It is with heavy hearts that we have to let you know of the passing of Arthur over the rainbow bridge.
 
Arthur was a such special boy, with a massive personality, who in his short time with CDCH touched the lives of everyone he met.  We will miss our big boy’s slobbery kisses and hairy cuddles more than we can say……..
 
Although we knew when Arthur arrived with us that his prognosis wasn’t good, we had hoped that we would be able to find him a lovely home to spend his final months. Whilst his general condition had improved, managing the pain caused by his arthritis had become increasingly difficult to control.  At 70 kilos with no muscle mass he was finding it very difficult and painful to support his own body weight and on the advice of our veterinary team we made the very sad decision to say goodbye to our big boy.
 
Arthur had made so many friends and supporters over the past couple of months and we can’t thank you enough.   In Arthurs memory we have created a little fund to support animals that come into our care just like Arthur who need that little bit of extra help.
 
We have set up this memorial for him for you to leave a message, light a candle or if you wish make a donation to ‘Arthurs Legacy’.
 
Thank you for all your support and kind wishes; with your amazing help Arthur had the love and care he deserved for the last few months of his life.
 
Rest well our boy.
