Adoption update....  

 

Our final adoption for 2025 took place in early December..... the lovely ALVA was adopted by a CDH friend and volunteer, Romy.  was one of four Alentejo puppies that we rescued at just 4-5 days old.  The bottle feeding programme was immediately implemented and they thrived!  Still available for rehoming are Frode and Astrid.... two females who are both fully vaccinated, chipped and sterilised.

Volunteers Needed....  

 

We're really short of help at the haven..... the work is quite easy - replenishing water and food and some kennel cleaning.  The process usually takes a maximum of 1.5 hours and it helps enormously..... we usually have 2-3 volunteers working, per shift.  You'll get to meet some really nice people and of course, our amazing dogs.

We're attaching a poster here and would really appreciate it if you would spread the word..... for those who live close to the haven, perhaps a poster in a local cafe may help.  Click here if you'd like to download a copy of the poster for printing.  Thank you so much!!

Newsletter - 2025....  

 

Click here to have a look at our 2025 Newsletter!   We'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our friends, supporters and volunteers everything of the best for 2026!

 

The haven will be opening again for adoptions on 15 January..... please take a look at the poster below to see the dogs that are currently waiting for their "furever" homes.... please help us to continue to help the many strays, abandoned and surrendered dogs that are desperately in need of being rescued. 

We would also like to take the opportunity to thank all our friends, supporters and volunteers for their amazing contribution during 2025!

Volunteering, Fostering and Dog Walking....

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.  CDH 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.... our dogs are quite used to joining volunteers at a local café for a cup of coffee!   At the haven, the kettle is always ready for a drink and the biscuits are great!

We also have a dog walking group.... if you'd like to join, you'd be most welcome.  

If you're keen to volunteer, foster or join our walking group, please click here to go to our online

"Dogwalker's Application Form" and submit..... a member of the team will get back to you.  Thank you!
