Ryedale Dog Rescue

Ryedale Dog Rescue

Alfie is a 9 year old Greyhound X who we are helping to find a new home under very sad circumstances. He is vaccinated up to date and good with other dogs of all sizes but does not like cats!! He is currently being fostered by a friend of his original owner and has been living happily alongside their resident small dogs and has behaved really well around visiting children. He loves going for his walks but is a real couch potato when at home and loves a good snooze. He is house trained and can be left alone for a reasonable amount of time. Initial enquiries should be made by email to chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk or by phone on 07843 841778. Any rehoming would be subject to a homecheck by RDR.

A terrier looking for an adult only homeBeryl is a 6 year old Patterdale Terrier who came into RDR from a council stray pound when she was only a puppy. She had sustained quite severe injuries in her former life as a hunt terrier and it took time for her to recover from these. On veterinary examination she was found to have a serious heart problem and underwent specialist open heart surgery to repair a whole in her heart (PDA) when she was just over a year old. She recovered very well from this and was given a clean bill of health afterwards. However she does suffer from a rare skin condition where she lacks collagen so her skin appears super stretchy. This can cause occasional issues but is managed well either with bandaging or surgery and any veterinary needs would be covered by RDR at Ryedale Vets who have known Beryl throughout her time with RDR. She is the best companion inside but don’t let that innocent face fool you as she’s a typical terrier when out and about and VERY interested in anything with fur or feathers!! She is fully vaccinated and neutered and good around other dogs although due to her health issues would probably be best living as an only dog in a home.If you’re interested in Beryl, please email chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk Before you contact us please read Our Adoption Policy

This larger-than-life pair are believed to be mother and son or certainly closely related as they are so bonded to each other and their breed DNA tests would suggest this. Because of their bond we are looking to home them together. They were originally picked up as strays in a local town and remained unclaimed following the statutory claiming period. Marge is around 5 years old and has had her ears cropped and tail docked while Bart who’s around a year old hasn’t. The main breeds in their makeup are Cane Corso and Neapolitan Mastiff with small amounts of other mastiff breeds in there to. Marge is now fully vaccinated and spayed but has been bred from excessively prior to coming to us. She walks well on the lead and knows some basic commands. Bart due to his age has not been castrated as yet but this would need to be done by Ryedale Vets in around 12-18 months time. He also suffers from an eye condition known as Entropion which will require surgery when he’s a little older but is being monitored by the vets (cost covered by RDR). He is still very much a pup and so his on lead walking and learning basic commands are a work in progress!! They are both around 55kg at present, but Bart still has growing to do so could be around 65-70kg when fully grown. We are looking for a home with the time, patience and most importantly the space for 2 giant breed dogs and the experience of owning similar breeds before. They love to be out and about running and playing off lead so a large secure outdoor space is a must for this lovely pair.

Rodney & Sidney are a pair of very bonded brothers who are looking for a home together. They were originally bought as Cocker Spaniel x Labradors, DNA tests indicate that they are 51% labrador, 15% cocker spaniel and 34% poodle!They were born in October 2024 and are now fully vaccinated and castrated. Although they look very similar their characters are quite different. Rodney is very outgoing and definitely a bolder character, while Sidney is a bit more reserved and more of a ‘thinker’. Their basic training is coming along, and they are learning to walk well on their harnesses. They do get excited in new situations and with new dogs, but that’s just inexperience and they are learning all the time.Their ideal home would be an active one with people prepared to continue their training and socialisation. They could live with older ‘dog savvy’ children, and would love a home with lots of outside space where they could run around and play.To register interest or ask further information please email: chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Any rehoming will be subject to our usual homing checking and adoption procedure.

We are currently helping to find Willow and Hazel a new home(s) through no fault of their own. Here’s what their current owner says about them:Is 12 years old Lakeland x Bedlington. She is very affectionate and although slowing down still has the daily zoomies but for the rest of the day is happiest curled up being stroked and fussed. She is not a fan of rain/wind or snow but loves sunbathing. She would suit a quieter household when she could be a lap dog. She is very food orientated and was very easy to train, she has many different tricks and will do anything for a titbit (she is allergic to carrot).She likes slow and shorter walks. She is not a fan of off lead dogs as she has been attacked in the past, she has never shown any aggression only fear in these situations. She likes slow introductions to dogs on walks and once she knows them will seek out her doggy friends to say hello.She doesn’t shed so requires to be trimmed, she can be nervous at the doggy salon but will happily let you trim her with scissors.She has never known if she is a dog/cat or mountain goat, she has got on with every animal she comes in contact with.6 year old Bedlington x Whippet,Full of life and loves a long walk. Hazel can be a little bouncy but soon settles down. She loves a cuddle and belly strokes. She will happily lay with you and watch TV on an evening. She is very submissive with dogs we meet on walks and after saying hello just wants to play.Hazel does not like cats, she has been teased by the local cats and they send her into a frenzy.She loves to play with her rope toys and enjoys tug of war and playing fetch. She tries her best to keep all four paws on the ground when excited but sometimes needs to be told to watch her manners which she does. She will sit and wait, most of her day she likes to sit and watch the world go by even in the rain. Surprising for her size I often think I’ve lost her and find her curled up in a small ball having a snooze.Although Willow is getting a little grumbly neither dog has ever shown any aggression and want nothing more than a good fuss.Neither of the dogs are currently vaccinated or neutered so this would need to be done at Ryedale Vets as part of the adoption contract (costs would be covered by RDR). If you think you could offer a home to either or both girls please contact RDR in the first instance by emailing: chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk or calling 07843 841778. Any rehoming would be subject to homechecking by RDR.
