CLYMPING DOG SANCTUARY
www.clympingdogsanctuary.co.uk
Clymping Dog Sanc tuary take in unwanted and stray dogs and also dogs from owners who find they can no longer keep them. They never judge. They care for and keep the dogs, until they find loving, forever homes for them. They never put a clinically healthy dog down, so sometimes they have a few long term residents with them until the right owner comes along.
DOGS COME FIRST AND THEY GIVE THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED
Clymping Dog Sanctuary provides a safe refuge for many vulnerable dogs. Sadly some owners decide they no longer want, or can care for their dogs and surrender them. Other times these dogs are found as strays. They look after them all, until they can find their rightful place in a loving forever home. If They cannot find them the right home, they will always have one with them at the Sanctuary, and they will love them. They never put a healthy dog down.
THE SANCTUARY IS RUN SOLELY BY VOLUNTEERS They often receive wounded dogs in desperate need of medical attention or on the brink of starvation. There is no greater reward than seeing a dog fully restored and filled with joy. As an organisation run solely by volunteers they rely heavily on people’s donations.

2. CHARITY NAME: Drone to Home CHARITY WEBSITE: https://dronetohome.org.uk/Home (Drone to Home and videos of their work can be seen on Facebook)
CHARITY COMMISSION REGISTRATION NUMBER (essential information): 1198796
DATE OF REGISTRATION: 29th April 2022 ACCOUNTS TO BE UP TO DATE:
BRIEF PRECIS OF AIMS/ACTIVITIES OF THE CHARITY: Drone to Home is the first UK charity that uses drones to search for missing dogs. They use thermal drones to provide free search and rescue services in England and Wales. They also support lost dog owners in other ways e.g. via use of various communications media to highlight the missing dog in local areas and beyond. They also educate people on what to do (and not to do) if they see a lost animal. As their services are free for the users, they rely on donations. They have a helpline for reporting lost, sighted or found dogs. Drones are
operated by specialists and they use staff and volunteers trained to understand the behaviour of frightened and lost dogs who assist and support the owners to approach and secure their lost animals once they have been located by the drone. Although they occasionally help with finding other lost species, most of their work focuses on dogs and to date, they have found thousands of lost dogs (sometimes missing for several days) and reunited them with their owners. These include a Great Dane who fell into a disused well, so couldn’t be seen from the surface and was only located, after nightfall, using a thermal drone. They have also found dogs lost in thick brambles and woods, dogs stuck in mud on river and canal banks and elderly dogs who have become confused, disoriented and too tired and frightened to walk any further. The videos on their website and Facebook page show the joy and relief of both dog and owner when they are reunited.
