Wolves of Wiltshire

The Little Zoo, home to the Wolves of Wiltshire, is a small exotic animal charity based in Wiltshire which was founded in 2010 by Gary Emery. Gary and his wife Nicky manage the day to day care all of the animals. They share their home and lives with these wonderful animals. They both have over 30 years of experience in keeping animals.

For many years, The Little Zoo has served as a sanctuary for exotic pets, many of which were unwanted or proved too challenging to care for for their original owners. In recent years, the zoo has dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to establishing a safe and humane environment for its pack of Eurasian wolves. While their wild populations have experienced a gradual increase in recent decades, Eurasian wolves remain endangered in most European countries.

Apart from the wolves we have approximately 100 animals we care for, ranging from Snakes, Tarantulas, Meerkats, Ocelots, Foxes and many more. We also rescue native animals from time to time which we try to rehabilitate back to their natural environments. However, this is not always possible.

All of our animal keepers are very experienced and having a good vet who specialises in exotic animals on hand is always an added bonus. But, if you feel you can help us by volunteering, donating money or in kind support, please contact us - every little helps!
