Margaret Green Animal Rescue is delighted to invite the community to two fantastic upcoming events at their Wingletang centre, near Tavistock (PL19 0LF), this April and June.

The dedicated team at Wingletang cares for and rehomes rescue dogs & cats who have found themselves homeless due to changes in circumstances, neglect, or abandonment. As the charity receives no government funding, they rely on the generosity of their supporters and key fundraising events like these to continue their vital work.

Sponsored Walkies – Sunday April 13 (sponsored by Equafleece)

Dog lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike are in for a treat with Sponsored Walkies - a scenic walk through the stunning Devon countryside, starting at 11am from the centre (arrivals from 10am). This 6-mile route along the edge of Dartmoor offers breathtaking views and a chance to enjoy some fresh air, while making a difference for rescue animals.

After completing the walk, participants can return to the centre for a well-earned selection of light refreshments - a perfect way to round off a rewarding day.

If you’d love to walk alongside fellow animal lovers while supporting a local charity, MGAR would love for you to join them!

Niki Ging, Centre Manager at Wingletang, shared: “We are really looking forward to welcoming the community to these events once again. 2025 marks an incredible milestone - 60 years since the charity began rescuing & rehoming animals - so we see these events as a wonderful way to celebrate, bring people together, and show our heartfelt appreciation for everyone’s support. Every penny raised will go directly towards caring for our rescue residents and helping them find the loving forever homes they deserve.”
