About us

Heronfield is a family run rescue centre which with the help of volunteers, donations, a huge amount of dedication and for the love for animals,

our aim is to help unwanted, injured or orphaned animals and birds.

The centre was started by Mitch's father who was aptly nicknamed "Dr Dolittle!" Mitch grew up around animals and then carried on with

the dedication to the centre.

Where possible animals at the centre will be re-homed or released back into the wild.

We have had hundreds of animals and birds come in to our care over the years and we have successfully rehabilitated and released back in to the wild a large proportion of these.

Some have found new homes and the rest we have here are being rehabilitated, being treated for various illnesses or are simply here because they have nowhere else to go.

We also take in small domestic pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets etc and good homes are always needed for them.

Most of our animals in our care will eventually grow up and be either re-homed or released back in to the wild.

There is always chance that some animals may never recover fully and will remain a resident at Heronfields for life.

We are unable to take in dogs or cats, as we do not have the facilities.

There are many specialist groups nearby and we are only too pleased to help.
