We think the biggest hold up with our charity application is they don't know where to put us. We would be entitled to land and due to the number of animals we have, we can't be anywhere in town but again can't be out in the middle of nowhere. Ideally we need another farm with dog walking facilities but I believe these are all privately owned and I doubt anyone will voluntarily give up a farm for a rescue shelter.

The statement on the website is a good idea - we don't need to post individual receipts but a monthly list showing exactly what we spent at the vets, on food, in rent etc might put a lot of minds to rest. To be honest we've never had people question what we do with the money before so we've never needed to.

Though again - if anyone wants to take the accounts off our hands we'd be more then happy to hand it all over!!
