CHEADLE AND DISTRICT ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY
The Society provides accommodation at private boarding kennels and catteries together with veterinary treatment for dogs and cats abandoned or unwanted by their owners within the Staffordshire Moorlands. Help is also provided for animals who have become homeless due to the ill health, hospitalisation or the death of their owner. Healthy animals are not put down.
