🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families genuinely considering adopting a pet — the sanctuary staff are knowledgeable about each animal and can match families with the right companion. Families expecting a zoo-style outing will find this is a working rescue facility, not a visitor attraction.

“A lovely place with lovely people 😁 The staff were very warm and kind, and it was a pleasure donating pet food to them. The Wythall Animal Sanctuary do incredible work rescuing animals and helping to get them re-homed and find a 'forever home' with new, loving owners. They do fundraising events to support the animals they rescue and regularly post about the animals in need of a new home, and provide information on how to look after animals. The Wythall Animal Sanctuary gives pets that have been abandoned, abused and neglected by previous owners, a second chance, and give them all the love and care they need. A really wonderful little place that does incredible work helping animals ♥️”

“It looks to be a very nice Wythall Rescue Sanctuary. I have not had a chance to travel to visit there at all yet. I might keep it on my notes, if i want to adopt another lovely pet, Guinea pig, Rabbit, Cat or Dog. I have had a rabbit, guinea pigs, rat and gerbils and cockertiels before. I had 2 cats, i have since lost my Tabby, Abbey, 13 yrs, was getting old and unwell. I have Gracie my 1 yr 4 month, BSH, grey girl cat. She is not keen on dogs. But that is alright, she is enjoying her lovely home with me. xx”
