Wildlife Wassenaar has it all ! Beach, forest, dune and pasture. The animal species that live in this landscape are numerous. Despite a perfect habitat on first sight, there can be occasions were wildlife is in need of help. Not only traffic makes a lot of victims, but the waist people leave behind can also cause problems. For example a simple piece of plastic around the beak of a gull can cause death by starvation. How strange this may seem, it happens quite a lot.

Every winter the dumping of oil in the sea leaves a lot of seabirds stained and emaciated on the shore. It is a sad sight seeing the birds wash themselves on sea knowing that they poison themselves more and more by doing this. Stichting Nationale Dierenzorg takes the fate of these animals to heart. Next to the Seniorenclub an animal shelter and a kennel, we also have an animal ambulance at our disposal since recently.

Nationale dierenzorg, funded in 1926 by some ladies-in-waiting from Queen Wilhelmina, has grown into a multi-disciplined animal protecting organization. An organization that not only talks but acts as well! History With 80 years of experience Stichting Nationale Dierenzorg has al lot of expertise. Since 1949 we are located in the monumental farmhouse Welgelegen in Wassenaar. A team of professionals accompanied by motivated volunteers take great care of the animals. They also advise and help people. Both people and animals matter at Nationale Dierenzorg!
