To become a Friend we ask a small membership fee of just GBP 5 a year and for this you receive an annual newsletter with an update of the CTRF activities, together with stories, events and other items of interest.
A Friend may simply support the charity in this way by being a member, although others may wish to give further assistance either by offering a further donation or by choosing to do extra activities to assist Cairns in need, or by becoming a Volunteer Helper.
A Volunteer Helper can assist Cairn rescue dogs and their owners in whatever capacity he or she is willing and able, and in a variety of ways.
Volunteer Helpers may be able to help in collecting rescued Cairns or short-term boarding, or in assisting to transport dogs in need of rescue to a Trustee.
Other Volunteers are able to assist by helping the elderly, ill or disabled Cairn owners to walk or care for their dogs, offer practical help with dog walking, grooming, vet visits or even temporary boarding while the owner is in hospital. These actions allow such people to continue to enjoy the invaluable warm companionship their Cairn provides, and without such help they would not be able to keep a pet.
Some Volunteers help Trustees raise funds at “Cairn Fun Days” and fund raising events, or do other volunteer actions to help the charity, by running stalls, help with catering, & experienced members run dog agility and fun dog competitions or dog grooming demonstrations.
The CTRF very much relies on donations to fund the cost to rescue and care for Cairn Terriers in need. These funds are crucial to the rescue work and make our actions possible
The CTRF Trustees ultimately have a dream to eventually be able to afford the establishment of a sanctuary and rescue centre designated to Cairn Terriers, so there is a central point where the dogs can be cared for and re-homed after rescue, and also where elderly Cairns or others that cannot be re-homed can stay.
Your donations currently provide help for rescued Cairns, their veterinary treatment, boarding and transport to care, however we also hope eventually to accumulate enough resources to fund such a sanctuary and make the dream a reality.
Members of the public or Friends who wish to make a donation may do so by sending a cheque or postal order to The Secretary, or by using the Paypal link at the bottom of this page.
16th Jan - Can anyone advise Peter & Ann please? Thank you in anticipation <3
Please note it's always best to go to your vet for any advice regarding your dog, not all dogs are the same. This post is to ask for Cairn owners experiences and not to give out medical advice.
"We rescued Oscar through your Trustee Anne Weaver 5 years ago and as I have told Anne many times he’s been the joy of our life ever since.
Approx 18 months ago our vet diagnosed Cushings Disease mainly due to his new massive drinking needs and the ever searching for food plus blood tests. Although the vet said only early days and not needing any treatment we are very worried and wondered if you had come across this problem with other Cairn owners who could offer any advice."
I have come to the conclusion that Cairn Terriers are educated in body mass and angles due to there ability spread there weight so they don't damage over weight a certain areas as this picture shows I only left sofa to make a cup of tea now I am sitting on chair to the side of TV lol yep Oscar and Sally chilling

14 Jan 2020 We are so sorry to hear this sad news. Roo was rehomed back in 2013 aged 10 through our Rescue.
Thank you Gary , for giving him a loving home with you and Sheenagh. R.I.P dear Roo 💔💔It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Roo Thomas-Collins. He fought very bravely until the end but it was too much for him to bear. With the help of his marvellous vet Harry Warwick we helped him on with his last journey yesterday. Roo will be safe in the hands of his two nans. Nanny Collins will be serving up egg and chips while nanny Thomas will no doubt be dishing up pie and chips. We miss him tremendously. He was a big part of our lives and the void he leaves will be difficult to fill. At 16 he had a long and happy life. Although we were only privileged to have him in our lives for the past 6 years he will live in our hearts forever.
Thank you to everyone who sent messages of support. We thank the Cairn Terrier Rescue UK, firstly for letting us adopt him, and secondly for the care and attention that they gave him throughout his time with us.
Gary Thomas, Sheenagh, and Lucy Lu
