If you are looking for a furry friend of the farmyard variety, Margaret Green Animal Rescue might be able to help.

The Dorset-based charity takes in animals that have become homeless, including pets that have been mistreated, neglected or abandoned, saying: “Regardless of their circumstance, each pet will find a warm bed, a kind team and all the love and respect they deserve.”

Finding forever homes is at the heart of what they do, with their rehoming process designed to help potential owners adopt a pet that fits in perfectly with their lives and loved ones.

So, if you have the experience, and the space, to take on a new farmyard friend, there are currently dozens looking for their forever home at Margaret Green Animal Rescue.

Breed: Saanen goat
