A
year of success for Wood Green Animal Shelters
WOOD GREEN Animal Shelters has demonstrated its excellence in
the field of animal welfare through the pages of its Annual
Report for the year 2001/2002.
The new report, published this week, focuses on various aspects
of the charity’s work, as well as detailing its financial
performance over the period.
The animal charity, which began in 1924, not only continues
to successfully rehome the thousands of lost and unwanted animals
finding their way through its doors, the report shows that its
expertise and knowledge is enhancing this work in the best possible
way.
With the help of new animal accommodation Wood Green has improved
the rate of rehoming by halving the amount of time the animals
stay at the Shelter; from 35 days to a commendable 17 days.
This has had a knock on effect in that rehoming donations have
risen by 17%.
Peter Burton, Chairman of Trustees for Wood Green Animal Shelters,
‘Wood Green does not intend to become the largest charity
in the country, but with our supporters’ help and the excellent
work that we do, it certainly aims to be the best.’
The animal welfare charity overcame the damage caused by last
year’s Foot and Mouth crisis with the committed help of
staff, volunteers and supporters. Running the three Wood Green
sites costs the charity £10,000 a day; this would not
be possible without the continued support from these sources
and the generosity of the general public.
