Below are a list of the many of our animals we have as permanent
members of the Wonky Pets Rescue Centre based at Swadlincote
Our Forever Animals
This album below is dedicated to those animals who have found a lifetime of sanctuary with the rescue. This could be for a variety of reasons, some have medical issues, others some behavioural problems brought on from past trauma and abuse, some are extremely elderly and just need a safe place to spend their retirement years.
Little Ziggy is 16yrs old and came to us a few weeks ago after her elderly mum sadly was unable to care for her any longer.
Ziggy has a heart problem that previous vets had left untreated sadly, she has a Grade 6 heart murmur and a heart scan by our vets showed some significant heart disease with her left ventricle enlarged. Ziggy is now on appropriate medication to support her heart and will remain on this for life and under our close supervision as one of our FOREVER Animals who is in a permanent foster home now and we will support her medical needs for life.
Ziggy also has some age related changes to her eyes and some early signs of dementia which we are also supporting. We are hoping she can enjoy her time with us for some time yet

Amy is a 15yr old miniature schnauzer who's owner sadly passed away recently. Sadly Amy has some significant anaemia and liver changes so will remain with us as a permanent sanctuary dog in a forever foster home. It's easy.
Loui had been allowed to get away with some guarding behaviour as a pup and lacked having real boundaries and instead of tackling his issues when he first showed some concerns at 7 moths, his behaviour was allowed to escalate and he was mishandled in his original home. He is now safely with us as a Forever animal.
