Welcome to MGFT Animal Sanctuary. We specialise in animal care for all types of animals: cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and even Jack a pot-bellied pig!

With so many animals in need of care, our three sanctuaries are always busy, finding loving homes for our animal friends, welcoming new animals and looking after the permanent residents in our care.

Just as you can wander freely around our beautiful sanctuary at Church Knowle, feel free to take a stroll through our site. Please take a look at some of our animals that are looking for you to rehome a pet, see how you can help or simply enjoy the site.

History - past, present and future

The Margaret Green Foundation Trust was founded in 1965 by the late Mr Jerry Green in order to care and provide sanctuary for unwanted, abandoned and cruelly treated animals. The Trust has developed over the years under the guidance of his daughter Miss Margaret Green, and now operates two sites in Dorset and one in Devon.

In recent years, MGFT's focus has been more on rehoming animals into loving homes.
