Curchorem Shelter

When we vacated our old shelter at Sonsoddo (which many of you will remember) we moved to our new centre - GAWT Animal Care Centre and Boarding Kennels - at Curchorem, in the former police station.  Curchorem is about 15km east of Margao.

The Curchorem shelter is fully equipped to implement the ABC (Animal Birth Control) programme with an operating theatre and can provide pet vaccinations, operations, outpatient treatment, pet supplies and adoptions of puppies and adult dogs. A qualified Veterinary Surgeon and fully trained staff are on site. 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.

Within the shelter, there are several dog / cat 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. 

Curchorem before restoration!

The shelter always needs more equipment and medication.  We can also use all the sheets and blankets that you may no longer want. Many holidaymakers drop their old towels etc. into our Charity Shop in Colva for collection by the shelter van. Our list is never-ending, which is why we need your support.

Curchorem shelter Inauguration Ceremony

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.

Boarding Kennels

The ‘Home and Away’ Boarding Kennels are also located at Curchorem. The kennels have individual units, and security and care are the two prime factors of this project. Owners can be assured that their pets will be well looked after in their absence.

It must be more comfortable than it looks!
