Animal lovers are being encouraged to take part in an animal rescue's competition.

The contest, held by Forever Friends Small Animal Rescue and Sanctuary at Maryport, asks supporters to simply buy the non-profit an item from its wishlist, being automatically entered into the prize draw if they do so.

Each entrant will be in with a chance to win a special treat from the sanctuary, with their beloved pet also receiving a little gift.

The winner will be announced on Halloween, giving everyone plenty of time to show their support by buying vital food, bedding and more for the rescue team.

For more information, including details on how to enter, visit the Forever Friends Small Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Facebook page.

Alternatively, head to the team's Amazon wishlist here to get entered straight away – simply leave a note on your order, including your name and the fact you'd like to be entered.
