Having rehomed over 890 dogs in 2025, Dogs Trust Cardiff is encouraging people from across South Wales to visit its rehoming centre to see how the charity can find potential adopters a four-legged friend, and to learn more about how Dogs Trust supports dog owners in the wider community.
Although only a few weeks into the year, Dogs Trust Cardiff has already rehomed its first dog of the year. Bron, the nine-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, found her forever home on 2nd January, after arriving in the charity’s care when her owner passed away. After a short stay in foster care, Bron found a loving forever home after just 30 days with the charity.
However, there are still many more dogs seeking their forever homes, including Reggie, the two-year-old New Zealand Huntaway who is looking for an active household where he can continue to build his confidence. Reggie would be happy to live with teenagers, but due to his anxiety around other dogs, would like to be the only pet in the home.
While details of all the dogs available for rehoming can be found online at www.dogstrust.org.uk/cardiff, the charity is encouraging potential owners to visit its rehoming centre to see the dogs, meet the team caring for them and ask any questions they may have about adopting.
Dogs Trust Cardiff is open to the public five days a week. You don’t need an appointment to visit, see dogs looking for homes, get advice or apply to adopt. As every dog is unique, finding the perfect match can take some time, several months in some cases. Applications to adopt last three months, and the team will do everything they can to find the right dog for you, however long it takes.
Kim Davies, Manager at Dogs Trust Cardiff, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have rehomed over 890 dogs in 2025, but every day we continue to care for many wonderful dogs who are still waiting to find their forever homes. As we look ahead to the rest of 2026, we know there is still so much work to be done.
“We’d love to welcome more people from across Wales to visit our centre, meet our dogs and our dedicated team, and see first-hand how we match dogs with the right homes. Whether you’re ready to adopt or simply want to learn more about responsible dog ownership and the support Dogs Trust offers, visiting the centre is a great place to start.”

Love seeing this. Rehoming over 890 dogs in 2025 is an incredible effort, and Bron’s story really hit home. It’s also helpful to know you can visit without an appointment and take the time to find the right match. Reggie sounds like he would thrive with someone active and patient. Hopefully more people across South Wales pop in and meet the dogs in person. Do you recommend a first visit just to chat with the team and learn the process, or is it fine to apply straight away if you feel a connection?
