The North East Wildlife & Animal Rescue Centre is the largest wildlife rescue in the north of Scotland. An independent Charity, based just outside Ellon, Aberdeenshire, we take in large numbers of orphaned or injured birds and mammals every year.

Wildlife rehabilitation: We have many years experience hand-rearing orphan birds, and dealing with orphaned and injured mammals, with the intention to release them back into the wild when they are fit and able.
Since we started in 2006 we have rescued and rehabilitated over 16,000 animals and birds. We have a 24/7 service, offering advice and assistance, and an Animal Ambulance to take us out and about when we are able

We are thrilled to announce confirmation that we will open the new shop on Saturday, 8th May at 9am 🎉🎊🎉🎊 We've been very busy getting our Ellon shop reopened after the 4 month lockdown but are well on track for having the Dyce shop completed and ready for opening on time. We'll have our volunteer team in next week for their induction and some training whilst we finish off the last bits and pieces 😊😊 I know many people are awaiting dates for dropping donations and please be assured that as soon as we are ready we will open up the booking system on facebook (probably later this week 🤞). Finally, there are still a few shifts available so if you'd like to volunteer please get in touch through here or by e-mail dyce@thenewarc.org xx
Hedgehog and Chips 🤔
Hedgehogs have recently been declared a ‘Red Listed’ mammal in the U.K. meaning it is extremely vulnerable and in threat of possible extinction.
With this in mind The New Arc has decided to become more proactive. This year we will begin a programme of Micro-chipping all the hedgehogs we release. This long term project will help us determine the health, longevity, distribution and success of the work we do, hopefully providing valuable information which will assist in maximising the hedgehogs survival chances.
Each year the number of hedgehogs arriving at the centre has seen a steady increase. Last year we received 118 hedgehogs and were pleased to say that over 82% survived. 31 overwintered with us and are now ready to be returned to their home areas as soon as the weather decides to be sensible.
Excluding the cost of chipping, vet treatment, on-going medication, housing, bedding and heating it costs The New Arc approximately £150.00 for each hedgehog we overwinter.
If you would like to support the work we do please donate via PayPal (contact@thenewarc.org), just giving (www.justgiving.com/newarc) or through our fb donate button 😁
