Wildlife in Need
Rescuing sick and injured wildlife in Dorset
30 years' experience helping birds and wildlife
Our focus is rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for wildlife, releasing them back into the wild if at all possible. We are currently home to over 200 birds as well as other wildlife including foxes, rabbits and rodents.
We look after all birds including raptors, corvids, owls, garden birds, large and small wetland species as well as the coastal and migratory birds who visit Poole and Chirstchurch harbours.
We are entirely volunteer run and led. Our volunteers provide expert care for injured wildlife, telephone advice and a collection service. Our HQ is a paddock in beautiful, secluded woodland just south of the New Forest.
Humanity and care
Ever noticed an injured animal and wondered what will happen to it? We are the rescue team who swoop in, taking injured or needy creatures for an initial assessment by our experts before deciding on the best course of care.
We work closely with the RSPCA, local vets and other animal welfare organisations with humanity and care. This handsome fellow had swallowed a fish hook and line. A very big thank you to Magnolia House vet in Christchurch, who did a fantastic job operating and saving his life, and he's now doing well in rehab.
