Woodgreen Pets Charity Keeping pets and their people together – this is how we rescue. Woodgreen is dedicated to helping pets and their people every step of the way.

We exist to ensure that every pet can have a healthy and happy home, and for every owner to get the practical, hands-on support they need to make this possible. We want all pets to live happy, fulfilling lives, and we do everything we can to make that a reality. Any pet that comes to our Centre is given specialist care which meets their individual needs. And when they’re ready, we find them the perfect match – their second chance at happiness. As well as finding loving homes for vulnerable pets, we also provide a number of vital services to support humans, so that they can be the best pet owners they can be. This includes expert advice on the phone and online, as well as workshops, classes and community support. As seen on Channel 4’s ‘The Dog House’, Woodgreen’s Centre is based in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, where we care for dogs, cats, and small animals. Everything we do is funded through our generous supporters – we receive no government funding.

Black cats aren’t scary, and they certainly don’t bring bad luck. 🐈‍⬛

But spooky stories and old superstitions haven’t done them any favours. In the past, black cats often waited longer to find new homes – simply because of the colour of their fur.

We love black cats all year round, and we know lots of you do too. Share a photo of your mini panther and tell us what makes them special! 🖤

Jinx, Hex, Potion, Ghost and Spirit were found beside a road near Woodgreen in September. They were only ten weeks old.

A kind member of the public brought them to us, where our vets checked them over and gave them parasite treatments and microchips.

They were in good health, but these little puppies were understandably frightened. They’d cower in the corners of their kennels, sometimes growling if anyone came too close. It was their way of letting us know they needed space.

Their carers spent time sitting quietly with them, talking gently and offering toys, always letting the puppies choose when to approach. Slowly, their playful sides began to emerge, and soon they were chasing around the gardens together.

Still a little unsure of people, they were ready to continue building their confidence in homes of their own. And it wasn’t long before they’d cast a spell on their new families. 🪄

All five have homes lined up! Some are already keeping their new families on their toes with plenty of puppy mischief, while the others will be joining theirs soon.

Jinx, now known as Mars, has already moved in! Swipe to see him in his new home, where he’ll be spending his first ever spooky season. 🎃💚

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! 👻🐾

There’s something strange… and ridiculously cute… in the neighbourhood! Meet Winston, Venkman, Merlin and Egon, who came to Woodgreen as a stray litter and will soon be looking for homes of their own.

Their speciality? Chasing things you can’t see. Their weakness? A feather wand.

Who’s already fallen under their spell?

After a male guinea pig managed to escape and reach the females’ enclosure, their owner suddenly found themselves with nine pregnant piggies, and turned to us for help.

We brought all mums-to-be into our care, where our teams helped them give birth safely. Once they were ready, we handed the mums back to their owner, with ongoing support from our Outreach team to prevent more surprise litters.

Among the new babies who came into our care were brothers Frankenstein and Wendigo. Little Frankenstein had a serious eye injury from an accident before arriving and needed surgery to remove his eye.

An infection made his recovery more complicated. Our vets provided antibiotics and daily wound care, while our Small Pet team carefully monitored his weight and recovery.

We kept Wendigo close throughout – even taking the brothers to vet appointments together. 💚

A month after arriving, Frankenstein had healed, and the pair went on to find a home together with Gary and his family.

Now called Puck and Pudding, they’re enjoying morning cuddles, tucking into kale, and growing more confident every day.

Brr, it's officially coat season! 🍂🐾

As temperatures start to drop, some dogs, particularly those with short, fine fur like Greyhounds and Staffies, as well as puppies and older dogs, may benefit from an extra layer to keep them warm on walks.

We'd love to see your dogs modelling their autumn wardrobes! 🧥 Share a photo of your pup wrapped up in their favourite coat in the comments

Halloween can be a scary time for dogs, and not just because of the ghouls. 🎃

Doorbells, costumes and spooky sounds can all be unsettling, but a little prep can help them feel more comfortable.

Listen up, you plonkers! We've got some lovely jubbly news to share.

Del and Rodney have only gone and found themselves a new home. The boys have trotted off for their next adventure, and no doubt a bit of wheeling and dealing along the way.

This time next year, they'll be millionaires...

Cushty!
