Adoption Policy and Contacting RDR

The past twelve months have been extremely busy for RDR, and we have received a large number of calls and emails enquiring about rehoming dogs, or about dogs that need a new home. All the staff at RDR are volunteers, and many have full-time jobs too, but we try to answer your queries as quickly as possible. To help us manage the volume of enquiries, we are making some changes to our adoption process and how we handle enquiries.

• For initial adoption enquiries, and all general enquiries please email us at enquiries@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk
• In case of emergencies only you can call us on 07843 841778

Adoption Information

If you are enquiring about rehoming a dog please give us as much information about yourself as possible. This will speed up the adotion process, and help our volunteers to give you the most appropriate advice and guidance. Please include the following:

• Your name
• Address
• Contact Details, including phone number
• The name of the dog you are inteersting in adopting
• If you’re not asking about a specific dog, the type of dog you are interested in
• What experience you have of owning or living with a dog
• Some information about your home circumstances, for example:
  • whether you have children or young people living in the home
  • whether you have a secure garden
  • whether the dog would be left alone during the day, and if so, for how long.

Thanks for your continuing support.
