You can help the CTRF by becoming a “Friend” of the Charity and through voluntary work. Download the application form or complete the online form below to Become A Friend of the CTRF.

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.

Please tick the box indicated if you wish to volunteer further help or services or are willing to assist in transporting rescue Cairns or give short term boarding. If you wish to discuss further assisting the CTRF please write to The Secretary at the address on the Contact Us page, or contact your nearest Trustee, as listed on the Trustees page.

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

Your donations currently provide help for rescued Cairns, their veterinary treatment, boarding and transport to care.
