We're Registered!

It's official! After months of fundraising to get to the required £5,000, and several weeks of waiting and a minor amendment to our chosen Objects we are now officially a Registered Charity. We just need to wait for our charity number now. We should appear on the Charity Commission web site very shortly.

Our purpose and aims

The charity’s objects (the Objects) are

For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of dogs, and in particular Staffordshire bull terriers, which are in need of care and attention by any means which now and hereafter may be deemed to be charitable in law and particularly by:

(1) aiding dogs in distress through injury or any other cause and arranging veterinary treatment where necessary

(2) finding good and suitable new homes for dogs in our care or that come to our attention; and

(3) assisting members of the public by means of information, education or in any way whatsoever that promotes appropriate care, protection and humane treatment of dogs.

The above objects were approved by the Charity Commission as charitable in law when Registration was approved in 2009.
