Exciting news for dog lovers! Cardiff Dogs Home is getting a £500,000 makeover, thanks to the fantastic support from fundraising and generous donors. The shelter, which provides a temporary home for 32 dogs searching for their forever families, is set to undergo a much-needed transformation.
The Rescue Hotel’s campaign, kickstarted back in 2020 by ambassador Sam Warburton, has finally borne fruit with significant contributions, including a hefty £180,000 from the Pets Foundation. Over the years, the shelter has seen a rise in demand, taking in around 700 dogs just last year. This renovation couldn’t come at a better time!
The redevelopment will be completed in two exciting phases. Phase one, already in progress, involves updating the old stable block, transforming it from four to a modern facility with 11 kennels. Phase two promises to replace the 40 kennels in the main building with 32 brand-new units. The goal? To significantly enhance the quality of life for these lovable pups while they wait for a new home.
A spokesperson for Cardiff Dogs Home expressed heartfelt gratitude: “This transformation is a massive step forward, made possible by the incredible support of our community.”
We’re thrilled to see these improvements and can’t wait for the grand reveal of the upgraded space for our furry friends! 🐶❤️
