In the first two years nearly 500 animals were adopted but the shelter was now housing many more animals than it was designed for. Early in 2001, a piece of land with a partly built house next to the shelter became available and PAD bought it with the generous help of
Sally F.

The next 12 months were spent clearing the land and finishing the building which used up our remaining funds. Then along came a second fairy godmother, Carmen de Vigny, who offered the funds to build a new cat shelter. Carmen officially opened the new shelter on the 1st September, 2002. We are now housing over 50 feline guests!

To help us house more dogs ready for adoption, we have built 5 new kennels and these were officially opened on Sunday, August 3rd 2003, by Betty Lawrence, one of the founder members of PAD. Despite the heat, the turnout was excellent and at least one dog was adopted from the new kennels!

The money for the new kennels was raised by the energy of our volunteer fund raisers and built with the energy of volunteers.

So congratulations to everyone concerned - yet more dogs will find the kind owners that they deserve.
