We always need caring, reliable fosterers who have experience with dogs.

Some of the dogs that come into our care have been mistreated, starved, and beaten, and will require a lot of love and patience. Being a foster can be a lot of hard work, but hugely rewarding at the same time

If you are one of the special people who can offer one of our dogs a safe, loving, caring foster home please contact one of our coordinators.

To My Guardian Angel

There I sat, alone and afraid,
You got a call and came right to my aid.

You bundled me up with blankets and love.
And, when I needed it most, you gave me a hug.

I learned that the world was not all that scary and cold.
That sometimes there is someone to have and to hold.

You taught me what love is, you helped me to mend.
You loved me and healed me and became my first friend.

And just when I thought you’d done all you do,
There came along not one new lesson, but two.

First you said, “sweetie, you’re ready to go.
I’ve done all I can, and you’ve learned all I know.”

Then you bundled me up with a blanket and kiss.
Along came a new family, they even have kids!

They took me to their home, forever to stay.
At first I thought you sent me away.

Then that second lesson became perfectly clear.
No matter how far, you will always be near.

And so, my guardian angel you know I’ve moved on.
I have a new home, with toys and a lawn.

But I’ll never forget what I learned that first day.
You never really give your fosters away.

You gave me these thoughts to remember you by.
We may never meet again, and now I know why.

You’ll remember I lived with you for a time.
I may not be yours, but you’ll always be mine.

I am proud to announce that I today received confirmation that Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue has been recognised, and registered, as a charity.

This is a fantastic achievement and a result of a lot of work, and form filling, and an incredible amount of patience. As a charity we hopefully will be able to attract sponsorship, and more donations, which will enable us to help more dogs. We cant do this without the help of our supporters, if you can help in any way please get in touch.

We can now also claim gift aid on any donations, and have now partnered with The Dove Trust to enable us to accept online donations and collect gift aid for donations from UK tax payers, via their Charity Giving website. Gift Aiding your donation costs you nothing, but enables the charity to claim back from the tax man the tax you have already paid on the amount you donate, The Dove Trust, also a charity, collects the gift aid on our behalf and makes a small charge from the gift aid amount to cover their admin costs. This is the most cost effective way for us to collect funds, it helps your donation go further, and costs you nothing extra.
e.g. if you donate £10 and are a UK tax payer and choose to gift aid your donation, The Dove Trust will collect the extra £2.82 gift aid value on our behalf and make a charge to us of only 40p, meaning we actually receive £12.42 for your £10 donation. If you are not a UK tax payer, or choose not to gift aid your donation, we still receive £10!!
The Charity Giving website allows you to make one-off donations, or regular donations which can be set up by direct debit – if you choose this option you will enter into a regular payment direct debit agreement with The Dove Trust, who will collect the money as instructed by you, claim gift aid if appropriate, and forward the money to us. The fantastic news is that a regular monthly £10 donation with gift aid costs you only £120 per year, but gives the rescue almost £150!
If you would like to make a donation, or set up a regular payment, please click the help and donate link on the website, and dont forget the gift aid! Thank You!

Special thanks go now to Charlie who started the filling in of the charity registration forms, to Sue, for her continued and relentless hard work, and to everyone else too numerous to mention for their help and support of Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue

Lucy is a crossbreed – approx 15 months old. She was found by the landlord abandoned in a vacated property. Lucy is a good natured dog and likes people and other dogs. She is housetrained and is part way through her vaccination course – neutering to be arranged. Can you offer Lucy a stable and loving home?

Meet Roxy, the last of the lurcher puppies we were asked to help. All her brothers and sisters now have a home .. Can you offer Roxy somewhere to call home??

He is a 6 year old collie x. He has been castrated, and is up to date with his vaccinations. Murphy is okay with children, has been living with a cat and is house trained.

When out on walks he can pull on the lead but with training this may be rectified. His previous owner has said he is okay with other dogs but has never been around cats. He has suffered from 2 or 3 fits in the last year, but the vet is not overly concerned about these and say he does not need any medication for them..

Murphy’s foster was hoping to keep him, but due to a change in circumstance will need him to find a new home.

Apologies to those who get email updates, some of you got the wrong photo, the correct one is now posted.

Milo is a male Jack Russell – neutering, vaccinating and chipping arranged. He is approx 2yrs old, housetrained. He is very affectionate but has definitely been abused and needs a confident patient owner who will help him learn to trust again

Percy is a Jack Russell about 18 months old. House trained, very obedient, good with cats and dogs. A very loving and good natured little dog. Fleaed, wormed, microchipped and neutered. Course of vaccinations started

Wilf is a crossbreed – possibly Yorkie x poodle(?) and he is so loving and affectionate. House trained and obedient. Good with cats and dogs too. Does little tricks, begging, high five, paw, just a wonderful little guy Wilf is neutered, microchipped and treated for fleas and worms. Vaccination course has been started

Meet Boycie, as you can see, he is a lovely staffie, 4 yrs old. Unfortunately due to the breakdown of his owners relationship he is looking for a new home – can you help?

***
a friend of Max’s original owner has offered him a new home
***
Max is a 5yr old black patterdale. He is good with dogs, cats and horses. Would be best homed where there are no very young children.

The one remaining puppy, Roxy, is now listed as needing a home herself, see her details here http://wwww.yorkshirerosedogrescue.co.uk/?p=828
We have been asked to assist in rehoming three 12 week old female lurcher pups – mother is a whippet and father is a small lurcher. These are lovely gentle dogs and are to be rehomed as pets only – *NOT* working dogs

** update **
Rosie and Manny are now with the Yorkshire Terrier and Toy Dog Rescue, who have been able to find them a suitable foster carer much to their owners’ relief.

***

Rosie is a female dwarf German Shepherd, meaning that she is the size of a German Shepherd pup, in good health and innoculated up to date, who is four and a half years old and neutered.  Rosie originally came from an animal rescue centre three years ago and had clearly suffered abuse in her former home.  We were told that her former owners had split up after a volatile relationship.  As a consequence, Rosie will run out of a room on hearing raised voices, is afraid of being hurt, and she is slow to trust strangers.  She is a very pretty dog.  Wherever she go, people ask what she is and comment on how beautiful she is.  Rosie requires an experienced dog owner who really loves dogs to give her the reassurance and affection she requires.  Rosie is very fond of her little brother, Manny, who has always kept her company, and it would be best that they are rehomed together.  Rosie is capable of climbing over three feet fencing, so requires a secure garden.  Rosie can be competitive with other bitches.

Manny is a three-year-old Yorkshire Terrier-Toy Poodle cross, who for this mix unusually sheds.  He has been neutered, is in good health and his innoculations are up to date.  Manny is a confident little character, who loves cuddles, is very affectionate, and needs plenty of affection in return.  Manny loves to play ball and is of a very happy disposition.  He is particularly attached to his big sister Rosie, who he has lived with all his life.  Manny requires a secure garden, as he likes to find his way through the smallest of gaps!

Rosie and Manny are both house trained.  They have been comfortable being left at home between 8am and 3:30pm on weekdays, having each other’s company, as long as they spend their evenings in the company of people and are regularly let out.  They love walks, although their enthusiasm encourages them to pull on their leads, and Rosie is quite strong.  Until they have come to settle fully into their new home, they are best walked on leads.  Neither dogs have grown up around small children or cats, so might be best homed without cats or young children.  They are a beautiful and loving pair of dogs who would make wonderful pets in the right, caring home.

Sadly a change in their owners circumstance means he has taken the difficult decision to find a new home for them, if you can help please get in touch.

Benjie is approx 1yr old Rottweiler (possible slight cross!!) He was tied up with a note around his neck saying ‘free to good home’ by some heartless previous owner (see picture taken in pound) Benjie is very affectionate but we think he may have been ill treated by a man as he appears to be more comfortable around women He is good with cats and other dogs and is beginning to learn how to play – a new experience for him! Benjie was rescued from the pound before being put to sleep as an unclaimed unwanted stray. Benjie has a lot to offer a new owner so for more information please get in touch.

Roxy is a 5yr old staffie. She is ok with other dogs and people but has not lived with children Roxy is non destructive when left and is a typical staffie in that she is very affectionate and loving. She is being rehomed due to her owner working long hours and having to work away.

*Poor Prince is back in rescue – a member of his new family developed an allergy so he has had to come back to us – through absolutely no fault of his own.*

How beautiful is Prince? He is approximately a 7 month old Akita x lab and seems to have inherited the best of both breeds, and I don’t just mean he gorgeous curly tail! This young boy is so kind and gentle and yet has a real presence about him. He carries himself so perfectly he turns heads wherever you go.

Prince is highly intelligent and energetic so would benefit from an experienced doggie home that could further his education and give him the stimulation that he so craves.

He walks very well on the lead and will only pull when excited by another dog. I havent walked him off lead yet but his previous owners always had him off lead and said he was very good with a great re-call. I will keep his profile updated as I find out more.

He is neutered, chipped and vaccinated. Would be best not to home him with young children as he can be slightly nervous and does sometimes jump up when excited. He really enjoys doggie company so would love to live with other dogs.

Meet Tom , he is approx 12 mths old Rottie cross and was going to be PTS . Tom is not the biggest of rotties (slightly bigger than a labrador) but is a great chap. He is friendly, loyal, affectionate and loving and is mixed with dogs daily in the rescue. Please see his photo on http://www.zepthedep.co.uk/#/dogs-needing-homes/4519653269

Tom is being rehomed by Zepthedep Rottweiler Rescue – their policy is not to rehome with any children under 10 or any single person or couple under 25. Tom will be castrated, microchipped, vaccinated etc. He will also come with 4 weeks free pet insurance

FOR MORE INFORMATION ON EITHER ADOPTING TOM – OR OFFERING HIM A LONG TERM FOSTER HOME – PLEASE CONTACT JON 01246 436718 OR 07867 680538 (mobile)

Harvey is approximately 9 months old and is a GSD x (possibly border terrier judging by his grizzle nose!!) Wonderfully natured dog. Very loving. Obedient will sit, lay down and give his paw. Good with other dogs – loves to play! Fleaed, wormed and microchipped. Neutering arranged.

Daisy is a Rottweiler and will be 3yrs old in September. Daisy currently lives with a 19 month old child and 2 other dogs – and is great with them all. She is good both on and off the lead. Daisy is a very soft and friendly dog – sadly looking for a new home due to owner’s change in circumstances
