We operate across England and Wales, providing rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming while also supporting owners and promoting better understanding of the breed’s health and welfare needs. During 2024-25, the challenge facing the rescue changed. Demand for help remained high, but increasingly the dogs coming through our doors were not straightforward rehoming cases. More arrived with significant medical disease, pain-related behaviour, previous failed placements or combinations of conditions requiring specialist care. At the same time, veterinary costs continued to rise sharply. The number of suitable adoptive homes reduced as households felt the effect of the cost of living and the increasing cost of veterinary treatment. We heard repeatedly from people who had lost a much-loved dog that, despite wanting another, they no longer felt able to take on the long-term financial commitment of dog ownership. Against this background, Bliss deliberately took fewer dogs than in previous years. This was not because the need had reduced. It was because the dogs already in our care required more of everything: more specialist appointments, more medication, more rehabilitation, more time in foster and, for some, lifelong financial support. ## **Our commitment remained unchanged** No dog was euthanised simply on arrival into rescue, and our behavioural euthanasia rate remained 0%. Dogs with difficult behaviour were assessed, investigated for pain and supported in appropriate foster environments wherever a good quality of life could be maintained. ## **Public benefit** The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Our work benefits the public through the prevention and relief of animal suffering, responsible rehoming, owner education, veterinary collaboration and the promotion of better health and welfare standards for Cavaliers.

**financial commitment**| Adoption donations have never been intended to cover the full cost of rescue. During this year the gap widened further: many dogs needed dental treatment, diagnostics, medication or specialist care before they could safely leave rescue, while 70% of rehomed dogs required a reduced adoption fee because of their health. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 3 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **THE NATIONAL PICTURE** ## **The rising cost of veterinary care** Rising veterinary costs were one of the defining pressures on Bliss during 2024-25. This was not unique to our charity. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) was conducting a full market investigation into veterinary services throughout the reporting year. On 15 October 2025 - just before the end of our financial year - the CMA published its provisional decision. It described a £6.3 billion UK veterinary services market and provisionally identified competition concerns around price transparency, consumer choice, medicine pricing and the regulatory framework. **63% 16.6% 21 rise in average vet prices, 2016higher average prices at large vet measures proposed by the CMA in 2023 groups than independents October 2025** The CMA’s investigation was principally into veterinary businesses, not individual veterinary professionals. It also explicitly recognised the skill and commitment of vets and veterinary nurses, and the unacceptable pressure many face from frustrated clients. Bliss shares that distinction: our veterinary partners remain essential to our work, while the wider economics of accessing care have become increasingly difficult for rescues and owners alike. ## **Why this matters to rescue** When a rescue routinely pays for dentals, cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, internal medicine, emergency care and long-term medication, even modest price increases compound quickly. In 2024-25, Bliss was caring for fewer dogs but spending considerably more on direct rescue costs. _Source: Competition and Markets Authority, Veterinary Services Market Investigation - provisional decision and press release, 15 October 2025._ Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 4 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **CAPACITY** ## **Fewer dogs did not mean less work** Bliss took 72 dogs into rescue during the year. The reduced intake reflected capacity, not reduced demand. Increasing numbers of dogs were remaining in foster for longer because they required specialist treatment, behavioural rehabilitation or a very particular type of home. A single complex dog may require months of foster care, repeated referral appointments and thousands of pounds of treatment. That inevitably reduces the number of new spaces available, particularly when experienced foster homes are needed for dogs who cannot safely be placed in an ordinary household. ## **A changing caseload** More behavioural cases. More specialist referrals. More long-term medication. More dogs whose adoption still required ongoing financial support from Bliss. ## **A changing adoption landscape** At the same time, finding suitable adoptive homes became harder. The cost of living and rapidly increasing veterinary fees made prospective adopters more cautious, particularly with a breed known to have significant inherited health problems. Many experienced Cavalier owners who had lost a dog told us that they did not feel able to have another because of the likely ongoing cost of veterinary care. For medically complicated or behaviourally challenging dogs, the pool of suitable homes narrowed further. Around 70% of dogs rehomed during the year therefore left on a reduced adoption fee, typically around £300, because their health needs made a full fee inappropriate. Making adoption achievable for the right home remained more important than recovering the rescue’s costs. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 5 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **LONG-TERM CARE** ## **Lifelong Support: adoption without abandoning responsibility** The Bliss Lifelong Support Adoption Scheme was expanded further during 2024-25. It is designed for dogs whose known pre-existing health problems might otherwise prevent them from finding a permanent home. Under the scheme, Bliss continues to contribute to agreed veterinary treatment and medication for specified pre-existing conditions after adoption. This gives adopters clarity and allows selected dogs to enjoy permanent family life without transferring an unrealistic financial burden to the adopter. |**36**|**Ongoing**|**Targeted**| |---|---|---| |**dogs receiving Lifelong Support or**|**veterinary and medication**|**support for agreed pre-existing**| |**long-term foster care**|**commitments after adoption**|**conditions**| The scheme has become increasingly important as the cost of care rises, but it also creates a significant continuing liability for the charity. An adoption is no longer necessarily the end of Bliss’s financial responsibility for that dog. ## **Why sustainability matters** Long-term support must be carefully managed so that the rescue can honour commitments already made while continuing to help new dogs in crisis. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 6 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **VETERINARY CARE** ## **Increasingly complex medicine** Referral-level care is no longer an occasional exception within Bliss. During the year we managed dogs requiring specialist input across cardiology, neurology, internal medicine and orthopaedics. **CARDIOLOGY NEUROLOGY Bramble Amber** Pulmonic stenosis requiring specialist assessment An ex-breeding dog with severe syringomyelia and balloon valvuloplasty. requiring neurological care. **INTERNAL MEDICINE ORTHOPAEDICS Ruby Sandy & Lilli-Bea** Under treatment for immune-mediated haemolytic Major bilateral patella disease. Lilli-Bea required anaemia (IMHA), requiring intensive monitoring and repeated corrective surgery; Sandy’s bilateral specialist management. procedure alone cost around £6,000. We also saw dogs such as Woody and Billy, both affected by severe syringomyelia alongside significant behavioural problems. Both had been returned following bite incidents. Cases like these demonstrate how medical and behavioural complexity frequently overlap, and why safe rehoming may take months - or may not be appropriate at all. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 7 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **CASE STUDY** ## **Sandy: when pain changes behaviour** **99.99% ~£6,000 10 months Chiari Check CM-P score bilateral orthopaedic surgery alone before she began to trust people** Sandy arrived at Bliss in 2025 after spending her life as a breeding dog kept in a shed. We do not know exactly how many litters she produced. There was no evidence available to Bliss that appropriate health screening had been carried out before she was used for breeding. Her mobility was extremely poor. Her limbs were so unstable that she would sometimes fall flat onto the ground. Veterinary examination identified significant bilateral medial patellar luxation, abnormal limb positioning and discomfort around her head and neck. Her Chiari Check produced a CM-P score of 99.99%, strongly supporting significant Chiari-associated pain. The effect on her behaviour was profound. Sandy guarded herself from both people and dogs. She would flatten herself to the floor when handled and struggled with grooming, leads and visitors. Being approached or moved had become something she expected to hurt. ## **Pain before punishment** Rather than treating Sandy as simply a “difficult dog”, her behaviour was considered alongside her physical health. Pain management was adjusted, specialist orthopaedic investigation arranged and she was given the time and space needed to feel safe. By the end of the reporting year Sandy was still in rescue, principally because of the severity of her behavioural needs. Her bilateral knee surgery was already being planned and fundraised for. In the months immediately after year end she required major bilateral corrective surgery costing approximately £6,000, in addition to her dental treatment, spay, medication, referrals and months of rehabilitation. Hospitalisation itself was extremely distressing for Sandy and additional medication was needed to help her cope. Her case showed how deeply years of pain and limited life experience can affect a dog long after the original environment has been left behind. It ultimately took around ten months for Sandy to begin trusting people. Her story is a reminder that growling, guarding, withdrawal and resistance to handling may be communication from a dog who is frightened, in pain, or both. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 8 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **CASE STUDY** ## **Ralph: when rehoming is not the safest outcome** |**100%**|**2½ years**|**Long-term**| |---|---|---| |**Chiari Check CM-P score**|**old when surrendered to Bliss**|**foster care because of bite risk**| Ralph came to Bliss in July 2025 after his previous family had already invested significant effort in trying to manage his behaviour safely. They had sought veterinary advice, worked with specialist behavioural professionals and used careful environmental management. As a young child in the home became more mobile, however, Ralph’s resource guarding and unpredictability created an increasingly serious safety concern. His history included guarding food, stolen items and resting spaces, conflict around handling, and episodes where his behaviour became highly unpredictable. Importantly, specialist behavioural records showed that pain relief produced a dramatic improvement: he became easier to handle, ate more normally, responded better to requests and was substantially more manageable. That response prompted further investigation. Once in Bliss care he was found to be sensitive around the head and neck and was referred for neurological assessment. Specialist examination identified spinal pain and supported a presumptive diagnosis of Chiari-like malformation-associated pain. His Chiari Check CM-P score was 100%. ## **Not every successful rescue ends in adoption** Medication improved Ralph’s comfort and emotional regulation, but it did not remove the underlying safety risk. He therefore remains in experienced longterm foster care with Bliss, where his environment can be managed and his triggers understood. Ralph illustrates a growing challenge for rescue. Some dogs can have a good quality of life but cannot safely be placed in a conventional adoptive home. They require skilled foster care, continuing veterinary treatment and a long-term commitment from the rescue rather than a quick rehoming outcome. His case also reflects our approach to behavioural welfare: where pain may be contributing to aggression or guarding, we investigate and treat the dog in front of us rather than viewing behaviour in isolation. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 9 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **WELFARE** ## **Behavioural welfare and our 0% euthanasia** ## **rate** The number of dogs arriving with significant behavioural needs increased during the year. Resource guarding, fear, handling sensitivity, dog-to-dog conflict and bite risk can make dogs difficult to place and can require substantial changes to foster management. Bliss maintained a 0% euthanasia rate for behavioural reasons during 2024-25. No dog was euthanised simply on arrival into rescue. This does not mean every dog is safe for conventional adoption. It means that where a dog can maintain a good quality of life, we seek appropriate alternatives: veterinary investigation, pain management, experienced foster placement, environmental management and long-term care where necessary. ## **Behaviour is information** For Cavaliers in particular, pain must remain part of the assessment. Neurological disease, orthopaedic disease and other discomfort can alter tolerance, handling responses and emotional regulation. Sandy and Ralph both demonstrate why behaviour and health cannot be considered separately. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 10 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **COMMUNITY** ## **Fundraising powered the care** The generosity of our supporters remained fundamental to the charity’s ability to meet rising treatment costs.

Our monthly £1 Friday campaigns through Facebook and Instagram continued to show the extraordinary value of small donations made collectively. Online auctions and raffles provided further regular support, while targeted appeals helped fund major procedures that would otherwise place an immediate strain on reserves. Our volunteer team remained broadly stable throughout the year. In October 2025, a new voluntary Events Coordinator joined Bliss, creating additional capacity to develop physical fundraising events during the year ahead. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 11 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Finance: stable income, sharply higher care** ## **costs** Total income for the year was £232,853 - almost unchanged from £233,053 in the previous year. The financial pressure came from expenditure: direct costs increased by £22,885 to £193,606, a rise of 13.4%, while administrative expenses actually fell by £9,952 to £51,886, a reduction of 16.1%. **----- Start of picture text -----**

The charity therefore recorded a deficit of £12,639, compared with a £494 surplus in 2023-24. The figures reflect the reality described throughout this report: income held steady and overheads were reduced, but the direct cost of caring for the dogs increased substantially. ## **The key financial message** Bliss did not spend more because it expanded administration. It spent more because the dogs in its care increasingly required expensive treatment, specialist input and longer-term support. _Figures are taken from the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025. The statutory accounts and Independent Examiner’s Report are appended to this report._ Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 12 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 13 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **2025-26 PRIORITIES** ## **The year ahead** The demands of operating a medically and behaviourally complex rescue have outgrown a structure that relies almost entirely on volunteer capacity. During the next financial year, Bliss plans to strengthen the organisation so that the quality of care provided to dogs can remain sustainable. ## **Dedicated staffing** Employ one full-time and one part-time member of staff to support the increasingly complex operational, veterinary and administrative workload. ## **Volunteer-led events** Develop the voluntary Events Coordinator role, introduced in October 2025, to strengthen community fundraising and reduce pressure on core rescue operations. ## **Lifelong Support** Continue to develop the Lifelong Support scheme while carefully managing the charity’s long-term commitments to dogs with pre-existing conditions. ## **Complex case management** Maintain strong referral relationships across cardiology, neurology, internal medicine and surgery, while continuing to investigate pain where behaviour changes may be medically influenced. ## **Sustainable fundraising** Protect regular income streams such as £1 Friday, auctions and raffles while building more in-person fundraising capacity. ## **Responsible capacity** Continue to make intake decisions based on available foster expertise, existing commitments and the welfare needs of dogs already in rescue - not simply on headline intake numbers. Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 14 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE** **ANNUAL REPORT 2024-25** **OUR COMMUNITY** ## **Thank you** Every outcome in this report exists because people chose to help: fosterers who opened their homes to dogs who were frightened, painful or unpredictable; adopters willing to take on a dog with known health needs; volunteers who transported, fundraised, checked homes and handled administration; veterinary teams who worked with us through difficult cases; and supporters who donated again and again. In a year when the cost of care rose sharply, that support allowed Bliss to continue saying yes to dogs whose needs were too complex, too expensive or too long-term for an easy solution. ## **To our fosterers** You remain the heart of Bliss. Complex rescue is not simply feeding and walking a dog. It is medication schedules, hospital trips, behaviour management, disturbed nights, rehabilitation and giving a frightened dog enough time to change. ## **To our supporters** A £1 donation, a raffle ticket, an auction bid, an event ticket or a contribution to a surgery appeal all become the same thing in the end: treatment, safety and time for a Cavalier who needs it. ## **Trustees and governance** The trustees serving during the year were Rebecca Mosley, Carol Iles, Joanne O Hearne and Nicholas Fudge-Harrison. The charity is registered in England and Wales, charity number 1193078, and operates through Bliss Cavalier Rescue Ltd, company number 11617529. The trustees continue to review the charity’s financial commitments, safeguarding, foster capacity, veterinary expenditure and long-term support obligations to ensure that Bliss remains able to meet the needs of dogs already in its care as well as future rescues. ## _**For the dogs who need more than a second chance - they need time.**_ Registered Charity 1193078 | Company 11617529 Page 15 Registered number: 11617529 **BLISS CAVALIER RESCUE LTD DIRECTORS' REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025** Rebecca Beaton Accountancy Services ## **Bliss Cavalier Rescue Ltd Contents** ||**Page**| |---|---| |Company Information|1| |Directors' Report|2| |Accountant's Report|3| |Income and Expenditure Account|4| |Balance Sheet|5| |Notes to the Financial Statements|6—7| |The following pages do not form part of the statutory accounts:|| |Detailed Income and Expenditure Account|8| **Bliss Cavalier Rescue Ltd Company Information For The Year Ended 31 October 2025** |**Directors**|Mrs Carol Iles| |---|---| ||Mrs Rebecca Mosley| |**Company Number**|11617529| |**Registered Office**|REBECCA BEATON ACCOUNTANCY SERVICES WATE| ||MALTKILN ROAD| ||BARTON UPON HUMBER| ||NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE| ||DN18 5JR| |**Accountants**|Rebecca Beaton Accountancy Services| ||Waters Edge Business Centre| ||Maltkiln Road| ||Barton upon Humber| ||North Lincolnshire| ||DN18 5JR| Page 1 ## **Bliss Cavalier Rescue Ltd Company No. 11617529 Directors' Report For The Year Ended 31 October 2025** The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025. ## **Directors** The directors who held office during the year were as follows: Mrs Carol Iles Mrs Rebecca Mosley ## **Statement of Directors' Responsibilities** The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. ## **Small Company Rules** This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Page 5 **Bliss Cavalier Rescue Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 October 2025** ## 1. **General Information** Bliss Cavalier Rescue Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 11617529. The registered office is REBECCA BEATON ACCOUNTANCY SERVICES WATE, MALTKILN ROAD, BARTON UPON HUMBER, NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE, DN18 5JR. ## 2. **Accounting Policies** ## 2.1. **Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements** The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. ## 2.2. **Turnover** Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. ## **Sale of goods** Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods. ## **Rendering of services** Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably. ## 2.3. **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: |Leasehold|0| |---|---| |Motor Vehicles|25% straight line| |Computer Equipment|33% straight line| ## 3. **Average Number of Employees** Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 1 (2024: 1) ## 4. **Tangible Assets** |**Cost**
