The Shelter

As well as our shelter at Sonsoddo just outside Margao (which many of you will know), we recently opened our new centre - GAWT Animal Care Centre and Boarding Kennels - at Curchorem, in the former police station.  Curchorem is about 17km south of Margao.  Both centres are fully equipped to implement the ABC (Animal Birth Control) programme.  

The Curchorem shelter is fully equipped with an operating theatre and can provide pet vaccinations, operations, out-patient treatment, pet supplies and adoptions of puppies and adult dogs. A qualified Veterinary Surgeon and fully trained staff are in residence. There is a residential Hospital Unit for pet dogs requiring medical supervision for short or long stay. Any necessary medical and surgical requirements are at hand.

 

Curchorem Shelter

 

The ‘Home and Away’ Boarding Kennels are also located at Curchorem.

Apart from the main building, the shelters have a number of smaller outbuildings, each with a specific purpose.  There are several dog / puppy holding areas, pre- and post-operation areas, a dedicated kitchen for food preparation, an operating theatre plus a reception and office. There are also mobile / collapsible cages which can be used as necessary for kittens and puppies. 

The shelters alway needs more equipment and medication.  We can also use all the sheets and blankets that you may no longer want. Many holiday-makers drop their old towels etc. into our Charity Shop in Colva for collection by the Shelter van. Click on Friends of GAWT to see our most recent purchases.  Our list is never-ending, which is why we need your support.

You are welcome to visit us – all that we ask is that you contact us in advance so that we can ensure someone is available to meet you and show you around
