Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue.

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “After Covid it was calculated that 3 million more households in the UK had acquired pets, most of them dogs. Many of these people were first time dog owners who, when the pandemic passed, became disillusioned with what seemed like a good idea at the time, and decided to give up the dogs they had foolishly bought. The flood of unwanted dogs began and it is still the case that charities like ourselves are bearing the brunt of these bad decisions.”
• “PADS is now 35 years old. For the very first time in our history last year we had to draw up a waiting list of people who wanted us to take their dogs for rehoming. This year we have been 'full up' on more occasions than ever before.”
• “Our annual 'Scrufts' dog show in Dunning in August was, as usual, a resounding success.”
• “Our biggest job during the year was to re-fence all of PADS boundaries, from the entry gates to the top of the rear area behind the main building and from the railways lines beyond the therapy garden to the outer wall of the garage. The old fences, which had weathered the storms since 1990, were in a sorry state and crying out to be replaced. This was a big job, costing £24,000, but one which gave these areas security and safety for our dogs.”
• “A new wall unit was installed in our quarantine block to stop condensation, and a new immersion heater tank was fitted in the main kennel building. Our domestic washing machines were reaching their final days and were replaced by a new commercial-sized washing machine unit from a company which supplies other animal charities, i.e the SSPCA, Cat Protection and Dogs' Trust.”
• “We have completed the tiling in the kennels and corridors of 2 of the 4 wings in the main building. Again, this is an expensive operation so we decided to complete one wing per annum.”
• “We now have the Starlink satellite system which works like a dream and gives us a decent, dependable signal day and night to carry out PADS business.”
• “This year we opened up ground at the rear of the main kennels building as an additional exercise area for dogs. And they love it!”
• “In February, 2025, we were pleased to show this new area and the rest of the kennels to Jim Fairlie, MSP for Perthshire South and Kinross, and Minister for Agriculture and Connectivity. He was delighted and eager to praise our charity.”
• “In the last year we have successfully placed 52 dogs with new adopters who will love and care for them for the rest of their lives.”
