Business overview

Helping the regions unwanted & abandoned dogs & cats since 1907. Could you give a rescue dog or cat a new loving home or perhaps sponsor one? We also offer a 5* boarding service.

Gables Dogs & Cats Home (registered charity number 1127194) is a non-euthanasia rescue and rehoming centre that has been helping the region's unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats since 1907.

We look after 1000 cats and dogs every year and we either rehome or re-unite them with their owners and provide constant veterinary care and attention to all of them during their stay with us.

As we receive no Government funding, we totally rely on the generosity and support of the public through donations and legacies.

As well as generating funds by fundraising, we offer a dog and cat boarding service and have a shop on site that sells a wide variety of pet products and animal themed gifts. By using our boarding service and our shop, you will directly help us shelter and rehome hundreds of unwanted and abandoned animals in your local area as all profits fund the welfare work we do.

If you are looking for a new cat or dog, please come to us first rather than an unknown or possibly unsafe seller, which may not match you with the right pet.

We have dedicated staff here at Gables who have great passion for animal welfare and vast experience. We are often looking for volunteers too, so give us a call and see how you can help and support us.

Fantastic rescue centre and 5* boarding facilities

5
I adopted my cat from Gables and I was so impressed with their service. They treat every person and animal as an individual so don't have lots of restrictive rules and regulations/hoops to jump through which some rescue centres do. They took the time to find out exactly what I was looking for and made sure where I lived was safe for the kitten I was matched with. I was provided with a full and detailed medical history, microchip details and vaccination card. I now take my cat back to board there if I go away as their facilities are 5*! The staff always recognise me and make a huge fuss of my cat which makes a big difference to me. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Thank you Gables boarding team

5
I have a rescue dog that is very anxious and this is the first time he has been in kennels and were worried about leaving him. The team at Gables were amazing and guided us to get the correct combination of an anxiety medication from the Vets before arrival and allowed him time to settle in. He is not food orientated so was worried that he would not eat but they managed to coax him.
On picking him up he was in the paddock, looking relaxed and just happy to see us. Thank you all at Gables for taking such good care of him, he'll be back next year and will hopefully let you give him the attention I know you wanted to.

Great for anxious / reactive dogs

5
My dog has always been nervous, aged 2 I decided to go away for the 1st time but was so worried about putting her in kennels. I was concerned it might make her even more anxious. However after long conversations with the staff & after they gave is so much advice we decided to board her here.
Gables advised, in conjunction with our vet to increase her anxiety medication for the duration of her stay and a few days before, It was a game changer. She settled straight in and had a fabulous time.
She has now boarded there 3 times, she gets really excited & happy when she sees the staff and goes off with them without a care in the world.
She is now so settled she no longer needs the increased dose of medication.
Staff have been excellent with regards to advising me about medication to ensure she has a positive experience. They do not believe in over medicating dogs, only advise it in dogs that need extra help. Everything is done with the dog’s best interests & welfare at heart.

What a brilliant team

5
Words to describe the Gables team, professional, polite, friendly and welcoming. The building clean tidy and the animal welfare is exemplary. The homes for the animals are excellent, I was so impressed. My wife and I have just rehomed a cat which they suggested based on what we were looking for and our domestic circumstances. They simply got it 100% correct. They know the animals and have their best interest at heart. Do take the staffs advice on what is right for you.

Gables Dog Boarding 5 Star Kennels & Service

5
I used Gables to board my reactive and anxious dog. I was very nervous as had never spent a night away from her. I needn’t have worried. Following the expert advice from the dedicated staff on preparing her for her stay and with the love and care they gave her she settled right down on the first day and had a lovely time. There were no issues with her reactivity or anxiety. I can not recommend Gables highly enough and will definitely always use them to board my dog in future. The staff are knowledgable with regards to canine behaviour and very dedicated to ensuring dogs in their care get the very best home from home experience possible.
