Paws for a cause – Margaret Green Animal Rescue

http://www.margaretgreenanimalrescue.org.uk/index.html
Established in 1965, Margaret Green Animal Rescue is the oldest and largest animal rescue charity founded in Dorset. Every year, the charity cares for over 1200 animals – many of whom have been abandoned, unwanted or ill-treated – and rehomes them to loving owners. With two centres in Dorset (Lincoln Farm and Church Knowle) and one in Devon (Wingletang Rescue), there is always a large variety of animals looking for forever homes, including dogs, cats, rabbits, donkeys, goats and pigs, to name just a few!
Margaret Green, founder of the Charity, was an amazing lady with incredible strength and determination. She passed away on Christmas Eve 2009, age 94. Despite being hospitalised for some weeks prior to her death, she still wouldn’t stop thinking of animals. Even on the night before she died, she insisted on checking that arrangements had been made for her annual Christmas donation of carrots for Angel and all the other horses at the Church Knowle Centre.
Margaret devoted much of her life to the rescue and care of animals, and everyone involved with the charity promises to continue her good work for the sake of all the animals in their care.
Margaret Green Animal Rescue receives no government funding, and relies heavily on donations to continue carrying out its important work. Every penny of every pound donated goes towards animal welfare.

Church Knowle also hosts an annual companion dog show and family fun day on Sunday 3rd August between 11am and 4pm. Why not enter your hound in the pedigree and novelty classes; enjoy the stalls; enter the raffle or grand draw, and enjoy something to eat and a glass of Pimms!

Competition time with Nina Ottosson!

 

Nina Ottosson has been developing toys and puzzles since 1990 together with dogs, for dogs. Her philosophy is that a dog has four legs and one head, and all five need activity in different ways – both physical and mental, and her toys, puzzles and games help exercise both mind and body.
The Treat Maze wobbles, rocks and spins, challenging and entertaining your dog before revealing a tasty reward! It's a great way to stimulate your dog!

We’re giving three lucky winners the chance to win a fantastic Nina Ottosson Treat Maze, suitable for small dogs!

For your chance to win, simply answer the following question:
