The East Riding of Yorkshire offers a combination of coastal areas, open countryside and quieter towns, making it suitable for many rescue dogs. Dogs adopted here are often placed with homes that can provide calm surroundings and regular exercise. Rescues operating in the region frequently work across wide areas, using foster homes to assess dogs before rehoming. Adopting a dog locally helps ensure dogs are placed into environments that suit their temperament and needs.

They were very worried that these 2 babies wouldn't survive the winter as they were already so frail, and temperatures had already dropped to -5 degrees. It usually gets to -20 during their winter months.In the photos, Adele is attached to Beyonce's side. Over time though, these 2 girls have made many new friends and are no longer reliant on each other. They both now kennel share with different dogs and are settled and happy with their groups. Unfortunately, when letting them back together for play dates, it seems that these 2 have really grown apart and no longer enjoy spending time with each other.Adele has never lived in a home before and so would require time, patience, understanding and lots of positive based training to help her learn the ropes of home life.\n\nWith other dogs: Adele loves playing out with the other pups and adult dogs, if she were to live with anotehr dog, they would need to be of similar or larger size than Adele.With cats:Adele is has met a cat whilst in our care. She was off lead and showed no prey drive. Please note - it was a very confident cat that she met so if she were to meet a cat that was skitty and ran, it is likley that she would chase due to a dogs natural instinct to do so.\n\nAdele loves nothing more than running around our fields and yards with all of her doggy friends. She's not ready to come inside a minute before the kennel shift is over. Adele has moderate to high energy levels at present.\n\nAdele has never before lived in a home. She will need to be left for minimal periods to begin with so she can settle in and realise that she is safe. This time alone (with another dog) can be built up so she'd be able to be left up to around 4 hours\n\nAdele is not yet lead trained. She is still very unsure about being handled and so lead training will come once she has built a bond with her new family\n\nAdele has no form of basic training.

Blue came in to our care from another rescue that was closing down.He hasn’t been with us for very long and is still under assessment for us to determine what sort of home he will be best suited to.He is full of energy and character and will need someone who can provide him with plenty of exercise and mental enrichment.As far as we are aware, he has never been around children. This combined with his boisterous nature means we will not be looking to place him in a home with children.We are still assessing his suitability to live with other dogs.

Sex: MaleAge: Approx. 9 yearsSize: Large (Lab size)Breed: Mixed breed\n\nHey guys, Bobbie here! I originally arrived at Oakwood back in Janurary 2021. When I first arrived I was very scared due to how mistreated I was in Romania. It took me a while to begin to trust people again but I managed to find a home in March 2021. In the home I was very loved and the last 14 months I was there I made lots of progress in so many ways. Sadly, I have now come back to Oakwood due to compatibility issues with my family. I am an incredibly loyal boy and tend to bond strongly with one person. For this reason I would prefer a 1 person household that I can give all my love and attention to. The humans said they understand what a huge ask this is though so they will also be happy to look at a 2 person household too, it just may take me a little longer for me to feel safe with meeting 2 new people at the same time. Unfortunately I can really struggle with new people and introductions need to be very slow so that I feel safe - but I promise that I will be the bravest boy and do my absolute best as I really do want nothing more than to meet my forever family. Once I trust you, I guarentee that you will have a best friend for life. My ideal home would have minimal visitors. I'm a lazy boy who enjoys snoozing in my comfy beds, don't let that fool you though because I am super clever really! I enjoy enrichment and love my snuffle & lick mats. I also really enjoy obedience and trick training and it seems to entertain the humans when I show off all the cool tricks I know. I also love a blast on our big field, especially with my girlfriend Alex <3\n\nThe staff here at Oakwood have been helping me get used to lead walking. I will now walk around the centre on a lead just fine, and I'll walk out the back to our further away fields but I struggle out in the front car park as all of the people and cars scare me and I just want to get back to the safety of the rescue as soon as possible. My adopter will need to understand that I may never be a dog that enjoys going on walks but I will enjoy sunbathing in the garden and lots of cuddles and quality time with you. Things I do love: Having a brush! Venison! Chest, belly & butt scratches! Up until recently, I have been on a single protein venison diet as I have suspected allergies- my ears go red and I scratch them if I eat something I shouldn't. It does seem to be mild allergies and we are currently experimenting what triggers it the most. So far we have found that fish and lamb don't really agree with me. I am now eating a delicious hypo allergenic food that the humans bought me and I am doing great on it. They say it costs no more than normal dog food and I feel amazing on it. They say I have become very puppy like, giddy and silly, in the best possible way. I seem to make them laugh a lot <3 Dogs: I was very undersocialised with other dogs but have made progress with this and have shown I can have dog friends, both male and female, so although I need to live as an only dog I could have a visiting dog friend. I cannot live with cats. Full details of return will be given to potential adopters. I really hope to see your application!

Then look no further than Carrie!Carrie has recently arrived with us at Oakwood and with her sweet personality and kind nature, we are hoping she is not going to be with us too long before she finds her forever home.We were contacted about Carrie as she was being held in shelter in Romania where she was getting picked on by the other dogs. She is a large girl and so was in with lots of other large dogs, but this gentle girl wanted nothing more than to be out of that enclosure and to be with the volunteers that showed her kindness.We were told that the volunteers had spent a couple of hours with Carrie and when it was time to go back into the enclosure, she was shaking and holding on to them, pleading with her eyes, to not be put back. We were told that she was not coping at all and she is one of the dogs were they would expect to one day be notified that she had been attacked and didn't survive :(We couldn't let this gentle soul stay there any longer and agreed to accept her into our care.Carrie is very human and dog friendly but can be very nervous until she gets to know you. She is very scared of the world around her and is not yet ablet to walk on a collar and lead due to fear. She loves playing with dogs, loves her food, and is starting to copy the other dogs and play with toys <3\n\nWith other dogs: Carrie has been great with every dog that we have mixed her with so far. She can be very wary of them to start off with but once she starts to trust them, she is off running around the field playing chase with them.Unfortunately, due to her time in the shelter, Carrie will food guard from other dogs and so for this reason, must be rehomed as an only dog.With cats:Carrie is untested with cats therefore, she can not be rehomed with them\n\nCarrie is a young girl with lots of energy. She will thrive in a home that can give her lots of physical and mental stimulation as she may not be brave enough for lead walks for the first few weeks / months\n\nCarrie is very people oriented and will require training to build up her time alone. To begin with, she will need to be left as little as possible. In her kennel, she cries a lot so it's possible that she could develop separation anxiety in a home\n\nCarrie is not yet lead trained. This will come once she has settled into her new home and has built a bond with her new family\n\nCarrie has no form of basic training. This will all come in time once she has settled and learnt to fully trust her adopters\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!

These places are a living hell and poor Chester spent his days making himself as small as possible and hiding away trying to be invisible. Luckily, he was spotted by the team at PPTF that took him off to their private shelter and from here, he was transferred to us at Oakwood Dog Rescue to begin his new life.Chester is a very timid boy that doesn't yet have any trust at all with people. He is going to need a calm and patient home with lots of love, time and understanding. With dogs: Chester has been amazing, playful and respectful of every dog that we have mixed him with at the rescue. With cats: Chester is not yet cat tested.\n\nChester is an active young dog and loved to play with his friends. His energy levels could increase in the home but we'd currently assess him as having moderate energy levels\n\nChester has never been left alone before and so any time alone may need to be slowly built up. Having at least one other dog around should help him feel more settled but he shouldn't be left for any more than 3-4 hours due to him never living in a home before and requiring training\n\nWe have not yet tried Chester on a lead due to being new into rescue\n\nChester has shown to have no form of basic training\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!

Can you believe that this little senior lady was picked up as a stray.No dog deserves to be in kennels, but especially not an older dog like Ethel. Ethel should be curled up in front of someone’s fire, not found wandering the streets all alone.She may be a little older at around 12 years old (and can be a little grumpy at times) but can’t we all be at her age? But underneath her sass, is a loyal little companion who just wants a comfy place to napBeing a terrier she has a big personality packed into a little body and is still spritely and enjoys going for a gentle stroll.Because of her age and personality, we are looking for a quiet, patient home for Ethel, where she can feel safe and loved and spend her twilight years in comfort and warmth.

I am a resident at Hull Animal Welfare Trust and I have been a resident here for quite some time now.I don’t mind it too much here at the kennels, but it can be quite noisy with the other dogs barking and a lot of comings and goings all day so it would be nice to find a quiter place where I can spend the rest of my days.I had a bad experience beofre coming to Hull Animal Welfare, I was abandoned by my owner in a flat and the anxiety of not knowing when someone was coming back for me was very upsetting. Because of this I don’t like being left alone anymore and would need someone very calm and patient that can understand my worries and work with me to start feeling better.I love having freedom and being out and about on walks and keeping busy and i loooovve sniffing!!The ‘humans’ at Hull Animal Welfare have been very kind and have been helping me to learn to relax more and be calm.

Sex: FemaleAge: 5 years oldSize: MediumBreed: Mixed breed\n\nIntroducing.. Hazel!Hazel's Story:Hazel was a terrified girl that was rescued from a shelter in Romania. The photos that we received of her, she was wide eyed and absolutely frozen in fear.Since arriving with us at Oakwood, she is still far too fearful to be handled however we have seen plenty of giddyness from her, especially when she has all of her doggy pals around her for confidence.Hazel is an absolute foody however, she is still too scared of us to take treats from our hands so we are building the trust by not pressuring her into this and allowing her to take treats that are being thrown to her instead.\n\nWith other dogs: Hazel has always lived around other dogs and we believe that it is absolutely necessary to live with another dog. Her confidence around people is so low that she is going to need a more confident dog in her life that will show her the ropes. She gets on well with all the dogs that we have mixed her with so far but the males are definitely her preferred choice, she particularly likes our youngsters Walter, Lewis and Prince <3With cats:Hazel has not been tested with cats. Due to her nervous nature, there is currently no safe way of testing her at the moment.\n\nDexter has shown moderate energy levels since being with us but this could increase as she settles into a home\n\nDexter has never lived in a home before. If she was to live with another dog, we believe she'd be ok to be left for 4-5 hours but any time where he will be by himself will need to be slowly built up over time\n\nDexter is still too scared of us to attempt lead training\n\nDexter has no form of basic training\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!
