We love animals, unconditionally.
But we can’t do it alone.
We’re here for our animals every step of the way, and we need your support to continue our vital work.
We tirelessly strive to rescue and rehome cats and dogs, providing them with the love and care they deserve.
We rely on the generosity of donors like you and your support can truly transform the lives of hundreds of animals per year, giving them a second chance and a forever home they can call their own.
With your donation, we can provide essential veterinary care, nourishing meals, comfortable shelter, and the dedicated staff needed to rehabilitate and nurture our animals.
About us
We’re here for our animals every step of the way.
Teckels is a beacon of hope for our animals who suffered from neglect, some have been unloved or abandoned, and some are left without a home due to unfortunate circumstances.
Regardless of their past, we believe that every animal deserves a chance at a new life filled with happiness and love.
Even when others have given up hope, we’re here to care for them and give them love and the new lives they deserve.
Teckels is a small, independent charity in Whitminster, Gloucestershire.
Our rescue and rehoming centre is a charitable organisation, which cares for and rehabilitates homeless cats and dogs and finds them forever homes.
