Plymouth Waterfront Partnership (PWP) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Gables (Dogs and Cats Home) to support the rehoming of dogs and promote dog friendly businesses along the Barbican, waterfront and PWP’s wider business improvement district.

As part of the partnership, PWP will be working with Gables to promote the charity’s ‘dogalogue’ and adoption process.

The first paw forward in this new partnership is the launch of a new video from PWP featuring two of Gables’ current residents, Mrs Claus and Frodo, filmed visiting a range of dog friendly businesses on the Barbican.

Jon Walton, CEO, Plymouth Waterfront Partnership:

“We are delighted to announce this ‘pawesome partnership’ with Gables and to help the team find loving homes for dogs currently in their care. This partnership not only supports Gables to reach more people and hopefully help them to find the dogs in their care safe, loving and secure homes for life, but also promote our dog friendly businesses here within the Plymouth Waterfront Partnership.

“We believe that Plymouth has a lot to offer dog owners, either those who are lucky enough to live here year-round or who visit the city for a weekend break or longer holiday. We want to make it easy for visitors to find all of the dog-friendly amenities that our waterfront has to offer.”

Gables is a non-euthanasia rescue and rehoming centre that has been helping the region’s unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats since 1907.

Claire Sparkes, General Manager, Gables said:

“We are grateful for the support of the Plymouth Waterfront Partnership. This partnership will help us to reach a wider audience and to find more fur-ever homes for the animals in our care. Mrs Claus and Frodo loved the attention they received during the day of filming.”

Both Gables and the Plymouth Waterfront Partnership strongly support the message, that ‘a dog really is for life, and not just for Christmas’.
