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.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net movement in funds of a loss of £140,462 for the year ended 31 December 2024, driven by charitable expenditure of £341,082 against total income of £169,218. The trustees' report notes that veterinary bills form most of the expenditure and are unpredictable, resulting in a depleted reserve balance. Despite this, unrestricted funds carried forward remain at £1,104,833.
