The Shelter
Cheltenham Animal Shelter is a charity that has been providing care and support for animals since 1926. The association receives no government or lottery funding and is reliant on generous donations from the local residents.

Re-homing and Stray Animals
The Shelter’s main aim is to provide suitable homes for their rescued animals. A regularly updated list of animals is available online at http://gawa.org.uk/rehoming
If you are interested in adopting an animal, it is advisable to contact the shelter to check availability of the chosen animal before visiting. More information, such as re-homing policies and useful advice, can be found on the website.
If you have found a stray or abandoned animal in Gloucestershire, please contact your local council. For stray dogs in Cheltenham, the dog warden can be contacted via dogwarden@cheltenham.gov.uk or on 01242 264244.
