The Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH), established in 1985, is the leading representative charity for dog and cat rescue and rehoming organisations across the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. With over 160 members, ADCH brings together charities large and small, united by a commitment to safeguarding welfare standards for dogs and cats needing new homes.
Members of ADCH undergo an assessment process and must demonstrate they meet the ADCH Minimum Welfare and Operational Standards, which aim to:
- Safeguard animal welfare with proportionate and realistically achievable standards.
- Protect the reputation of members and the wider sector.
Being an ADCH member demonstrates our commitment to responsibly meeting these Standards for the animals in our care.
