Our Charity Commission Mission Statement: Front line pound rescue of lost/abandoned dogs due for destruction after 7 days saving those not taken by other rescues. 25k+ dogs rescued to-date. Unique in funding vet treatment in pounds and transport to other rescues. Highlighting and improving pound conditions. 100% donations spent directly on the dogs. Public information and education. Unconditional Rescue regardless of breed, age or veterinary condition. Although we are still dedicated to the pound dog our mission to help the neediest dogs has led us to rescue from additional sources: at the request of the police, dogs who had been released from police kennels; at the request of vets, dogs who had been brought in by their owners for euthanasia; at the request of social services, the dogs of people who are ill or in dire circumstances; dogs at risk because their rescues had been forced to close down; dogs in dangerous life-threatening situations such as those at risk of being used for baiting and fighting, owned by drug gangs or back street breeders. As one of the rare retraining facilities also used by the courts we have the skill and expertise to retrain and resocialise dogs who have failed to receive the training they needed and thus find them the homes they always deserved The pandemic and post pandemic period which has produced a national animal welfare crisis in the UK has overwhelmed the rescue world with such failed dogs and placed the severest burden on our services. Our criteria for intake is simply the dog's need as the dog is imminently due to be put to sleep and no other rescue offer is available in time to save their lives and we are known as 'Their Last Chance to live'. Post the pandemic we are now inundated with requests to save such dogs and have tried to catch as many as we can as they fall but we are severely struggling under this massive burden. We are all unpaid volunteers paying our own expenses, have no administration charges and hold no reserves thus we are able to save the maximum number of lives with the funds we receive. We are open help a dog 365 days a year 24 hour a day.
