style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many pet owners said that while Cardiff Dogs Home does a good job, they would still welcome another rehoming service.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPerhaps CDH isn&#8217;t at capacity but there are other pounds in Wales, as well as nationwide which are struggling,\u201d said airline worker Emma Gray. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEvery additional rescue space is a chance to save another dog, no matter where they come from.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt seems a lot of dog rescues in areas surrounding Cardiff often have to turn people away so it\u2019s great to have more options for people who sadly have to re-home their pets,\u201d said student Cerys Pearson.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cI also think the increased number of opportunities for people wanting to get involved in working in rescue in Wales is exciting.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI can\u2019t understand why CDH aren\u2019t welcoming this,\u201d said former veterinary nurse Holly Brinkworth, who noted how often the service takes to social media to find homes for strays. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAs long as the dogs have a safe place to be where they will be looked after and not left out in the cold, I can\u2019t see it being a bad thing.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marketing manager Louise Llewellyn-Jones, who owns three rescue dogs, also supported the plans.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI honestly can\u2019t understand how a multi-million pound investment into improving the welfare of stray dogs in the capital city of Wales can possibly be seen as a bad thing,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cCDH might not be running at full capacity at the moment, but they have been in the past and almost certainly will in the future.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Dogs Trust would have undertaken a great deal of research into the requirement for a rehoming centre in Cardiff before drawing up plans, and this research would have been scrutinised many times by many individuals.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, healthcare company trainer Jan Rees-Richards felt the money might be better placed elsewhere. \u201cIf we hand all the millions proposed to build the new Dogs Trust centre to local and smaller dog rescues, they could work miracles with it,\u201d she said.<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21485\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\"
