CDH Quiz - 13 June....
With sincere thanks to our supporters.... we could not continue with efforts to rescue, rehabilitate and search for news homes without your amazing contributions! We managed to raise €1'653.... a wonderful result. Please click here to see the photos from the quiz.

What vegetables can our dogs eat?.....
This is a question that's often asked.... there still seems to be differing views. Even if you don't subscribe to the idea of including vegetables in your dog's diet on a regular basis, this article from the "Whole Dog Journal" does clear up a few questions around what veggies our doggies can eat.

With so much gratitude to Romy.....
We are privileged to have a volunteer like Romy! Despite going through some tough times personally, our Romy with the "pink drill" has donated and constructed this fabulous little house for our cats, giving them the opportunity to leave the room in the mobile unit, through the window, and enjoy the scenery outside!




Featuring our adults waiting for their "furever" homes........
It's always with a heavy heart that we continue to see our adult dogs at CDH..... especially those who've been with us for a while. Although we're doing what we can to socialise and train our adults, taking them for walks and giving them free time in their garden, there's no substitute for a golden basket with a family that loves them. Please go to our "Doggies.... Waiting" page to see their stories.






















Volunteering and Fostering....
From time to time, CDH is in need of supporters who are able to foster a dog, usually not for more than a week or two. Whilst some families may not be able to offer a full time home to any of our rescues, it may transpire that they'd enjoy looking after a pooch for a while. Sharron will cover the related costs - food, veterinary services, etc.
We are always looking for and welcoming volunteers. The chores are not back-breaking and volunteers are encouraged to spend time socialising our rescues which is always fun for those who love animals. Apart from playing with them, volunteers take them out for a walk or a short trip to the village to get them used to strangers and other dogs. The kettle is always ready for a drink and the biscuits are great!
If you're keen to volunteer or foster, please click here to go to our "Contact Us" page and send your details to Sharron.
