risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|We currently have just aound 40 dogs in our
care awaitng their forever home and in the
past year, we successfully rehomed 56 dogs.
However, in ‘normal tmes’, this fgure would
usually be in the region of 110-120 and so our
kennelling costs are stll elevated.
There have been several underlying reasons
causing this fall, including the extraordinary
and unprecedented rise in running costs
throughout the UK. Furthermore, due to the
cost-of-living crisis, owners are having to give
up their dogs due to not being able to aford
their upkeep, coupled with a decline in the
level of people seeking to adopt a dog when
compared with the ‘ordinary tmes’.
We will always remain totally commited to
saving dogs and, with the dedicaton of our
volunteers, we are working extremely hard,
pulling out all the stops to fundraise as much as
we can, in order that we can keep being there
for our incredible hounds.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Descripton of charity’s trusts:||| |---|---|---| |Type of governing document
