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.
