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.
20th March - UPDATE - Whisky and Penny, the 10 and 9 year-olds who were re-homed a week ago have been adopted after only a few days in their new home. As you can see it didn't take them long to develop the 'How come you're eating and we're not' pose.
Have very long and happy lives Whisky and Penny. <3
FOLLOW UP - Happy Gotcha Day Rusty!
Rusty went to live with Clare 2 years ago, she adopted him through our CTRF. Looks as though he landed on all 4 paws <3
"Two years ago this bundle of furry fun moved to Wiltshire - happy gotcha day Rust. I am so lucky to have you, in all that time you have not put a paw wrong."
20th March - RESERVED -Thank you for your applications , likes and comments 🙂
19th March -UPDATE from Wendy
"Hi, Thank you for everyone's interest in Albie! I have to date had over 15 enquiries for him! I am just off to do some chores, Walk dogs see to the horses and some shopping so I will try and get back to answer questions sent in more detail later today. I am sorry to say though that there will be quite a few disappointed people as I can only choose one of you!"
18th March - In need of a new home -
ALBIE is a 13 month old wheaten brindle boy. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He is a typical bouncy young lad. He is good with other dogs but NOT cats. Due to being a little over exciteable he could go to a family with older children 10/12 yrs plus. He is learning some basic commands but as with all Cairns "come" is a challenge!!! Despite having no recall what so ever he is really good on his flexi lead and does not pull. He loves meeting dogs out on walks socialising with them really well. He would be ideally suited to an active home that can provide lots of exercise and cuddles (when he is still long enough to cuddle!)
Here is a video of Albie playing with Harriis in his foster home

He is currently in West Sussex.
Remember Scruff who went to his new home 2 weeks ago on the usual one month trial?
Well he has been officially adopted 😀 less than 2 weeks into his month's 'probation' He has a mischievous streak which apparently adds to his appeal for his new family.
Have a long and happy life Scruff.
""Scruff's owners could no longer meet his needs due to health issues so advertised him on the Internet. The C.T.R.F. stepped in and asked if they wanted our help in finding him a suitable home ""
UPDATE - Our NI Trustee has made enquiries & this little chap will be ok.
Someone is going today to see if he belongs to them but if not they have a new home waiting for him after the 7 days.
This poor dog was found in Antrim NI , he was handed in to Fenaghy Vets.** FOUND **
This poor wee man was handed into ourselves today!
He was found in the Broughshane. He is not chipped and is not neutered.
If anyone has any information please call us on 02825631999
14th March – FOLLOW UP –
John Francis our North West Trustee sent us this follow up after finding Whisky & Penny a loving new home. Thank you John!
“Whisky (Red Brindle) and Penny (Wheaten) needed a new home together as their owner wasn't in the best of health and was finding it difficult to care for them properly.
Penny really wanted to go to a home with a wildlife pond, which we managed to arrange, and she took full advantage of it on her first day.:-D
They also have a new big sister and Whisky is already playing with her.
Enjoy your new life little ones.”
