Margaret Green Animal Rescue in Dorset have dozens of farm animals to rehome

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.

Bubbles has some ongoing medical issues with phantom pregnancies and hoof problems, which should be considered.
