About Us

Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre is Sponsored By:

Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre was set up in August 2003.

The purpose of the charity is to rescue, care for and rehome stray, maltreated and unwanted dogs.

The charity raises funds through subscriptions, donations, sales from its charity shops in Dumfries, Dalbeattie, Annan and Newton Stewart and other fund raising events.

We are members of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) - www.adch.org.uk

Fundraising

We rely on the local community to provide the majority of the funds that keep the rescue centre going. Fund raising events are organised right across the region.

Some communities raise enough money (£1000) to sponsor a kennel of their own. So far the communities of Dalbeattie, Galloway, Moffat, Stewartry, Kirkpatrick Fleming and Kirkcudbright have sponsored kennels.

Volunteers

Whatever your talents, we can use your help! We rely on a wonderful band of volunteers that raise the funds to keep the rescue centre going and help care for the dogs in the kennels while they are waiting for new homes.

We need helpers for events, our shops in Annan, Dalbeattie and Dumfries and at the kennels near Glencaple.

We also need foster carers for dogs that do not settle well in the kennels.

Help at the kennels includes reception work, administration, gardening and DIY as well as dog-related activities. To find out more contact the centre.
