About Ryedale Dog Rescue

Ryedale Dog Rescue was formed in 2005 and became a registered charity in 2007, originally set up to help abandoned and unwanted dogs in the Ryedale area. The charity now rescues and rehomes dogs within a 30-mile radius of Malton, North Yorkshire, and has saved over 1,000 dogs from unnecessary destruction. Ryedale Dog Rescue assesses every dog on temperament and character rather than appearance, carefully matching each one to the right home through home checks and responsible neutering policies. Run entirely by unpaid volunteers, the charity operates a strict non-destruction policy and never puts a healthy dog to sleep. While in their care, dogs receive a high standard of welfare, with around 48 successfully rehomed each year.

SexFemale
Age6 years
BreedSoft Coated Wheaten Terrier

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

Marge And Bart, a 5 years old unknown Crossbreed available for adoption from Ryedale Dog Rescue in North Yorkshire

Marge And Bart

North Yorkshire
SexUnknown
Age5 years
BreedCrossbreed

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.

Pepper, a 3 years old female Whippet available for adoption from Ryedale Dog Rescue in North Yorkshire

Pepper

North Yorkshire
SexFemale
Age3 years
BreedWhippet

Pretty Pepper is an approximately two and a half years old whippet cross (size of a small greyhound) who came to RDR when her previous owner could not meet her welfare needs. She has come on in leaps and bounds with lots of tlc and good food and is now a very happy and lively young girl. She is now fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed and would best suit an active home with sighthound experience. She loves to run and play so would need or have access to secure outside space to keep her fit and occupied. Occasionally she can be a little shy with new people but soon comes around and treats always help as she’s a real foody! Pepper so deserves a home of her own after a difficult start in life. She walks fine on her harness after initial excitement and has been fine with the other dogs she has met although she would love someone’s full attention at home.
