Shadow is a 3 year old Labrador x English Pointer who we are helping to find a new home due to a change in circumstances.  He has been with his current owner since he was 14 weeks old and is fully house trained and can be left alone for a reasonable amount of time once settled.  He is  quite a large/strong lad but very affectionate towards people and would be suitable to live with teenage children.  Although he loves his food (a bonus when training) he is not protective of it.  Due to the combination of breeds in his makeup he does need an owner who is experienced with working dogs who can give him the exercise/stimulation he craves.  He would be best suited to a rural home with a garden and an owner with the time and patience to continue his training.  He does know his basic commands but work is needed on his recall as he gets easily distracted by wildlife!  His vaccinations will need to be restarted and he will need castrating once settled in a new home, both costs being covered by RDR.  If you think you could offer this young boy the life he deserves in a loving active home please email:  chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk in the first instance including a contact telephone number.   Any rehoming would be subject to a homecheck by RDR. 

Dickens is a very handsome 9 month old Basset Hound who is looking for a new home due to a change in circumstances and through no fault of his own.  He is KC registered and fully vaccinated and has been with his current owner since he was a very young puppy.  He is friendly with other dogs and walks well on the lead.  Although he has been around children and always been totally fine he is quite a large young man so any resident children would need to be over 7 and preferably used to living with a dog(s).  Experience of the breed or similar would be an advantage but not essential and a loving environment where he would be the centre of someones world would be far more important.  He would need to be neutered at Ryedale Vets when age appropriate the cost of which would be covered by Ryedale Dog Rescue.  Please make initial enquiries to:  chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk.  Any rehoming would be subject to a homecheck by RDR.

• Born in October 2024
• They are 51% labrador, 15% cocker spaniel and 34% poodle!
• Need an active home with someone committed to continuing their training
• Could live with older ‘dog savvy’ children
• Any enquiries please email chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk
• Please read through our adoption policy first. You can find it here

Rodney & Sidney are a pair of very bonded brothers who are looking for a home together.  They were originally bought as Cocker Spaniel x Labradors, DNA tests indicate that they are 51% labrador, 15% cocker spaniel and 34% poodle!

They were born in October 2024 and are now fully vaccinated and castrated.  Although they look very similar their characters are quite different.  Rodney is very outgoing and definitely a bolder character, while Sidney is a bit more reserved and more of a ‘thinker’.  Their basic training is coming along, and they are learning to walk well on their harnesses.  They do get excited in new situations and with new dogs, but that’s just inexperience and they are learning all the time. 

Their ideal home would be an active one with people prepared to continue their training and socialisation.  They could live with older ‘dog savvy’ children, and would love a home with lots of outside space where they could run around and play. 

To register interest or ask further information please email:  chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk and we will get back to you as soon as we can.  Any rehoming will be subject to our usual homing checking and adoption procedure.

• Two giant breeds: Cane Corso x Neapolitan Mastiff
• Looking for a home together
• Need a patient and experienced owner with plenty of space

This larger-than-life pair are believed to be mother and son or certainly closely related as they are so bonded to each other and their breed DNA tests would suggest this.  Because of their bond we are looking to home them together.  They were originally picked up as strays in a local town and remained unclaimed following the statutory claiming period.  Marge is around 5 years old and has had her ears cropped and tail docked while Bart who’s around a year old hasn’t.  The main breeds in their makeup are Cane Corso and Neapolitan Mastiff with small amounts of other mastiff breeds in there to.  Marge is now fully vaccinated and spayed but has been bred from excessively prior to coming to us.  She walks well on the lead and knows some basic commands.  Bart due to his age has not been castrated as yet but this would need to be done by Ryedale Vets in around 12-18 months time.  He also suffers from an eye condition known as Entropion which will require surgery when he’s a little older but is being monitored by the vets (cost covered by RDR).  He is still very much a pup and so his on lead walking and learning basic commands are a work in progress!! They are both around 55kg at present, but Bart still has growing to do so could be around 65-70kg when fully grown.  We are looking for a home with the time, patience and most importantly the space for 2 giant breed dogs and the experience of owning similar breeds before.  They love to be out and about running and playing off lead so a large secure outdoor space is a must for this lovely pair.  

If you’re interested in rehoming Marge and Bart contact RDR on chair@ryedaledogrescue.org.uk or call 07843 841778 for an initial chat. RDR will carry out a homecheck before we rehome them.

• 6 year old Patterdale Terrier
• Best living as an only dog in a home.

Beryl 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
