## **2021-22 The Challenges Continue – A tough time to be a rescue** 

We continue to do what we can in difficult times and support our local community as best we can.  Given everything that has been thrown at us in the past 2 years, we can say we have mastered resilience.  Our small team are working frantically hard to ensure we provide the best care to our dogs, meet minimum welfare standards throughout the rescue and find ways to survive another year.  We have worked harder than ever to try to raise funds and secure grants where possible with: 


## **19 events in this financial year including 2 volunteer recruitment & induction days.** 

We held or attended more events this year than ever before.  We have tremendous support from our events team led by Christine Lord, and amazing support from the local community who always manage to provide us with tombola, craft, and homemade items. And then there is always the cake – we seem to be an organisation that thrives on dogs and cake. Any event we hold takes months of planning and we are so fortunate to have such a great team of volunteers to help in the preparation, set up and running of these great fundraisers.  We thank everyone involved for their commitment and drive – what a year making up for all the events we couldn’t hold the previous year due to Covid. 




## **Renovation Work** 

**Lights** Vital improvements on the kennels that were started in the previous year continued. During the summer, we installed floodlights around the paddock/car park areas which means we can continue exercising dogs after dark, safely – vital for the winter months. 


**Drains** We also moved onto Phases 2 & 3 of our planned drainage work, with the installation of the internal drains throughout the kennel blocks to connect with the new drainage outside.  The old drainage had been an open one, straight down the centre of the corridors as shown in the first picture top left, difficult to clean and not hygienic. The pandemic has taken its toll with finance remaining a struggle, and funding and donations at an all-time low, and so the next phase of the screed floor was put on hold and the decision to concentrate on building the boarding business to subsidise the costs 

of our charitable activities made.  This was hugely successful, and, without any advertising, we were quickly fully booked for the whole of the summer, revenue we badly needed.  We are 



quietly confident that improvements will continue in 2023, and the first project will be to finally have the screed laid in the kennel block, funding permitting. 


**Play** We did have to replace the old astroturf we had inherited that is laid in one of our paddocks. We had no idea how long this had been in situ, but it was clear from the many patches and the wear and tear that it would need replacing before long.  A litter of pointer puppies really gave the old turf a hammering and before long, it had become a trip hazard for humans and dogs.  So, we put out an appeal on social media, and within a few weeks, we had enough donations to replace the whole of the turf.  The support of our local community is unending and has been highly motivating for the whole team through a difficult time for us all.  Not only were we able to replace the old Astro, but we have also turned the paddock into an enrichment area with various surfaces and scent boxes for the dogs to explore. 


## **Investing in our staff** 


We are incredibly lucky to have such a great team of 8 kennels staff who care for all the dogs in both rescue and also in the boarding kennels.  All staff are already qualified to a minimum of Ofqual Level 3 in Animal Welfare, we also provide additional training through our partnership with MARS Petcare and through various workshops through the membership with the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH). We have placed two members of our team onto a Level 4 in Canine Training and Behaviour and wish them both luck with their studies.  We are very proud of our team of staff, they all go above and beyond the call of duty, often out all hours when we are assisting in the 


capture of stray dogs.  They never cease to give 100% to all the dogs in our care.  The summer was particularly hard, with temperatures reaching 40C on two consecutive days. The Team were fantastic, along with volunteers, they came in very early to exercise dogs and spent the rest of the day ensuring they, and the dogs, were kept as cool as possible. Iced water for hot feet worked a treat, whilst the dogs opted for deeper water. 

**Investing in our volunteers** 

We are also providing ongoing and varied training for our wonderful, dedicated volunteers.  We are pleased to have been able to provide a full day course on Dog Behaviour “Learning the Language of Woof” with expert behaviourist Mike Barnett from Orion Dog Services and will shortly be sending a large number of staff and volunteers on a Canine First Aid course. Our volunteers are priceless.  They help us with transport, events, adoptions, dog walking, admin, ancillary work, 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Induction Day – Social Distancing Style!<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>




reception duties, laundry, painting, social media, and so much more.  We simply cannot operate without these amazing people and thank them all for their compassion and commitment year on year. 

We were delighted when our dog walking volunteers were nominated and won a special award through Warwickshire CAVA as Rugby’s “Unsung Heroes”.  They absolutely are, turning up through all weathers to help walk our dogs on and off site. 


## **Volunteering is a 2-way street** 

When we ran a survey of our 150 registered volunteers and asked them to tell us what volunteering meant to them. We were delighted that we manage to give back to their dedication with a great sense of wellbeing expressed by 85% of our volunteers and 100% of them would recommend us to others for volunteering opportunities.  Our volunteers are Passioneers! 


**How we make a difference** 

**Keeping dogs with their families** Our respite care service has continued, with us caring for dogs whose owners have been forced to flee emergency situations, and to accept dogs with ongoing medical issues when owners are unable to afford or care for them any longer.  We are often the very last chance a dog has at life. Often, we are contacted by vets whose owners have felt they simply cannot cope with their pet anymore and have requested euthanasia.  Sadly, this is often due to ongoing and acute skin issues, and where treatment is invariably undermined by a poor diet. 



As we had foreseen, the fallout from so called “lockdown pups” has now begun to bite, quite literally, when, along with all other rescue centres in the country, we were overwhelmed with requests to help rehome dogs, many with behavioural or medical issues.  With spaces drying up, we continued to focus on the strays.  However, we were also alarmed at the number of owners requesting relinquishments of their dogs – a 60% increase compared with previous years.  We have invested a great deal of time in discussing each individual situation to see if 

problems can be helped by directing to a respected behaviourist/trainer, or in some cases, simply providing dog food to assist owners in difficult times.  We have also continued to supply local food banks with tinned dog food thanks to the support of Butchers Pet Care, whenever it is required and further rolled out providing food direct to the community for those who didn’t qualify for food bank vouchers – everyone is finding costs difficult to bear, we hope to keep dogs in loving homes through this latest crisis. 

**Abandoned strays** Our priority has always been to help stray dogs first, those who have seven days in a local council holding kennel before they seek urgent rescue space. Sadly, we are seeing more dogs abandoned, some literally abandoned in local villages as in the case of Roman the Doberman (pictured) who was captured on a local homeowner’s ring doorbell at 3am. He was sighted many times that morning before finally being spotted in a local field. The landowner told the police he was going to shoot him shortly before our staff managed to catch him safely.  Roman is a victim of illegal mutilation as his tail and ears have been cropped, a practice which is not only brutal and cruel, but also illegal in the UK.  Since Roman came to us and was subsequently adopted, he proudly sports his bandana advocating “Flop not Crop” to help educate people that this barbaric practice must be stamped out. 

**Medical Challenges** In an already difficult year, we have had so many dogs come to us with major health issues – dogs with the worst cases of eye entropia our vets have ever seen; several dogs with tumours, one which needed two lots of revolutionary new treatment to save; dogs in such poor condition they have practically been starved; dogs abandoned with underlying health issues in emaciated states, straying for days, sometimes weeks, trying desperately to feed and fend for themselves. 

**Behavioural Challenges** Additionally, we have had dogs with behavioural issues that have been very challenging.  We are seeing a sharp increase in dogs with these issues unfortunately, perhaps due to lack of socialisation during the Covid lockdowns imposed on us all.  Younger dogs particularly who missed out on the vital interaction with humans and other animals during their first months of life.  We are also aware of many new dog owners who are misreading their dog’s signals, often resulting in nips or bites when their body language is not interpreted correctly. These dogs require a lot of time spent to decompress, re-learn or often learn from scratch on how to interact correctly, and it puts a tremendous strain on resources as they can spend a great deal more time with us than we would like for them. 


There is also a concerning trend of high-profile dog trainers who are teaching outdated and coercive training methods. We must always remember that dogs are animals and as such, their reactions to such training methods can induce fear and eventually aggression. Unfortunately, it is not a regulated industry yet and we are often the port of call for reports of “training gone wrong”.  We do our best to advise the best route, but when these types of trainers become 





influencers or even TV “stars”, their fanbase defend any sensible debate which just divides people further. 

**Welfare** We are also often the port of call for dogs seized from abusive homes.  It never ceases to amaze us how a traumatised dog can learn to trust and love again, forgiving humans for the crimes inflicted.  They are simply incredible animals.  We have had several dogs come to us with such fear of humans, it is shocking.  It does take time, and extremely good foster homes to help these dogs recover.  Thankfully, all are now safe and happy in their loving adopted homes. 

**Outlook** Looking to the future, we would have hoped our services would no longer be needed.  The setbacks that we have all had over the past few years has had a truly massive impact on dogs in the UK, and very sadly, the fallout of this will not diminish for many years.  We will continue to help where we can and try our utmost to create a better future for the dogs in our community and in particular, the ones that are fortunate to find a place of safety with us.

## **Letter from the Chair** 

The fallout of the pandemic continues to affect us, with the loss of our charity shop which was no longer sustainable.  We are so very grateful to everyone involved in our first shop, those who helped to set this up, staff and volunteers who ran it, and those who helped us to close when we realised the risk of continuing in the current climate was too great to the Charity.  We are missing the revenue that the shop brought in over the pre-pandemic years, and the lovely people who worked with us to make it an earlier success. 

I am proud of the Team in all their support of the local community throughout this time, continuing to supply dog food both directly into the community and via local foodbanks.  Where funds permit, we will strive to support dogs remaining in their loving homes where possible. 

Our volunteer numbers are beginning to increase now that we are able to conduct inductions and these incredible people have managed to cover so many local events throughout the spring/summer/autumn, ensuring that we have a good direct fundraising income and awareness platform for the first time since 2019. I sincerely thank each and every one of them for their sheer hard work and determination to make this possible. 

When we bought the kennels at the end of 2020, we knew there was work to be done to improve the site to how we want it to be.  I am so pleased to see this work progressing as funds are secured from grant funding and know that we all have a clear vision to continue to strive for the very best welfare facilities for our dogs. 

It is sad that we are seeing so many dogs requiring rehoming due to their owner’s lack of time, the cost-ofliving increases, and the knock-on effect this has to the stray dog numbers in the UK.  Something we all knew was coming, but helpless to control.  However, I know that our team will continue to do the best they can to save as many dogs as possible from euthanasia due to lack of rescue space in the UK. 

Our staff and volunteers all work so hard for unloved and unwanted dogs, ensuring they all have everything they need to flourish in our care and in their new homes. 

Thank you to each and every one of them.
