Urgent Cases
The dogs on this page URGENTLY need new homes, sometimes because they are old and kennels are not good places for old dogs, others because they have been in kennels for many months. If you are looking to give a German Shepherd a new home please consider them first.
I'm Keira. I need someone who will spend some time training me.
Keira is only one year old. Her current owner loves her very much but Keira doesn't like the little Yorkies she is living with and has attacked them. Keira is very loving towards people and is fine with bigger dogs. She needs a new home with someone who will be firm but fair and let Keira know her boundaries.
Can you give the time and love she needs?
I'm Zara. I was a guard dog. I would love to be your friend.
Zara was kept in an enclosed compound as a guard dog from a young age has no social skills. She would be best suited to a rural home, with very few visitors. She will bond one to one but is very protective and would be best to be kept out of the way when strangers call.
If you have time and some patience to help socialise her please get in touch. This lovely girl needs a new home.
I'm Richie - I've been in kennels for over a year. Please, please help.
Richie is in the York area. He is a very special dog needing a very special home. Very distrusting, full of bravado, needs to be a one to one relationship with preferably a female. Once was a stray in very, very poor condition. Richie is in kennels just now and has been for a long time. Kennels are not the right place for dogs, they need a loving home. Can you help?
If you would like to adopt Richie the rescue can help transport him to Scotland.
I'm Gypsey - I've been in kennels for over a year. Please, please help.
Gypsey is in the York area. She has been in kennels for a long time now, for the right person she would make a loving dog. Needs a one-to-one. She loves food but can be protective of it. She doesn't get on with any animals. She is an independent dog but loving when she is ready. Kennels are not the right place for dogs, they need a loving home. Can you help?

I'm Major - My owner is ill and can't walk me. Please help.
Owner is ill and can't exercise Major. A lovely dog but only to be re-homed with older children. Will bark when door goes and likes new people to be in the house before meeting them.
I'm Mack - I'm old and in kennels. Please give me a warm home.
This poor older dog could really do with some TLC. He has been found with painful and irritating skin and ear problems that require time and attention to heal, something easily preventable had he had the care every dog needs. He is quite nervous of his new surroundings but has been gentle and obliging with the kennel staff. It is not known how he is with other dogs as yet. Please he really does need somewhere warm and comfortable to be, kennels isn’t the place for any dog but it really is awful for older dogs. Mack is vaccinated and been treated with advocate.
