Margaret Green Animal Rescue is being forced to close it's rescue centres and charity shops to the public due to the second national lockdown.
It's warning this will cause a huge impact on the charities finances, and the animals waiting to be rehomed.
Based in Dorset and Devon, they have been successfully rehoming animals for 55 years and despite this year’s difficulties have managed to stay true to their values of Rescue, Care, Rehome and Support during what has been a very challenging year.
Despite that, they're offering NHS workers who may find themselves in a change of circumstance, temporary assistance.
They're offering to board their pets, as well as those belonging to serving police staff, and frontline Dorset and BCP Council Social Services care workers.
Geoff Wright, CEO commented:
“We continue to provide the highest care for the animals at our rescue centres. Their welfare is and always will be our priority.
"Thank you to all our staff and volunteers who have worked so hard in recent months to keep our doors open. We are extremely grateful to those who have shopped with us or made a donation, it really does make a huge difference to the lives of rescue animals."
They're asking anyone who can help with by donating to the charity, to do so here:
