About Wetheriggs Animal Rescue
Giving unwanted or injured creatures the gift of a home is what Wetheriggs Animal Rescue is all about. It makes it a must see for all animal lovers!
This small family run animal rescue centre was set up in 2006 and now takes domestic pets, farm animals and native wildlife who are in need of nurturing in a safe, open space, while giving them a new chance at life. Get up close and interact with them in small handling sessions and meet fluffy little fellas like rabbits, guinea pigs, chicks and rodents, or some slightly slimier, but just as sweet, snakes and lizards!
There are education and hand feeding sessions to help you learn how best to take care of your pets and support a fantastic cause. The site has a large indoor barn and an outdoor paddock which you can take a tour of, as well as a playground with mini quad bikes, a café and seasonal events.
- Visit and support adorable animals
- Get close and cuddly in handling sessions
- A playground with quad bikes!
