About Gables Dogs & Cats Home…
We rehome and care for animals from all over Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and the Isles of Scilly. We care for over 1000 dogs and cats every year. We either rehome them or re-unite them with their owners if they are lost. On a daily basis we care for around 80 dogs and over 100 cats, which is a lot for our staff and volunteers to look after.
We totally rely on the generosity and support of the public through donations and legacies, as we don’t receive any Government or other funding.
The majority of our animals are unwanted pets, given up by their owners for numerous reasons.
We take in stray and lost cats that are found wandering the streets, some in a very poor condition and in desperate need of help, and unclaimed stray dogs from local councils.
We also take animals from the RSPCA that have sadly been neglected and abused by their owners or injured in road traffic accidents. It can take a long time to gain the trust of these animals to be able to rehabilitate them so they can start to enjoy life and look for a new home.
We believe that there is a special someone out there for every dog and cat, it is just a case of finding them.
All of our animals are health checked by a Vet, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for fleas and worms before going to a new home. Dogs are also assessed by a qualified dog behaviourist to establish what sort of home they need.
