Who we are

Arran Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is a registered Scottish charity dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals. 

We care for a diverse range of species, from otters to seagulls. 

Our daily routine involves feeding, cleaning, and medical care to ensure all our residents are healthy and happy.

We are based in Whiting Bay which is on the east side of the island and just on the outskirts of the village as you come from Lamlash towards us. We are on a  3- acre site and it was originally a plant nursery which we have now given over to house the rescue animals. It means we have the space to house our diverse 'family' and fields for the horses, sheep and other wildlife to exercise and feel a similar environment to one they would live in. 

I am Diane Lewis and my background was in social care. I have always loved animals since I was a child. 

I live with my partner, Colin Stobbs, and together we run the rescue along with many volunteers . 

We are proud to have achieved Scottish Charity status which has opened the doors to much more in the way of resources and help previously not available to the rescue. It means we can now expand and improve our facilities to helping all the creatures in our care.
