OLDIES CLUB
We take in dogs aged 7 and over and place them into foster homes until new homes can be found for them. Those that cannot be rehomed due to health/behavioural issues stay in permanent foster care and we cover their costs for life. We give lifetime back up and support to all dogs we take in. We cover all veterinary costs whilst the dogs are in foster care.
Objects
TO ASSIST IN THE PROVISION AND MAINTENANCE OF CARE AND SHELTER FOR STRAY, NEGLECTED AND UNWANTED DOGS, IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY OLDER DOGS, AND TO ASSIST IN THE PROTECTION OF DOGS FROM ILL USAGE, CRUELTY AND SUFFERING.
