He is a personal favourite of Jane's and Carolyn's, but he does have issues so he may, unfortunately, have to be one of our resident dogs if we cannot find the right owner.

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.

I am a big soft, affectionate lad and I enjoy a lovely cuddleI walk lovely on the lead and I don’t pull very often despite my sizeI do need a single person’s home because I do bond so much with the one person. I want a very best friend and somebody to spend the rest of my life with. I also always like to be with them so I wouldn’t like somebody that left me for long periods of time.A single male Owner would be perfect for me.I love company and I like to follow my special person around and just chill out with themAlpha is such a nice big gentle boy. He is a little lost at the moment because his Owner died. He is looking for another best friend that he can spend all his time with. He walks, lovely despite the fact that he could pull. He loves treats but more than anything he loves the person that he bonds with.

I am a little nervous and can be wary of new people but once I do know you, I am very friendly and affectionate.I can pull and be reactive when I see other dogs. I'm a nervous boy you see and I am struggling in kennels which is making me very stressed when I go outside.A quieter home with lots of time spent feeling safe and secure with my new owner or family. I'm not happy in kennels, I would be more confident in a home environment.An experienced owner who can help me be a little bit braver, take things slowly, walk in quieter areas so I can learn that walks are fun and not scary.I love playing with toys and being brushed."Benji is a handsome and energetic boy who is always ready for fun! Whether he’s dashing around the paddock, spinning in excitement, or zooming in joyful sprints, his playful spirit is truly contagious. He absolutely adores cuddles and will happily lean in for a good back scratch. Benji is an affectionate dog who will brighten your days with his playful antics and warm snuggles."

Ryedale Dog Rescue

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

Oldies Club

Snoozy Blue is a reposeful 11-year-old female Lurcher, in a foster home in N. Yorks. Blue is a lazy lady who loves nothing more than a snuggle on the sofa with her humans. She will go out for short walks, or a quick sprint in a secure dog field, but her absolute priority is relaxation and she will happily sleep the day away. She could live with quiet, sturdy children who won’t disturb her slumbers or be knocked over by her paws/tail. She’d make a sweet companion for a homeworker as she’ll sleep quietly while you work and then enjoy a nice short walk. She loves to say hello to all dogs. Her foster carer thinks Blue would be happiest living with a calm dog for company, especially if she will be left on her own for more than an hour or two. Blue weighs 23kg and is 60cm tall. She's calm, cuddly, waggy and a joy to have around. She’s won the hearts of so many people, which is no surprise as she’s so friendly and affectionate. She rarely barks and is so laid back. A star!
