Farm Dog Rescue Program Appeal - Costing Details The appeal below is now closed. This page is Archived and here for informational purposes only. The opening section below was written in April 2002. £49.585 was needed to pay the costs of processing the 211 dogs rescued under the program if we were to fulfil all the criteria we wanted. The appeal did not raise that much in cash, however we did save considerable expenditure because we had some goods and services donated FOC from Pet Food manufacturers, Vets, Veterinary Suppliers, Disinfectant suppliers and many other companies with products we needed to use on the program. Although we did not receive any Government or Ministry funding, in spite of efforts on our behalf by The Right Honourable William Haque, leader of the Conservative Party and other MP's, MAFF made some donations 'in kind' and saved us some expenditure as well. Members of the public also contributed in kind by donating food and equipment and even paying for some veterinary services direct to save our funds. Many of the people who adopted dogs we rescued under the program took on the financial burden of neutering or spaying the dogs they took on or having them microchipped - this also saved us some funds. Thanks to the efforts of BCR volunteers, the general public, many dog training clubs and societies and some businesses, the program was successfully run until the lifting of F&M restrictions by DEFRA when our service was able to return to normal. Our thanks & God Bless to you all.

Our calculations indicate that at least £235 will be needed to cover the basic costs for each dog coming through this program. This is an averaged figure. This does not take into account any additional veterinary attention needed that may be apparent when a dog comes into our care. Nor does this take into account any capital expenditure needed for tools and equipment, protective clothing, transport and vehicle disinfection.
This figure covers and includes the following over a period of 7 weeks from the time that a veterinary practitioner gives initial inoculations to the dog - for each dog.
Labour and TLC comes free with BCR. Most of these dogs are Border Collies, but also include
some New Zealand
These figures are based on average costs of these processes to our organisation, taking in to consideration the discounts we normally get on commercial prices and direct quotations for the kennelling costs, averaged over the units we are using in different parts of the country. In most
Clever shopping and much begging may reduce these costs in terms of actual cash needed. We have already had some Disinfectant, Microchips, Recreational Aids, Dog Food and Treats, Plastic beds and Bowls donated by manufacturers and individuals. We may also get some additional 'Bulk' discounts for some of the veterinary procedures. Most of the veterinary practices we are contacting are offering discounted services to assist in the program.
As part of the arrangement we have made with
MAFF / DEFRA to enable this unique program to operate, our operatives need to attend each
farm and disinfect dogs before they are
We are lucky in respect that we have received a donation of 50 sets of category 3 Biohazard coveralls for the use of decontamination operatives and another 25 sets of category 1 suits for the use of operatives outside the premises who will handle, rinse and dry the disinfected dogs. This has save us over £350 but a few more will need to be purchased to cover the program to date.
Our current estimates indicate that we will need to raise around £49,620 to cover the dogs already registered on this program. The current response to the appeal has raised just over £22,000 in cash and kind so far. In addition to this there are a number of planned events and some pledges from other organisations. These dogs are not being 'dumped' as some individuals are suggesting. These dogs are being reluctantly passed into our care by owners who are concerned about the welfare of the animals and wish them to have a better future and a chance to get back to work quickly.
Please help if you can - One off donations by Cheque or Postal Order made out to - Border Collie Rescue Welfare Fund - will boost our cash fund underwriting the program.
If you think you can assist by a contribution of goods, please call us to discuss the needs of the program. After Foot and Mouth is eradicated life will go on for us all. Please support this program to ensure that life will go on for these dogs as well.
