At Margaret Green Animal Rescue we take in pets that have become homeless due to a change in circumstances, or that have been neglected, mistreated or abandoned. Regardless of their circumstance, each pet will find a warm bed, a kind team and all the love and respect they deserve awaiting them at Margaret Green Animal Rescue.
We care for over 1,200 animals each year across three centres. Our Church Knowle Rehoming and Visitor Centre covers 35 acres of beautiful Purbeck countryside. It is home to cats, horses, donkeys, pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and many more species. It is also a visitor centre and is open 7 days a week between 10am and 4pm. Church Knowle is also home to the charity’s head office which houses the finance, retail and fundraising teams.
Our Lincoln Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre for Dogs is situated between Blandford and Bere Regis in Dorset.
Finally, our Wingletang Rescue and Rehoming Centre for Dogs and Cats is situated near Tavistock, in Devon.
At all our centre's we aim to find animals their forever home.
