We can take care of your dogs and cats, goats and other animals at our sanctuary and can offer your pets shelter whilst we seek new homes for them.

Margaret Green Animal Rescue is a pet shelter and animal sanctuary based in Dorset and Devon which shelter pets until they can be rehomed. We have a large variety of rescue pets that seek loving new homes from pet rabbits, pet mice, dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, horses and goats.

Signing over your pets to the
Margaret Green animal sanctuary:

Regardless of the reason or circumstances, if you have an animal which you can no longer look after and need to bring into the sanctuary please telephone us as soon as possible. We understand that saying goodbye to a family animal can be a stressful time for both you and your animal - we will be here to help and support you in this difficult decision.

Our animal sanctuaries may have waiting lists, but when you call, we will be able to advise you immediately as to whether we have a space available. At the same time we would be grateful for any information that you can give us, eg veterinary history, characteristics, vaccinations, etc.

Before bringing your animal to us, please carefully consider your decision once again. Once your pet is signed over to to Margaret Green Animal Rescue, we become the legal owners who care for your pet and endeavour to find it an alternative loving home.

Every animal is thoroughly health-checked and assessed before being placed in a new home. All our dogs and cats are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for worms and fleas before becoming available for rehoming.

Once a prospective new owner has been found, a home check will be carried out to ensure the animal's requirements can be met.

When offering your pet shelter we will accept your animal free of charge, but please bear in mind that there are costs to care for your animal. Therefore all donations are kindly received.

If you have found a stray animal, there may well be a desperate owner looking for it, so please always get in touch as soon as possible with your local authority who will advise you on where to take the stray. Your local police station should also be able to provide this information.
