GALLERY: 12 small pets at Woodgreen Pets Charity near Peterborough in need of new homes

Bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters among the unwanted animals hoping for a fresh start

12 ‘small furries’ near Peterborough are seeking new ‘forever homes’ – and Woodgreen Pets Charity is hoping Peterborough Telegraph readers may be able to help.

The affectionate small furry animals, which include rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, are presently being fed, bedded and fussed at the charity’s renowned 43-acre animal welfare centre near Godmanchester.

Famed as the home of Channel Four’s hit TV show The Dog House, Woodgreen’s objective is to create ‘a world where all pets are cared for in loving homes for life’

While pursuing that aim, the charity strives to provide safe shelter, specialist care and a brighter future for hundreds of animals at any one time.

Sadly, many of the animals that arrive at Woodgreen have been abandoned and neglected, leaving some of them with medical conditions and/or behavioural issues. Others end up at the centre simply because their owners are no longer able to care for them.

As is all too often the case, the centre has far too many small pets at the moment, all of whom are in desperate need of a place to call home.

And that’s where you, our generous readers, come in. Can you help? If you feel you or someone you may know can provide a loving home to a bunny, hamster or guinea pig in need of adoption then please click on this link – woodgreen.org.uk/pets/?species=rabbit%2Chamster%2Cguinea-pig.

There, you will find all of the small animals currently under Woodgreen’s care, including the 12 in our gallery, all of whom want nothing more than to find their ‘forever home.’
