This animal rescue center in the UK provides a safe haven for abandoned, abused, and neglected animals. The center takes in a wide range of animals, from horses and ponies to dogs, cats, and small mammals, and provides them with food, shelter, and veterinary care. Visitors can explore the rescue center, meet the animals, and learn about their stories and the rehabilitation process. The center also offers educational programs and workshops, promoting animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. With a strong focus on rehabilitation and rehoming, Wetheriggs Animal Rescue works tirelessly to find forever homes for its rescued animals, giving them a second chance at a happy life.
Had an amazing visit to this absolute gem of a place today. Just wonderful to see the dedication of the staff doing all they can for so many animals in need. Friendly, helpful and a delight to wander round. Cannot recommend this place enough. Wish we lived nearer as both my kids would be volunteering in a shot. Thanks so much for a great experience.
Kids loved it here PS25 for 2 adults and 4 kids wasn't bad value at all as you can come back throughout the day. We arrived at 3pm so only had an hour but we were very welcomed by the staff and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back
We love this place!! We have just recently become members due to our continuing visits. We found the center completely by accident when we had a bird in need of some help. Terry who cares for the animals and helps with their rehabilitation is a wonderful human being! He has such passion for all of the animals and it shines through completely. The animals in their care all look happy and healthy, despite any ailments or illnesses they have come in with. You can get up close and feed the animals. Have a wonder around their paddocks. A great day or afternoon out. With or without children :)
I feel bad giving only 2 stars. I really do. I'm sure its a great charity doing fantastic work, however the place is needing a good clean. The smell of urine as you walk in the entrance will knock you off your feet. I get if you have goats, pigs and rodents under on roof there will be a smell but this was bad. I felt as though I was walking around a prison block for animals. Some areas were really cramped. I'm sure its better than where they came from and safer. I know you work tirelessly but please clean the enclosures to a higher standard.
Lovely friendly place, well cared for animals, great volunteers, building looks a bit tired but still an enjoyable couple of hours. Save some food for the paddock animals outside. Thanks,
PS20 for a family ticket for 2 adults and upto 4 children. We were a little disappointed to be honest we were in and out in 20 mins. It's one large shed with lots of pens with the animals in. You could buy feed for a pound per bag to feed the animals which we did. We thought 20 pound for a family ticket was steep for what w as there but you have to think they are looking after all the rescued animals and that eases the blow. We thought PS10 a family ticket was more suitable really. Animals and staff were friendly but wouldn't visit again.
