Dog of the Week

Fostering

An alternative to adoption for people who can’t commit to having a dog permanently. This can help rehabilitate a dog into a home environment and give a puppy a good start in life. Click on the Adoption button at the top menu.

New Dogs

The safety, welfare and health of dogs in the Shelter is paramount so it’s our policy to house new dogs in an individual pen for about 10 to 14 days. This allows the Kennel Manager time to ensure that the dog is not suffering from any contagious disease and to assess the general well-being and temperament before moving it to a suitable section containing other dogs.

If you find a stray or abandoned dog, please telephone the Kennel Manager before bringing the dog to the Shelter. This will allow him time to check if there’s a suitable single pen available. Our opening hours are 08:00am to 11:00am daily.
