THE ASSOCIATION OF DOGS AND CATS HOMES EXPANDS TO SECURE A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR RESCUE ANIMALS

The Association of Dogs and Cats Homes is to open its doors to more like-minded rescue organisations. Since 1985 the Association has helped to improve the standard of care for rescued dogs and cats. With over 50 members the Association is now introducing a new category of associates to enable even more charities to benefit from its membership.

Being a member of The Association of Dogs and Cats homes is a unique way of networking with other organisations to develop best practice across the animal welfare industry. Many rescues are small organisations unable to attend regular meetings but could greatly benefit from the expertise within it as well as sharing their own valuable experience with other members. Clarissa Baldwin Chairman of ADCH explains

“Opening up membership to associates must be the next step in the Association’s development. In embracing more animal welfare workers under one roof, there will be huge advantages to the welfare of our dogs and cats whilst in the care of rescue homes. Keeping open dialogue with our animal welfare counterparts, embracing new ideas and pushing the boundaries in the build of new state-of-the-art shelters will undoubtedly secure a better future for rescue animals.”

For a membership fee of £25 per annum, associates can access The ADCH Forum, which entitles members to exchange knowledge and experience, provide mutual support as well as combine resources to encourage Governments to introduce workable, pet welfare legislation.

Associate members will also be able to attend meetings where specific topics are discussed with professionals in their field. They will be able to glean advice from top UK experts as well as meet other senior personnel from all sectors of the animal rescue industry including veterinary services, environmental health and local authorities.

The ADCH is open to any charitable organisations /NGO’s within the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. For further information about joining the Association please visit www.adch.org.uk
