Overview

Gambling Connection: DOGS 4 RESCUE CIC holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, almost certainly to operate a society lottery as a fundraising mechanism for its animal rescue activities. It isn't a commercial gambling operator.

DOGS 4 RESCUE CIC was incorporated on 20 June 2017 as a community interest company based in Manchester. Its SIC classification covers other personal service activities rather than gambling directly, but the company holds a UKGC licence to run a society lottery, likely to raise funds for its animal rescue mission. That charitable purpose sets it apart from commercial gambling operators.

The company's status at Companies House is listed as converted-closed, which means it has been converted to another legal form or has ceased to exist in its original structure. This is a material fact for anyone researching the company, as it indicates the entity operating under this registration is no longer active in its prior form. It's worth checking whether the organisation continues under a successor entity.

DOGS 4 RESCUE CIC scores 66 out of 100, placing it in the C grade band. The main drag on that score is the converted-closed status and the fact that its accounts haven't been filed for over 19 months. The governance side is relatively straightforward: two UK-resident directors and a single individual PSC with majority control.

Governance

The company has two current directors, both British and UK-resident. Ownership is held by a single individual PSC with 75 to 100 per cent of shares and voting rights. That's a straightforward, concentrated ownership structure with no offshore or corporate layers.
