ADCH is delighted to celebrate Marina Fiddler, ADCH Trustee and co-founder of MADRA (Mutts Anonymous Dog Rescue and Adoption), on receiving an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Galway.

As part of the recent open meeting at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront, we were pleased to host a wellbeing session focused on the emotional wellbeing of shelter staff and volunteers.

We are excited to announce the introduction of Solidarity Membership, an initiative that strengthens collaboration and shared impact across our sector. This new membership opportunity is aimed at organisations in Band A, offering them a unique way to deepen their partnership with ADCH and demonstrate their unwavering commitment to advancing dog and cat welfare.

As we approach the end of 2024, we extend our sincere thanks to Peter Laurie, who will step down as Secretary of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) after more than a decade of dedicated service.

We’re excited to welcome RSPCA Norwich to the ADCH community as our newest Full Member.

We are pleased to announce the opening dates for membership applications to the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) in 2025.

At the end of this year, Peter Laurie will step down as Secretary of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH), bringing to a close over a decade of dedicated service.
