Gables Farm (formerly Plymouth & District Dogs' & Cats' Home) has been helping the region's four legged friends since 1907. The charity was initially started by two sisters, Mrs E B Guard and Ms Agnes Grant who cycled around Plymouth collecting stray cats and later moved on to helping dogs.
With the help of members and volunteers, we continue the good work of our founders and look after some 2000 cats and dogs every year. We either re-home or re-unite them with their owners and provide constant veterinary care and attention to all of them during their stay with us.
We enforce a strict non-euthanasia policy, which means no healthy animal in our care is put to sleep. We're also committed to providing the best environment possible. Our 11 acre site ensures that Gables Farm cats and dogs have the most modern accommodation facilities available which in turn helps reduce certain behavioural problems that can develop amongst animals in care.
