.
Our charity shop was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Cheadle in April and we were pleased to welcome volunteers and customers alike. The shop bought in an amazing £24,000 over the course of the year in addition to online sales, including eBay and our online shop selling merchandise which bought in an extra £2000 worth of funding.
Page 4 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
As you read this report you will see our determination to make progress, our staff and volunteers give up their valuable time to help and we would like to look into improving all facilities to make volunteering more pleasurable for them.
Surviving the continuing day to day crisis’ over the past year has been made possible by the continued generosity of our supporters, fundraisers, volunteers and donators. The emerging cost-of-living crisis is likely to impact on both the demand for our services and our income streams, yet again so we will need to develop and adapt our ways of working.
A new Strategic Plan and a broad organisational review will enable us to build an organisation that is fit for the future to ensure our sustainability.
We received several corporate and legacy donations throughout the year helping to levy the decline in adoption fees, making our combined income from donations and activities higher than the previous year.
More income has been generated by the services we provide outside of the “rescue” aspect, especially training services which has prompted us to look at opening up our own Academy.
We would like to end with our heartfelt thanks to our staff, trustees and volunteers who continue to work so hard and with such extraordinary commitment, giving tireless support whatever challenges we face, thank you for making our Charity what it is today and looking ahead we will move from strength to strength.

Our Vision
Our vision is a future where all dogs are provided with a responsible and loving home for life and that LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue is recognised as a high-quality provider of animal welfare and community services. We strive to become a centre of excellence for German Shepherd Dogs, their welfare and well being.
We aim to eventually provide all necessary services to help with all aspects of all the individuals and their dogs we come into contact with, including veterinary, wellbeing, training and most of all education & prevention.
“Responsibility before Rescue” is something that we would like to concentrate our efforts on, to educate by means of experience days before people even take up ownership of a dog, Education & Training for those owners and dogs with existing issues, and responsible rehoming when there is no alternatives left.
Page 6 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
Our Mission is to:
Reduce the number of dogs euthanised in the UK annually by providing a kennel space at our rescue centre, a foster home or rescue placement for animals in emergencies.
- Reduce the number of dogs entering the animal welfare system through campaigning for change, education, and the promotion of responsible ownership; and the provision of support to owners to help them keep their dogs.
Promote the therapeutic benefits of dog ownership and interaction with dogs.
Provision of support to owners to help them keep their dogs.

Delivering for the public benefit
We believe that our work provides considerable public benefit by:
-
Rescuing at-risk dogs and placing them in the right homes for life
-
Educating and enabling the public to better care for animals
-
Ensuring that we fully comply with the Animal Welfare Act for the dogs in our care
-
Offering volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support our work Supporting dog owners in crisis through education and training support
Our Core Values
We are guided in our work by the following core values:
We seek to provide our dogs with the best quality of care available within our resources. We aim to ensure each dog has its emotional and physical well-being met through a suitable environment, and a suitable diet, providing the ability to exhibit normal behaviour patterns and protecting it from pain, suffering, injury, and disease.
Finding the right home for the right dog: Each dog is assessed, and each home is evaluated on its individual merits to ensure the right match. We aim to avoid blanket re- homing policies as far as possible to ensure a flexible approach to adoption.
We show compassion for both the dogs in our care and the people we deal with, whatever their circumstances for using our services.
We do not discriminate against the dogs we help based on their breed, age or medical condition. No adoptable dog is unnecessarily euthanised due to space or time constraints.
We do not just deal with the problems caused by poor animal welfare but actively seek to tackle the root causes and work towards being part of the solution.
We strive to work in a way that is open, honest, transparent, and accountable to our stakeholders.
We respect and value our staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters.

Case Study – “The Liverpool 5”
When we received a call from another rescue organisation in need, we knew that we were about to embark on a unique and challenging mission. The call informed us of five German Shepherds requiring assistance, a mix of three males and two females, all of which were in a flat above a greengrocer in Liverpool.
This was one of the first times we had to deal with multiple dogs in one rescue, the day was planned like a military operation collaborating with another rescue centre and their team as well as a transporter to bring the dogs back to our centre.
Upon arrival early in the morning we quickly realized that there were more than the 5 dogs that we had been told about, so we set upon checking each dog and moving them to the transporters van, the person was very reluctant to handover the final 2 dogs, so we arranged with the other rescue to neuter both of them instead to help the owner avoid other litters being born in the future.
However, what truly set this situation apart was the revelation that one of the females turned out to be pregnant, adding an extra layer of urgency and compassion to our rescue efforts on the day.
Shortly after arriving back at our centre, they were all vet checked and given a clean bill of health including the expectant mother who gave birth to a litter of eight precious German Shepherd puppies, all born within the safety of our loving environment.
Our amazing, dedicated team immediately sprang into action, providing round-the-clock care, specialised nutrition, and a nurturing atmosphere to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and her newborns. Our mission was clear: to give each of these dogs the best possible chance of a brighter future.
As the puppies continued to grow and thrive under our watchful eyes, we decided to extend our reach even further. We reached out to a network of compassionate foster homes, carefully selecting environments where the puppies could continue to flourish. Our foster families opened their hearts and homes to these young dogs, offering the love and support they needed to thrive.
What makes this journey even more remarkable was our commitment to giving the foster families the option to adopt at 12 months. This unique approach ensured that these dogs had the opportunity to find their permanent, loving homes while benefiting from their early experiences in foster care with our backup and guidance.
The journey we undertook with these German Shepherds was a testament to our volunteers and our organisation's unwavering dedication to our dog’s welfare and it showcased the transformative power of rescue collaboration and our commitment to providing a second chance for these remarkable dogs.

LUOSKO on TV, Blue Peter
During lockdown we were privileged to welcome a BBC Television crew on site, all be it a restricted version due to the regulations in force, however it was a pleasure to work alongside such a well-established name in the media to put forward the story of one of our adopters.
Blue Peter ran a story about rescue dogs and the importance of ensuring it is the right time to have one, Rex one of our previous adopted dogs was one of the dogs chosen to be featured, and part of the story was to show people where he had come from.
Page 10 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
Income Generation
Our SECOND year as a charity has been especially tough yet again, with the aftermath of COVID19 and the restrictions imposed by the government together with the imposing cost of living crisis.
For the second year running we have seen a drop in our adoptions and associated income. As well as a significant increase in the number of enquiries and number of dogs needing to come into rescue, however we have seen an increase in the figures for donations mainly due to applying new ways of fundraising and a huge boost in corporate donations.
Our corporate sponsorship received a massive boost this year with the help of a donor that wishes to remain anonymous, pledging £20,000 over the next 2 years, this can be taken and utilised on an, as and when needed basis.
General Fundraising income has increased slightly with the easing of the COVID-19 restrictions meaning that external events are slowly returning, however we do not anticipate this to be back to anywhere near normal for at least the next 12 months.
Thankfully our attending volunteer numbers are starting to return to a reasonable figure, meaning we have a reasonable number of volunteers available to help in kennels as well as the odd fundraising event throughout the year. We are eager to delegate and train interested volunteers in different roles alleviating some of the duties the more full time volunteers are currently doing.
During this year we received no grants from major bodies, however we did thankfully receive a few substantial donations from local businesses which has helped.
Our online donation platforms continue to be an invaluable source of income and have continued to bring in funds with the introduction of automatic repeat donations.
Our £15,000 bounce back loan helped with the dip in adoption fees, however only scraped the tip of the iceberg when it came to clearing outstanding accounts with suppliers. Payments were set to interest only from July 2021 for the first 6 months and returned to principal + Interest for the rest of the year, to help further with cash flow.
Our Fundraising Store has now been officially opened and has quickly become a valuable source of income, thankfully we were allowed to open the doors in March, and the shop has made use of the donations of clothes and bric-a-brac donated by the local community, raising over £24,000 in the first 12 months. Our rent is now at the maximum of £165 per week and was not raised at the review stage in November, remaining at £165 per week for the next 12 month period.
Production of our very first fundraising calendar was a great success, funded entirely by corporate sponsorship, leaving 100% of the proceeds as donated income. Pulling the calendar together was hard work for one person, and although successful we will produce the next calendar for 2024 as we wish to be more organised and have more time to pull things together.
Page 11 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
Additional Donations & Sponsorship
In addition to cash gifts, we were also generously supported by gifts-in-kind donations.
Our key sponsors for 2021 – 2022 were:
Butchers Dog Food, who generously provided several pallets of Butcher's wet dog food throughout the year under their ‘nourish every dog’ scheme.
AUTARKY – 50 x bags of food
YORA – 1 x Pallett of insect based dry food
We also received the following donations from:
Monks & Crane @£150.00, Fox & Field @ £77.85, Route 66 @ £482.50
Looking Ahead
We are going to be utilising eBay and Vinted more to re-sell items that are donated to the charity that have a slightly higher potential value, as we are determined to keep the prices in the Fundraising Store low for the foreseeable future to help out in our local community.
Continuing development of our social media channels and which are now linked to our website allowing our communications strategy to be more focused on ‘digital first’ with our website being the central hub for our online presence, which is also linked to our main donations platform (Donorbox).
We will continue to utilise more community-based groups and corporate staff volunteer days to help complete mini-projects at our centre.
Page 12 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
Volunteering
Our volunteer base is still small however all our amazing volunteers are an invaluable group of dedicated people who help to look after the dogs in our care, as well as undertaking a variety of tasks including fostering, fundraising, transporting, dog walking, home checking and offering professional skills. Part of our volunteering team is made up of animal studies students with work placements from Reasheath College, as well as volunteers taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme of which now form an invaluable part of our volunteering team.
Our rescue centre provides opportunities for volunteers to get more involved “hands-on” with the dogs which improves the welfare and enrichment of our kennel dogs.
We are currently looking into our volunteer recruitment policy to make more people aware of the roles available, and looking into more avenues that will allow us to make more use of local educational establishments and their students in the day to day operations of our rescue centre.

Structure, Governance and Management
LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Charitable status was gained on 6[th ] March 2020. LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue operates throughout the UK.
The Board of Trustees runs the Charity with the assistance of the co-founders and our dedicated volunteers. The Trustees are responsible for making all decisions on any major expenditures. Our current Board of Trustees comprises three Trustees each with a vested interest in the operation of the rescue.
We will be looking to take on more trustees in the next financial year to bring new skills and experience to the table.
We are a new rescue in terms of developing long-term sustainable voluntary income streams. Whilst we will be looking into a long-term fundraising strategy to promote regular giving and legacies, it will take a few years before we see significant benefits from these activities. It is therefore important to us that we consider other sustainable income sources to support our charitable work.
Our current trading activities outside of our charitable income include the following:
Freedom Field Hire
We hire one of our outside fields, on a half-hour or hourly basis. This has proved to be extremely popular with the local community, especially for families with dogs that have little or no recall or that are not good with other dogs/people when out.
Training
Utilising our volunteer trainers to expand into training of basic issues for dogs still owned by members of the public, has been a popular choice in some cases to actually avoid dogs coming into rescue.
On-Line Auctions
We have adapted during lockdown to utilise online platforms more, one way has been to utilise Facebook to help produce an online auction to sell donated items.
Page 14 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
External Organisations
We have continued our relationship with external organisations such as the Police Force and Prison Service for some of the more suitable dogs that we assess as not suitable for a general pet home.
Charity Shop
Thankfully we were able to open the doors to our Fundraising Store which was officially opened by the Mayor of Cheadle, the store has been very popular and has quickly become a valuable source of income, thankfully we were allowed to open the doors in March, and the shop has made use of the donations of clothes and bric-a-brac donated by the local community, bringing in over £24,000 in the first 12 months. Our rent is now at the maximum of £165 per week and was not raised at the review stage in November, remaining at £165 per week for the next 12-month period.
Our future plans include the following:
E-commerce
Although we have run our own online shop for the last 12 months, we are looking at outsourcing things like volunteer & supporter merchandise to improve the efficiency of getting items made up and out to customers.
Natural Treat Shop
We are considering the viability of our own natural treat and food shop, possibly a physical shop or an online store, providing natural food, treats and remedies, this will also help with the dogs in our care by means of being able to purchase items at cost and in bulk.
Page 15 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
Monitoring and Performance
We strive to improve the services we provide and will look at developing new policies and procedures to help achieve this.
We aim to produce a 5-year Strategic Plan, which will include things like performance measures and targets that will allow us to develop and improve as we grow. These indicators, together with case studies, will be reported in future Annual Reports.
Risk Management
We need to look at any risks to the organisation, in particular, those directly related to its operations and finances. The Strategic Plan will contain a summary of any risks identified together with mitigating actions and review process which will be reviewed on an annual basis. A risk log will be maintained and reviewed at Trustee meetings.
Page 16 LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue Annual Report 2021-2022
Looking ahead, the bigger picture.
We have ambitious plans to develop the rescue into a centre of excellence for German Shepherd Dogs. Hopefully, the strategic plan will help to pave the way forward.
Our main projects for the year ahead include:
Refining our range of promotional items, possibly by outsourcing to a local business, who can supply on demand, rather than having a large outlay to bring in items to sell.
Creation of the ‘LUOSKO Academy’, where we will look at utilising the skills of trainers and behaviourists local to us to create our very own Training Academy, that not only looks after the welfare and enrichment of the dogs in our care, but also for members of the public who are suffering with their dogs.
Our focus in terms of welfare will be to change our staff/volunteer to dog ratio through gradually increasing welfare staff numbers as funds allow. This will require investment into the generation of funding and income.

Financial Position
