Cardiff Dogs Home has received two Gold-level RSPCA PawPrints awards.

The awards, from the UK's largest animal welfare charity, have been granted in recognition of the "outstanding" standard of kennelling and stray dog services provided at Cardiff Dogs Home.

Cabinet Member with responsibility for the Dogs Home, Cllr Norma Mackie, said: "The team at Cardiff Dogs Home have now received at least one RSPCA PawPrints Award every year since 2008 and receiving two Gold awards in one year, is a fantastic testament to their work.

"The dogs that find themselves at Cardiff Dogs Home all deserve the best care possible and these awards show that, with the help of our fantastic volunteers and support from our partner charity The Rescue Hotel, that is exactly what they get."
