Our latest success stories
Grey seal pups rescued, rehabilitated and returned to the wild
In early spring 2025, five grey seal pups – Bert, Ernie, Yolanda, Fozzie, and Floyd Pepper, named after several of The Muppets characters – came to us as orphans; underweight and in poor health. After months of rehabilitation (and Kermitted care) at our Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre, these now healthy grey seal pups have made their way back home.
Burnt and abandoned: eight ponies find new life
Eight ponies were found grazing on toxic land, with severe burns. After concerns were reported to us, we rescued and rehabilitated the ponies, leading to a successful prosecution of their owner following their poor care and mistreatment. They have since been lovingly rehomed.
