Cambridge Edition September 2019

COMMUNI T Y HUB

ood Green’s aim is to bring pets and people closer together, providing pets with the loving homes they deserve, while empowering owners with the knowledge to take the very best care of their beloved pets. Last year, Wood Green found homes for more than 4,000 pets, and the dedicated team gave one-to-one care and support to 2,343 pets and their owners. Sponsoring a pet pen is a meaningful way to be part of rescue pets’ journeys at Wood Green and help the financial effort in providing the best-quality treatment and care possible – from food and veterinary care to love and training. Pets at Wood Green stay for an average of 30 to 35 days, meaning you will play a vital role in a number of pets’ lives. You will receive regular updates from your dog, cat or small animal pen, seeing first hand how your support is making a difference.
