Stokenchurch Dog Rescue Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2024
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
We love dogs and work hard to provide them with the best care. We couldn’t do it without help. We are grateful for the dedication, come rain or shine, of our staff, volunteers, and supporters. This year we took in 107 dogs and found new homes for 99 dogs with an average of 37 dogs in kennels each month of the year. We are proud to have achieved impressive results from an inspection and assessment by the Association of Dogs & Cats Homes (ADCH).
Like other rescues, we have noticed an increase in the number of public requests to take in dogs with more complex needs. These dogs require a longer stay in the kennels due to the training, behavioural, and/or medical interventions they need. We broke a new record in the year under review with our annual vet bill exceeding £54,000.
Minnie – who had her second eye removed and patiently awaits a new caring owner
Overall, this year we had a 60% increase, from 163 to 269, in public requests to hand in a dog. This was alongside a noticable decrease in the number of people interested in adopting a rescue dog. It appears the cost-of-living crisis is hitting hard, potentially compounded with the rising cost of veterinary care and the poor breeding practices of the recent years. It also appears people are giving up on their dogs more quickly with some wanting to hand over their dog after only a week.
Faced with increasing costs across all areas of our operation we have reluctantly decided to raise membership rates and our adoption fees in 2024.
We remain committed to our objective of helping as many dogs as we can for as long as they need our help. We are always delighted when we find suitable homes for our long stay dogs and this has been the case with a few dogs this year:
Extract from Shira’s story by Sylwia who welcomed her home -
“Amidst the bustle of eager adopters and wagging tales, there was a gentle soul named Shira. She had been waiting patiently at Stokenchurch Dog Rescue for over 1,645 days. Despite the challenges of discovering and getting to know the outside world, she's making remarkable progress. With each passing day, Shira's trust in us as her guardians grows stronger, a testament to the power of patience and unconditional love. If you're thinking about welcoming a rescue dog into your life, remember Shira's story. Don't overlook some dogs”
Like many in the rescue sector, we have struggled to find a new Senior Dog Trainer. This aspect of our work is important in providing the vital training and stimulation for dogs both pre-adoption and post-adoption. It appears many in this field prefer to work for themselves and so we have followed the market in contracting an independent dog trainer.
In further efforts to find new homes for our rescue dogs, we have made improvements to the website profiles of our dogs. Additionally, we have included more dogs onto our discretionary fund, through which we allocate some of our limited funds towards the costs of medications for those of our long-stay dogs adopted with ongoing medical conditions.

In another sign of the times, we have seen a significant increase in the arrival of abandoned puppies and undisclosed pregnant bitches. In 10 months, we have cared for an unprecedented 22 puppies. One of these puppies, Dash, fell seriously ill with Parvo resulting in a veterinary bill of over £5,000. This pushed our vet bill for that month to a record £12,000.
