Our Work
WADARS aim has always been the care and protection of all animals. Over the years our role has changed, demand for us to take in and find new homes for unwanted pets has increased dramatically and takes up a large part of our working day. However, the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife and birds that are unable to help or care for themselves, will always be an important part of what we do.

Over 65s get pets micro-chipped free!
Thanks to a grant made by The Body Shop Foundation, WADARS are able to offer a completely free pet micro-chipping service for anyone over the age of 65, who lives in the Worthing, Littlehampton, Arundel, Pulborough, Lancing and Shoreham areas.
The scheme is a simple way to make sure that should anyone lose their pet, and it is found, it will be returned to them as quickly as possible.
Taking part in the scheme is simple:
1. Ring WADARS on 0300-30-30-999 to obtain a free voucher, and a list of veterinary practices working with us on the scheme.
2. Ring a veterinary practice near you to arrange an appointment.
3. Take your pet and the voucher along to the vet for the procedure, which involves a microchip, no bigger than a grain of rice, being inserted under the skin of your pet.
4. Complete a simple registration form.
That's it!

Chunky Charlie's Happy Ending
Regular visitors to our web-site will be familiar with Chunky Charlie. He has been with us in the kennels since Christmas Eve 2009. When he came to us he was in a terrible state, with the worst case of fleas that our Vet had ever seen. Following a great deal of work and care from Billy and the owners of the kennels, he has come a really long way. But, having such a difficult start has made poor Charlie very nervous and prone to stress and it has recently become very apparent that he would never be able to be re-homed to a "normal" home. He has however, become used to life at the kennels and the routine seems to suit him very well. So, the decision was made by the owners of the kennels that they would take him on as their own dog. He will continue to be a very important member of the family down at the kennels and will, at last, have a secure and permanent home. It's not the outcome that we expected but it's the the best one for Chunky Charlie, and that is what we're here for!
