Help a rescue pet this Christmas by filling a shoe box with treats

At this time of year we see an increase in animals coming into our care and less people looking to give a rescued pet a forever home. We are asking for kind members of the public to help a rescue pet this year by filling a shoe box or small container with treat, toys and other goodies for the pets that are with us over the festive period. Each pet that is with us on Christmas Day will receive their own present and have fun opening them. 

Please drop off your shoe boxes at one of our Centre's or check back to this page for a full list of shoe box drop off points. If you own or run a local business and would be prepared to take in shoeboxes for our animals, please let us know by emailing marketing@margaretgreenanimalrescue.org.uk. 

If you would prefer to make a purchase from one of our Amazon Wishlists instead, please follow these links for Church Knowle, Lincoln Farm and Wingletang. 

Thank you for your support!
