"I write this after the recent death of our lovely Henry (formerly known at EDCH as Top Cat) at the age of around 18, whom we adopted from the shelter in 2012.We were welcomed into the shelter and had the opportunity to meet the cats. One cat caught our eye; he had been in the shelter for four months, with little interest due to a digestive problem which needed specialist 'sensitive' food. He was also a little older than the other cats. He was let out to interact with us and we decided he was the one. I'm not sure whether the shelter still allows people to come in and meet the cats before choosing, but I do hope so.EDCH were great. Henry was neutered, had had his first round of vaccines and was and in good health other than his gut. And as soon as we put him on cereal-free food, his digestive problems disappeared.We are now acquiring a cat from Safe Haven Egypt as we would like to help the street cats abroad, but are so grateful to EDCH for giving us 13 years with our beautiful boy."

"The staff are kind and helpful. I dropped off clean blankets toys Harness and a few other pieces. I also gave a donation. They need lots of things so go on hand in clean pet things your not using every little counts."

"Rented a paddock by the prom for my dog- the large paddock. Some great agility equipment in there and plenty of fun. Not great for nervous dogs though as you do need to walk through past all the other dogs in kennels etc on the way past, but good desensitizing training on that if your pooch can handle that!"

"I've just completed the Dog First Aid course and Dog Body Language course and would definitely recommend both. Rachael and Nicole, the education officers, are friendly and welcoming and really knowledgeable. Facilities are great too. These courses are worth doing if you're a dog owner or working with dogs. You'll learn a lot. And proceeds go directly to helping the dogs and cats in their care. Fantastic 😊 x"

"Absolutely cannot speak highly enough of everyone at EDCH! As of two weeks ago, we now have four gorgeous rescue dogs from them. The ladies, and gents, are so caring and they're totally invested in what's best for the animals first and people's wants come second, as it should be. Can't thank them enough for all their hard work. So friendly and helpful too! If you're considering adopting then I definitely recommend giving them a call!"
