Hello, felt I should write and say why I haven't been around lately. I've been offered a work out of town so I will not be around for the summer. Looking forward to when I'm back and able to volunteer dog walk again.

As a volunteer dog walker I do my best to promote all the lovely dogs needing homes, by sharing on social media groups, chatting to people I work with and just generally trying to promote the homeless dogs of Cardiff dogs home, but it's so disappointing to hear that the last 2 people I've encouraged to go to the kennels, talk with staff and meet the dogs have both come back to me saying they found the staff rude, off and unhelpful. How can the dogs be in with a chance of rehoming if people are put off by the first face they see when they get there

oh Debs, that's so disappointing Did they leave any comments in the comments book in reception? The manager does read it. If people don't give them feeback nothing will change. So very sad to read this, I know how much you do for the dogs, and what a great advocate you are for them. Have a word, if they would like to leave some feeback they can always email us and we'll make sure it gets fed to the appropriate people and that we get a response. My email addy is friendsofthedogs@gmail.com Thanks for posting Debs

Thanks Susie, I don't know whats happening down there, they were told to return today to view the dog they put the application in for yesterday and it went from bad to worse. I'll send you privately the email she sent me, they have finally given up considering adopting a dog from CDH now, which I can't blame them for but it is such a shame

Hello. I'm in Arizona and am missing the CDH dogs a lot! I've only been volunteering at CDH for a couple of months, it's amazing how quickly I've become attached. Especially for someone who has been told she has the emotional range of a stapler. I came across a rescue shop today (photos below). They have an odd way do doing things here!

I googled them! Apparently they rehome small dogs and cats from this Mall-centre location and have another centre where they kennel the bigger pets. I used to go to Washington DC very regularly, and always visited a local rehoming centre, which was more plush than my hotel! And it was absolutely amazing to see pit bulls up for adoption, next to poodles, mixed breeds, pedigrees... Pitties are illegal in some states, but not in Maryland. pmsl at 'emotional range of a stapler' Look forward to seeing you when you get back Mel xx

This beautiful canine was not impressed with me telling him what a good and gorgeous dog he was and asking why he was all on his own. I found out later that I was attempting to befriend an alpha male wolf. Oh dear. That could have ended badly!

I picked up another big bag of blankets today from Elaine, the lovely partially sighted lady who knits/crochets these for the dogs. She's also put some nice big thick blankets in from the charity shop. I'll bring them all down with me during the week, now it's getting colder I'm sure they'll be well used
