who will care for your pet/s when you're gone?

Most responsible pet owners worry about what will happen to their pets after they are gone, but few leave any instructions in their Wills for their care.

We appreciate that many pet owners have already arranged for a family member or friend to take care of their pets in the event of their death, but when the time comes their circumstances may have changed. This leaves family members and friends distressed and unsure what to do with the person’s pet/s at such a difficult time. There have been many occasions where we have struggled to obtain legal permission to rehome pets when there is no one with authority willing or available to sign a pet over to our care.

To give pet owner’s peace of mind and their pets a secure and happy future, we have a free service that enables us to take in, care for and rehome pets in the event of their owner’s death.

When your dog or cat is brought into Gables they will be checked by a vet and given any medical treatment needed. Once settled, we will start to look for a loving new home for them.
