St Giles Animal Welfare

With your love and support I know my life is going to be so much happier, healthier and whole.We never rehome an animal without careful assessment and a home visit.Every animal is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated before leaving for its new home.If you are interested in rehoming one of the many cats*, dogs** or small animals looking for their forever home, please, email your completed application form.*For cats only you can make an appointment to view our rescued cats without submitting an application form. Please note, we will only be able to show you the cats available on the day of your arrival. We cannot guarantee which cats are available from when you booked your appointment to the day of your visit.**only send in a application form if you think you have found your ideal canine companion.All of the animals we have available for adoption are able to be viewed on this website and in person during your pre-booked appointment with a member of our rescue team.Our main aim is to ensure that all the animals in our care have the most comfortable stay possible until they are able to find their forever homes, therefore, we do not allow visitors to walk around the rescue centre to view the dogs. We have found this to be very stressful for the dogs and can give the prospective adopter an unfair reflection of their true personality. For this reason we have an appointment only policy.Companies House No. 15090999Opening TimesMorning: 10am till 12pmAfternoon: 2pm till 4pmAny queries, please contact:Director – Jack LinnellJack@stgilesanimalcentre.co.ukWelfare Supervisor – Komala@sgaw.co.ukMarketing/Fundraising enquiries – marketing@stgilesanimalcentre.co.ukMade with for our rescues

PawPrints To Freedom

Ahab is a gentle old boy looking for his retirement home. He has been described by the kennels in Romania where he has spent most of his life as an old soul and they were ecstatic he was chosen to travel to the UK. If you are looking for a chill, distinguished gentleman look no further as you have just found him.Ahab is getting used to living in a home and he is developing into a very polite housemate. He isn’t quite toilet trained yet but he’s trying his best and very nearly there. He doesn’t bark at visitors and is very pleased to see everyone he meets.Ahab walks beautifully on the lead. He doesn’t react at all when dogs around him behave unpredictably. He is happy to follow wherever you want to go and he doesn’t pull in the opposite direction. He does find loud cars and motorbikes scary but can be settled and reassured without incident. He currently has short walks and would be happy in a less active household although he is spritely for his age and could be walked for longer with no issues.Ahab would be suited to most homes. He is the kind of dog that doesn’t ask for much, just love and belly rubs, and he gives so much more back in return. He deserves a warm fire, and a comfy sofa in his twilight years to make up for the heartbreaking life he has had so far. You will not find a more deserving dog than this sweet boy.

Leash of Life

This lovely 5 year old boy is Albie.He was adopted through us a number of years ago but his family have had a baby and Albie isn’t coping. He has moved out to a relatives home but this is only a temporary solution and he needs to find a new home as soon as possible.Albie is a very sweet, loving boy who just needs an adult only home where someone is around a lot of the day (although is fine to be left for a few hours), a secure garden and places nearby where he can be walked without too many dogs in his face as he is a little lead reactive (this can improve with positive reinforcement and time).A really nice boy who is at that great age with lots of life left, energy enough for long walks but able to relax when at home.

Leash of Life

Background –Atlas joined us due to a change in circumstances at home.Character –Atlas is an affectionate, relaxed and confident boy who has found himself with us due to his aversion to farm animals.Type of home –Atlas is an active boy looking for a dedicated owner. Although he has experience living in a hectic household with small children and other pets, we feel he would benefit most from a calm, pet-free environment. He is ready to be the sole focus of his new family and settle into a life of one-on-one companionship.His experience of children and other dogs mean he will be ok with visiting children and pooches.Atlas must go to a home without cats, livestock or farm animals. He has a high prey drive and therefore won’t be going on rural farmyard walks anytime soon – let’s put it that way!Atlas will have his meet and greets at our Kennel facility between Cheddar and Wells. Potential adopters will need to meet him here.Our catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire).

I will be ready for homing once I have been signed off by the vet (I need to be neutered and have a dental).Sweet Baby has just arrived into our care, and we are looking forward to getting to know her. As Baby progresses through her assessment, we will understand what type of home she needs. We may already have a suitable home offer for Baby on our waiting list. However, if we don’t hear from any of our current home offers, we will then make Baby available, provide more details, and accept new home offers for her. At that point, the option to apply to home this lovely dog will appear. Watch this space!

Ferne Animal Sanctuary

He lost his owner… and now he’s lost his home too. Bailey didn’t do anything wrong. The only thing that changed was that the person he loved sadly passed away. Now this older boy is in rescue, confused and waiting for someone who isn’t coming back. Bailey is a lovely, gentle soul who still has so much love left to give. He’s friendly with other dogs on and off lead, house trained, walks beautifully on a loose lead, travels well, and is used to being left for a few hours. He’s also been socialised with children aged 10+. He will chase cats and doesn’t have recall off lead, but what Bailey truly needs right now is simple — a safe home, a soft bed, and someone to love him again. He’s already lost everything once. Please don’t let him spend the rest of his days waiting in a kennel. Can you give Bailey the loving home he deserves for his golden years? Please apply online if you can help.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Tan and White 3 Years (approx) Ref: DC002 Apply now Bailey is a young boy bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life. He’s looking for an active home that can keep up with him both physically and mentally, someone who’s ready for adventures, training and plenty of fun along the way. He’s a very intelligent lad who absolutely loves his food, which makes training both enjoyable and rewarding for him. Bailey thrives when he has challenges to focus on and will benefit from ongoing guidance and support from our Training Leads and Behaviourist as he settles into a new home. Bailey can struggle around other dogs and will need to be muzzled when out in public to help keep him and others safe. For this reason, he’s looking to be the only animal in the home so he can receive the one to one attention he truly needs and deserves. He’ll also need an adult only home, as he can be boisterous at times and forget just how strong he is. Despite this, Bailey absolutely loves people. He’s always happy to say hello when out and about and adores a good cuddle. With patience, understanding and the right guidance, Bailey has so much potential and will be an incredibly loyal, loving companion. If you’re experienced, active and ready to invest time into helping a clever young dog navigate the big wide world, Bailey could be your perfect match.
