This is now the one number to ring for all our services, including animal rescue, pet rehoming, and administration.

A call to our new 0300 number will cost just the same as to our old 01903 numbers.

0300 numbers are designated for use only by public bodies and not-for-profit services, including charities.

Our animal ambulances are on the road throughout the Worthing

Our Work

WADARS aim has always been the care and protection of all animals. Over the years our role has changed, demand for us to take in and find new homes for unwanted pets has increased dramatically and takes up a large part of our working day. However, the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife and birds that are unable to help or care for themselves, will always be an important part of what we do.

2012 Calendar

Our friends at Grove Lodge Veterinary Group have produced a wonderful charity calendar for us. It is of a large format, 12" x 16.5" (30cm x 42cm), and is full of lovely animal photos, with plenty of space to write in all your appointments and reminders each day.

The calendars cost £5.00, and can be purchased from any Grove Lodge Veterinary Clinic, or from the WADARS offices. We can send one to you by post, but please add £2.00 to cover packing and postage.

Chunky Charlie's Happy Ending

Regular visitors to our web-site will be familiar with Chunky Charlie. He has been with us in the kennels since Christmas Eve 2009. When he came to us he was in a terrible state, with the worst case of fleas that our Vet had ever seen. Following a great deal of work and care from Billy and the owners of the kennels, he has come a really long way. But, having such a difficult start has made poor Charlie very nervous and prone to stress and it has recently become very apparent that he would never be able to be re-homed to a "normal" home. He has however, become used to life at the kennels and the routine seems to suit him very well. So, the decision was made by the owners of the kennels that they would take him on as their own dog. He will continue to be a very important member of the family down at the kennels and will, at last, have a secure and permanent home. It's not the outcome that we expected but it's the the best one for Chunky Charlie, and that is what we're here for!
