Cardiff Dogs' Home

Cllr Margaret Jones, Executive Member for the Environment said: "The Cardiff Dogs Home looks after more than 1200 dogs a year, and is really committed to caring for all of the dogs in its care. I would urge anyone who has an interest in the welfare of the stray dogs of Cardiff and the work that goes into finding them new homes to think about joining the ‘Friends of Cardiff Dogs Home' group. There are many ways to support Cardiff Dogs' Home. Whether you are able to volunteer your time or make donations, no matter what you do, it all helps."

Cardiff Council has a legal duty to impound stray dogs and is solely responsible for dealing with stray dogs found in Cardiff City.
Dogs found straying will be picked up by the Dog Wardens or the public and taken to Cardiff Dogs Home which is run by Cardiff Council.

There is a legal requirement for the Council to keep the dog for seven days whilst every attempt is made to trace the owner. On the eighth day the ownership of the dog is transferred to the council and the Dogs' Home is entitled to re- home.

(Please see the links on the left of the forum for more information)

Cardiff Dogs' Home looks after more than 1200 dogs per year and
in 2010 was awarded a Silver Footprint under the 'Community Animal Welfare Footprints' awards.

This scheme was established in 2008 to celebrate, promote and reward good practice in animal welfare within the local government and housing sectors.

'The Stray Dog Footprint aims to recognise those local authorities who have clear procedures in place that ensure both the welfare of the dogs and a consistency of service.

Additionally it also recognises the importance of information and education and rewards authorities who actively promote schemes and services that may reduce the number of long-term strays and straying in the first instance, such as microchipping and neutering.'

This is the third consecutive year the award has been given to Cardiff Dogs Home.
In 2009 Councillor Margaret Jones, Executive Member for Environment said: “I am delighted that we have won this prestigious award from the RSPCA. Winning the Community Animal Welfare Footprints scheme for the second year is a fantastic achievement for our staff. It recognises the high quality service that they provide in tackling the issue of stray dogs in the City and our commitment to animal welfare in general.”

Piers Claughton, the RSPCA’s Senior Local Government Adviser, said: “The aim of the Community Animal Welfare Footprints is to recognise and celebrate those that have made an extra effort and gone beyond their basic service requirements to ensure higher welfare standards in some of the services they provide.”
