News from the Rebel Alliance
June has been a fairly quiet month (as usual) for GAL. Homing figures hit rock bottom at this time of year. We won't see an increase in the numbers of dogs being re-homed 'til the end of July. It's a good opportunity to catch up on paperwork!
Sunday 20th was the monthly GAL committee meeting; this month's was a marathon 5 hour session! These meetings give the committee a good chance to hear reports from the various co-ordinators and more importantly discuss any issues arising.
Towards the end of the meeting the committee got onto discussing various long term issues effecting GAL, the main one being our need to increase the number of kennels and foster homes we have available. Over the last 6 months we've rehomed more dogs than ever before. This is down solely to our ability to cater for the number of unwanted dogs we're asked to re-home.
Essentially the more dogs we have in kennels or foster care, the more dogs we home and the quicker we can move dogs from trainers therefore the more dogs they surrender to us. There's no easy solution to this 'challenge'. Our long term aim has always been to have our own kennels, staffed and run by GAL and GAL volunteers. The problem has always been money (or lack off!).
We wait with baited breath for a VERY large donation.!
