AN animal charity is looking for people to sponsor some of its resident pets.

As well as finding homes for abandoned animals, Pets in Need, based in Turton Road, Tottington, also houses a selection of animals on special retreat, which can be sponsored for as little as £10 a year.

For the donation you will receive a certificate from the animal you choose, a photograph, a christmas card and regular updates in the Pets in Need newsletter.

Marmalade, the pony pictured left, and Harry the Vietnamese Pig, right, are just two of the animals you could sponsor. Others include sheep, goats and ducks.

Anyone interested can call 01204 883846 or email petsinneedlancs@aol.com.

Last week's featured animal Niko, a stunning pure-bred Samoyed dog that suffers from colitis, is still looking for a home.
