We would like to take this opportunity to thank Welfare for their support for us during the time we have been with them.
Alison and David Oakden
I apologise for the absence of blogs last week. The reason for this is that on Monday I resigned from SBT Welfare. I had hoped the above statement would be on the website soon afterwards to inform everyone but this has not been possible.
Obviously this will have a huge impact on Guildford Staffords especially as we relied on them for the majority of our funding.
In the long term we hope to make Guildford Stafford Rescue into a charity in its own right, in the short term we need to keep running for the next few weeks providing for the six dogs currently in our care.
We have recently paid our vet bill and do not have any outstanding debts.
Due to recent donations we have about £200 remaining in the bank, although we do need to get insurance.
We have had some encouragement in the past week.
Poppy has been fully adopted and we have the donation for her.
I emptied the collection tin from our vets and there was over £50 which will pay for food for a while and in the charity bin at Pets at Home there was an almost full, large bag of food, exactly the type and flavour we feed (a huge coincidence) that had been ripped when they were unloading it from the lorry, this will also keep us going for a while.
Several people have pledged their ongoing support for us which means such a lot at a time like this.
Thank you for your good wishes for Dave as he started his new job. He managed his first four days and is now preparing for next week. I managed at home without him though it was a particularly busy week for me and my feet hardly touched the ground. Today however I spent some rare time in the garden, which together with being at the ponies is one of the places I most love to be.

The HOPE, The STRUGGLE and The HARD WORK towards a goal/ success is part of the rewards. Achieving goal itself is not the whole reward. Wishing you good luck and hope everyone continues to support you and GDSBTR.
