Evie Hammond

Evie visited us in January to deliver the dog and cat food she received after asking people who attended her 9th birthday party to bring donations to help the animals. She is such a kind girl and an inspiration to all at such a young age. Thank you Evie, you’re amazing!

Aiden Compton

Aiden very kindly chose to sell all of his unwanted toys and collected donations from his family and friends at a Christmas fair at Burraton School in Saltash to raise money for two local charities. We were very grateful to be chosen as one of the charities to benefit from his fundraising. He raised an amazing £120 to help the animals at Gables.

New Year’s Day Swim

Samantha Hall, Laura Hogan, Fiona Ellison, Wendy Baines and Ali Cherry all very bravely took part in a very cold New Year’s Day swim at Hope Cove to raise money for the animals in our care. They raised a wonderful £403.92 for our animals.

Skipton Building Society

We were lucky enough to be voted as one of Skipton Building Society’s charities for 2022 and they raised an amazing £521.96 to help our animals. They also collected some food, treats, litter and toys for the animals. Two of our tiny little puppies had a very important job to collect these generous donations.

Emily Barton

Emily Barton is the current Miss teen Plymouth Galaxy and has been using her platform to help charities. In October she visited Gables with lots of goodies to donate to the animals in our care but her kindness has not stopped there. She also took on the scary challenge to complete a Skydive in Switzerland on 31st December to raise funds to help the animals. Her very brave Mum Nichola, Dad Wayne and brother Luke also joined her for the skydive. They raised an impressive £90 to help the animals. We think you are all incredibly brave and kind, thank you very much.

Rachel Weeks

Rachel very kindly organised a birthday fundraiser via Facebook to support the cats and dogs in our care. She has raised an amazing £400!

You may have seen our family of smooth coated fox terriers who are available for adoption. The first of this family, Morwen, was lucky enough to find her forever home in December of last year with Rachel and her family. Now called Paris she is a very happy girl and her family couldn’t be happier to have her home.

Adam Barnes

One of our fantastic supporters braved new heights in June to help raise money for the dogs and cats in our care. London Cabbie Ben took to the skies and did an amazing 15,000ft skydive! As well as collecting donations online, Ben donated all the tips he received as a London Taxi Driver from February to May, resulting in an absolutely fabulous £1,700! Ben loved doing his skydive and said the views were amazing. Thank you for choosing to help our dogs and cats Ben, what a buzz!

Jess

We were absolutely thrilled to be visited in December by the amazing Jess, who for the fourth year running has made and filled 54 Christmas shoeboxes for our dogs. Jess asked for donations to help her fill the boxes and received an amazing response from people through social media and customers and members of the Waggles Club. We are so grateful to everyone who donated. She was also supported by Serpells, who acted as a donation station and Herrings Shoes who provided the shoe boxes and helped with storage. Thank you for supporting us again this year Jess. We truly appreciate your efforts and all of our dogs were so happy with their Christmas presents, thank you.

Mark Master Masons Devonshire

Before Christmas we were visited by the Devonshire MMM who brought with them a donation of £100 plus this trailer full of donations for our dogs and cats. There were even a few treats for the staff! In February they also kindly brought in a cheque for £250. We always enjoy their visits as they have a great sense of humour and we are very grateful for their continued support.

Colebrook Community Centre

Thank you very much to Colebrook Community Centre who donated forty eight brand new towels to help keep our animals warm and dry this winter.

Nyla and Taryn Collins

In December two of our young supporters made up bags of reindeer poo, reindeer food and reindeer noses to help raise money to support our dogs and cats. They sold them to their family and friends and were supported by The Blondie Bar in Saltash who also sold the bags of treats. Thank you Nyla and Taryn for bringing in lots of goodies for our dogs and cats and for raising an absolutely amazing £193, you are both simply Pawsome.
