Wetheriggs Zoo and Animal Sanctuary, Animal sanctuary in Greta Bridge, England.
The Wetheriggs Zoo and Animal Sanctuary provides care for more than 500 animals, including domestic pets, farm animals, and native wildlife species.
Terry Bowes, a zookeeper with 45 years of experience, established the sanctuary in 2006 at the former Wetheriggs Pottery location.
The sanctuary maintains a strong connection with local emergency services and customs authorities to assist animals facing legal complications.
Visitors can purchase feed bags for £1 to interact with the animals during their visit between 10:00 and 16:00 every day.
The facility accepts any animal they can accommodate, from common pets like rabbits to exotic species such as Burmese pythons and Chilean rose tarantulas.
