I'm taking part in Cardiff Half Marathon 2025 for Hope Rescue. Hope Rescue is the leading dog welfare charity that saves the lives of strays, abandoned and unwanted dogs in South Wales. Since 2005, their team has given a second chance to thousands of dogs that need a new start, from their dedicated facilities in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

We help the most vulnerable dogs in our local communities, working closely with Local Authorities across South Wales to support them with their stray dogs and dogs seized from low welfare or illegal breeders.

They prepare dogs for their second chance at a happy life, taking time to assess their needs and find the perfect home.

They also provide valuable support to pet owners in crisis who need to rehome their pets.

Hope Rescue actively campaigns for improvements to animal welfare legislation and enforcement, and provides support and advice to the public on responsible dog ownership.
