Teckels Animal Sanctuaries charity presently runs a sanctuary and boarding kennels (whose profits go straight back into the charity) in Whitminster, Gloucestershire. The rescue and boarding animals are all cared for by our dedicated and hard-working staff and volunteers who regularly clean out, feed, exercise and socialise with those in their care. The centre costs a lot to run (vet bills alone average £3,000 per month), which is why we need your help by sponsorship, donation, membership, or by using our dog and cat boarding facilities. The famous animal lover and author Jilly Cooper had been the patron of Swindon Animal Sanctuary Appeal since 1991, and following the merger has continued her patronage with Teckels Animal Sanctuaries. Agility Classes We run weekly agility classes at Teckels using our fantastic agility equipment. The classes are aimed at absolute beginners with the emphasis on the enjoyment of the dog. Dogs and owners are trained in structured classes to use a variety of equipment including jumps, table, tunnel, closed tunnel, weave poles, long jump, A-frame, tyre and dog-walk. Classes are held in our large outdoor paddock and cost just £5 per session, which helps raise money for the charity. Sessions are held each Monday at 6pm to 7pm, weather permitting. Contact Teckels for more information. Teckels Boarding Kennels & Cats Whiskers Cattery Give your dog or cat a luxury stay at Teckels Boarding Kennels while you are away enjoying yourself!
