MISSION STATEMENT
We are dedicated to finding the perfect home for every dog we rescue. Entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our mission is driven by love, compassion, and a commitment to giving each dog the best possible life.
Annual Report 2025 2
TRUSTEE REPORT
Overview
The 2024–25 financial year was a demanding one for Helping Hounds Hampshire. Fewer dogs entered the rescue and were adopted than during the exceptional previous year, while several dogs required costly emergency treatment or long-term veterinary care. Despite these pressures, our volunteers continued to provide every dog with the time, treatment and individual support they needed.
Dogs in our care
During the year, 38 dogs entered our care. Eleven came from within the UK and 27 came from overseas: 20 from Cyprus and seven from Romania.
Our records show 50 adoption placements involving 44 individual dogs. The difference reflects six dogs who were returned by adopters and subsequently needed our help again. Of the 44 individual dogs homed, 16 originated in the UK and 28 came from abroad. Twelve dogs admitted during the year remained in our care, or had not completed an adoption, by 31 October 2025.
This was a significant reduction from the 97 dogs homed during 2023–24. That was an exceptional year in which we received several large groups of dogs, including puppies, from stray dog pounds in Cyprus.
These dogs were often readily adoptable and generally spent less time in kennels or foster care. However, managing such numbers placed considerable and ultimately unsustainable pressure on our homing, fostering, kennel and administrative teams.
At the beginning of 2024–25, we also stepped in to support Lotus, a UK rescue that was gradually closing its Romanian operation. Seven dogs were transferred into our care over several months. Some had come from extremely difficult shelter conditions and needed considerable time, patience and rehabilitation before they could be rehomed. With only three kennels on site, caring for these dogs reduced our capacity to accept others.
We also cared for several Cypriot dogs on behalf of Stronger Together Animal Rescue. In these cases, Stronger Together arranged the adoption contracts and received the adoption fees, although Helping Hounds provided accommodation, care and volunteer support.

Veterinary Care
Veterinary expenditure increased by 122%, from £14,337 to £31,914. This was driven by several serious health emergencies, including treatment for four dogs, Dickie, Millie, Duke and Daiquiri costing respectively over £7000, £4,800, £4,371 and £4,000. Some of these dogs also required continuing treatment and monitoring.
Dedicated fundraising campaigns helped to meet part of these costs. However, approximately £2,950 raised through Facebook was still awaiting payment from PayPal Giving Fund at the year end. Because these donations are transferred in bulk during the following month, they will appear in the 2025–26 accounts rather than alongside the treatment costs they were raised to support.
The increased emphasis on helping UK dogs also affected the balance of our expenditure. Overseas dogs generally arrive having already been vaccinated, neutered and prepared for travel, with these costs recorded under transport and preparation. UK dogs often require this work after entering our care, so the reduction in overseas intake contributed to a 65% fall in transport and preparation costs while increasing UK veterinary expenditure.
During the year, we also made greater use of Pawprints Vets’ mobile service for examinations, vaccinations and blood tests. Although mobile appointments can cost more than a surgery visit, they reduce transport demands on volunteers and provide a far less stressful option for dogs needing frequent care, particularly long-term residents such as Millie.
Income and Fundraising
Total income was £59,740, compared with £84,412 in the previous year. Adoption fee income fell in line with the lower number of dogs homed, while fundraising income reduced from £9,238 to £3,399.
During the year, we invested in a branded gazebo for use at community events. This was supported by a grant received from East Hampshire District Council in September 2024, during the previous financial year. The gazebo provides the charity with a professional, reusable presence at fundraising and awareness events, although the grant income and related expenditure consequently appear in different reporting periods.
Donations remained strong, increasing slightly from £26,688 to £27,854. This continuing support was particularly important during a year in which veterinary costs placed considerable pressure on our reserves.

Supporting other rescues
Donations to other rescues reduced from £3,775 to £1,751. The previous year’s figure included a one-off payment of £2,343 to Romania Animal Rescue, funding the neutering of 118 dogs and cats during our 2024 campaign. We were unable to repeat the campaign during 2024–25 but hope to support another in 2025–26.
During the current year, we responded to specific emergency requests from overseas rescues. Most of this support went to our principal Romanian rescue partner to help provide dog food and meet urgent veterinary bills. Requests are considered individually and approved by the volunteer Core Team, which includes all trustees.
Operational Improvements
Repairs and maintenance expenditure returned to a more typical level after the previous year’s expansion of the kennel garden and construction of a washroom and volunteer toilet.
We nevertheless improved our facilities by adding an office and a cabin. Both were donated second-hand and erected without charge by our volunteers, allowing us to enhance the rescue environment at minimal cost.
Financial position and outlook
The charity recorded an operating deficit of £4,036, while cash reserves reduced from £22,145 to £15,890. Net assets at 31 October 2025 stood at £18,131.
Although the reduction in reserves is significant, it reflects our decision to provide essential care during an unusually difficult veterinary year. Our reserves exist to ensure that treatment decisions are guided by a dog’s welfare and not solely by cost.
As we move forward, we will continue to balance the number and needs of dogs entering our care against the capacity of our volunteer teams and facilities. Strengthening our foster network, rebuilding veterinary reserves and developing sustainable fundraising will remain priorities.
None of our work would be possible without our volunteers, foster carers, adopters, donors, rescue partners and supporters. The trustees extend their sincere thanks to everyone whose time, compassion and generosity enabled us to continue helping dogs in need throughout this challenging year.

ENSURING OUR WORK DELIVERS OUR AIMS
44 DOGS HOMED
The main objective of the year continued to be to relieve the suffering of unwanted dogs by bringing them into our care and finding each one the right forever home in which to flourish.
We homed 44 dogs, which comprised 16 from UK shelters or owner surrenders and 28 originally from abroad. Six dogs were returned by adopters during the year and came back into our care as owner surrenders.
Of the 27 overseas dogs that entered the rescue during the financial year:
-
20 came from Cyprus
-
7 came from Romania (via a rescue closing down)
Among the 28 overseas dogs adopted during the year:
-
23 were from Cyprus
-
5 were from Romania

SUPPORTING LOCAL RESCUES
In addition to the dogs we home directly, Helping Hounds works with other local rescues, providing them with kennel space for their dogs until homes are found. This is done at no charge to these rescues, and we provide food and volunteer resources to care for the dogs.

FUNDRAISING SALE
Our Pop Up Pet Shop Fundraising Sale on 16 August was a great success!
It takes a LOT of organising by our team who spend the weeks prior to the sale sorting merchandise and creating promotional materials for print and online.
The day before the event, the van is packed with the first load, and a team at the sale venue are at the ready to unpack the van and set up the sale tables whilst the van returns to our kennels for the next load!
It’s a busy few hours of selling, chatting with the public, and catching up with adopters. That’s followed by the mammoth task of packing everything up again to get it back to storage for the next sale!
We are extremely grateful to the dedicated team who organised the sale and coordinated our volunteers, as well as everyone who baked cakes, served refreshments, ran the tombola and raffles, or staffed a sales table.

VET EXPENSES
Our vet fees have risen 122% in 2024/25, due to emergency care, changes in vet usage, and the move towards rehoming more UK dogs.
Costs associated with UK dogs:
As part of our commitment to transparency, we feel it is important to highlight the financial and resource implications of taking in dogs from UK council stray dog centres.
Dogs entering rescue from these environments frequently arrive with:
- No vaccination history Not neutered Undiagnosed medical conditions Behavioural challenges requiring intervention
As a result, the cost of rehabilitation often significantly exceeds adoption donations.
IN 24/25 WE PAID EMERGENCY VET CARE FOR:
-
Dickie (£7,300),
-
Millie (£4,800 and ongoing) Duke (£4,371),
-
Daiquiri (£4,000 and ongoing).
MILLIE
In June, our beloved Millie, who lives at the rescue with her sister, became seriously ill with precursor-targeted immunemediated anaemia (PIMA), a rare, nonregenerative condition in which the immune system attacks the cells responsible for producing new red blood cells.
Millie’s body was unable to produce the red blood cells she needed, placing her health and ultimately her life at serious risk.
She required ongoing medication and monitoring, specialist treatments to suppress the immune attack and blood transfusions to support her recovery.
Little Dickie, just 2 years old was surrendered to us by his family in London who could no longer keep him. He came to us with no medical history and was neutered whilst in foster. He had a very severe, adverse reaction to the Metacam prescribed to manage his post-operative pain. Gastric issues resulted in emergency vet treatment, a week in hospital and a large vet bill of £7,300 for emergency care and hospitalisation.

KENNEL UPGRADES - THE NEW CABIN PROJECT
Most of our work is carried out by volunteers without the additional expense of contractors.

Annual Report 2025 14
Three volunteers worked all weekend to dismantle the cabin at the donor’s home and two volunteer drivers brought the components to kennels where another team were on hand to unload the vehicles.
The following weekend, another team of three volunteers prepared the site and rebuilt the cabin, with additional helpers joining them throughout the day. All the cabin’s contents, including an air-conditioning unit, were generously donated second-hand.

ABOUT US
Helping Hounds is a dog charity dedicated to finding the perfect home for every dog. Entirely volunteer managed and run, our kennels are based in Grayshott, with a network of fosterers in the surrounding area.
Purposes and aims
The main objective of the charity is to relieve the suffering of abandoned and neglected dogs by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs from the UK and abroad.
Compassion knows no borders
We believe every dog deserves a loving home, regardless of where they come from. That's why we rescue and rehome owner-surrendered or abandoned dogs from the UK, but also as far afield as Romania, Greece, Cyprus and even Egypt.
Our approach
We’re not in a hurry to rehome our dogs; instead, we focus on building their trust, confidence, and social skills while they stay with us.
Our kennels provide a safe and nurturing environment for as long as it takes to prepare each dog for their forever home, and our network of foster homes enables us to maximise our ability to help dogs in need.
Our foster homes play a crucial role in our mission, providing temporary, loving home environments where dogs can thrive while waiting for their forever homes.
Our commitment
Every dog we rescue is unique, and so is our approach to finding them the right home. We take the time to understand each dog's personality, needs, and quirks, ensuring they find a family that suits them perfectly.
Join us in our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need. Together, we can make a difference, one wagging tail at a time. Thank you for your support and compassion!

THANK YOU
Looking back on a particularly challenging year, we are reminded that we are sustained by the compassion and commitment of an extraordinary community.
Our volunteers, foster carers, adopters, donors, supporters, rescue partners, core team and trustees have each played a vital part in giving dogs the safety, care and second chances they deserve.
This year brought complex medical emergencies, rising veterinary costs and dogs needing longer periods of care and rehabilitation. Through it all, you gave your time, opened your homes, raised vital funds, transported and cared for dogs, supported our events and stood beside us when the need was greatest.
Your generosity enabled us to make decisions based on each dog’s welfare, not simply the cost of their care.
Thank you for your kindness, resilience and belief in our work.
Every dog helped this year is a reflection of what we can achieve together.
