West Yorkshire Dog Rescue is a Registered Charity managed by Committee on a totally voluntary basis.
Our main priority is the dogs, their welfare and finding the most suitable homes. We provide a lifelong return policy should adoptive owners be unable to keep them.
There is an enormous call for our services, every year we rehome around 250 dogs into loving homes.
By using volunteer fosters instead of kennels we are able to ensure running costs are minimised. We rely heavily on discounts for vet treatment, and public donations of money, food and equipment.
Strong financial management is supported by hard work to raise monies needed to run the Charity.
With robust processes in place and a strategy for long term survival, we will continue to rehome a growing number of unwanted dogs.
