West Yorkshire Dog Rescue is a Registered Charity managed by Committee on a totally voluntary basis. We have a policy that every dog coming into our rescue is treated with love and respect and given the utmost care.

We work primarily in West Yorkshire but sometimes our activities extend beyond. We take dogs from owners who are unable to keep them, and unwanted strays from pounds.

Our rescue dogs are fostered in homes so that their behaviour can be assessed in a family situation.

We follow the advice of our vets and ensure necessary treatment such as dental work and antibiotics for kennel cough so that dogs are as healthy as we can get them prior to adoption. Wherever possible dogs are neutered, and vaccinated but if the vet advises against this then dogs must be neutered and vaccinated in their new home at owners' expense. All dogs are treated for fleas and worms and microchipped.

Homes will be home checked prior to dogs leaving fosters and follow-up checks once adopted.

We continue to support our owners with help and advice, including working with specialist vets, dog behaviourists and trainers.

Should the new owner's circumstances change or if the adopted dog is not wanted for ANY reason it must be returned to West Yorkshire Dog Rescue at the owner's expense. We will receive the dog back at the earliest opportunity, but at our convenience when we have a suitable foster available.

EXCELLENT NEWS FOR OUR CHARITY - we have been successfully appointed "associate members" of the Association of Dogs & Cats Homes (ADCH). This is a real feather in our cap and promotes standards of welfare and care for animals in need which we also strictly follow and adhere to.
