BID TO SAVE A STRAY 

Bid to Save A Stray / Friend of Targoviste Rescued Dogs works primarily in the saving and rehoming of stray and abused dogs. We support among others Asociatia Sufletel Targoviste (Wonderland) which is a privately owned shelter in Romania where we currently have 1400 dogs all looking for homes after being saved from certain death at the hands of the Romanian Government in Public Shelters.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 10 years
