Rescued Orphan
Orphaned, abandoned or injured otters and cubs are brought to us and cared for in our special facility.
Feeding & Care
As soon as possible they are transferred to a purpose- built enclosure away from the public.
Health Check
With regular health checks the process of becoming a wild otter again happens over a period of up to twelve months.
Back to the wild
The otters are later transferred to a soft release site for a short time. Then they are released back into the wild for a second chance to be a wild otter.
See some amazing pictures and learn more about the various different species you will see when you visit.
Adopt an otter from Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary and help us to continue our work caring for these beautiful creatures
The perfect way of spending a whole day split between ourselves, the South Devon Railway and Totnes Rare Breeds.
