Meet some of our current volunteers

Become a volunteer

Volunteering gives you the opportunity to learn more about the animals, animal husbandry, animal handling, animal nutrition and much more… and it's a lot of fun!

We always welcome volunteers at Wetheriggs Animal Rescue Centre as it is those dedicated individuals who help us to care for the animals and ensure that their needs are catered for.

We often get animals that have suffered from neglect and as such they need tender loving care. This is where the volunteers come in, as they help to nurture the animals back to good health.

If you enjoy working with animals, have a heart of gold with a good sense of humour, then we would love to hear from you!

Room with a view!

“I love helping the animals at Wetheriggs because it means that I can work with animals that my mum won't let me keep, as well as learn a lot of new skills too.”
