THE PUG DOG WELFARE & RESCUE ASSOCIATION
The charity operates throughout England and Wales through the trustees and a supporting team of volunteers to render assistance to Pug dogs in need for whatever reason by re-homing in previously vetted homes and providing immediate & essential veterinary care where required prior to said re-homing.
Objects
TO RELIEVE THE SUFFERING AND DISTRESS OF PUG DOGS IN NEED OF CARE AND ATTENTION INCLUDING VETERINARY ATTENTION.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net movement in funds of a loss of £115,545 for the year, driven by veterinary fees exceeding income. The trustees note that the charity's reserve balance has been depleted by the cost of veterinary treatment and inflation, leading to a significant withdrawal of £300,000 from long-term investments to fund operational costs. Despite these pressures, the charity maintains unrestricted funds of £988,088 and continues to operate across multiple regions.
