Cheltenham Animal Shelter is a charity that has been helping animals since the 1930s. We provide kennelling for stray dogs from three councils: Gloucester City, Tewkesbury Borough and Cheltenham Borough.

We take in rescue dogs from Gloucestershire Constabulary as well as rehoming dogs, cats and small animals from owners who can no longer look after them for a variety of reasons. We also have dog boarding and cat boarding facilities available while you are away on holiday. 

The mission of Gloucestershire Animal Welfare Association and Cheltenham Animal Shelter is:
 

to provide shelter for homeless domestic animals from across the county whilst attempting to locate appropriate new homes. We also aim to educate members of the public and professionals in correct and appropriate animal husbandry through humane education programmes.

We are a member of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes and we adhere to, and exceed, their code of practice. In doing that we are very careful to ensure that each and every animal goes to the right home.

Thanks to Burns Pet Nutrition who very kindly provide all the pet food for the dogs and cats for adoption free of charge.

One of our supporters is treking up Aconcagua in Argentina - the world’s highest peak outside of Asia. All money she raises is being donated to the Shelter! To read more, or to make a donation, please visit Jennie's Just Giving Page.

Our thanks to NFU Mutual in Cheltenham who have recently sponsored one of our kennel blocks for 2010. For details on sponsoring a kennel block or cattery please contact the Fundraising Manager, Debbie Lake, on 01242 548775.
