About The Rescue Hotel
The Rescue Hotel is a passionate, volunteer-led charity dedicated to supporting the dogs at Cardiff Dogs Home. Founded in late 2019 by a small group of volunteers, our mission is to improve the lives of rescue dogs by providing essential care, funding vital resources, and ensuring they have the best possible chance of finding loving forever homes.
In April 2020, just six months after forming, we proudly became a registered charity. Since then, The Rescue Hotel has grown into a thriving community of dog lovers, working tirelessly to raise funds for veterinary care, training, new facilities, and essential supplies like food and toys.
In 2021, we opened The Rescue Hotel Health Centre, our own affordable vet practice, which is open to both members of the public and our residents. This initiative ensures that first-class veterinary care is accessible to all, providing the medical attention every dog deserves.
In 2025, we are excited to fund the complete rebuild of the centre, which will include 40 brand new, state-of-the-art kennels for the dogs, as well as improved facilities for staff and volunteers, creating a better environment for everyone involved in the care of these wonderful animals.
Dubbed “the most Rock ‘n’ Roll dog charity in the UK” by the national press, we’ve earned this title thanks to the many famous friends and supporters who have rallied behind our cause. Their generosity and advocacy help us amplify our message and give even more rescue dogs the second chance they deserve.
At The Rescue Hotel, every dog matters, and we won’t rest until each one gets the love and happiness they need.
You can’t change a dog’s past, but you can re-write their future.
