Doggie Fun Day

There is a doggie fun day on Sunday 27th May at Oakwell Hall Country Park, Nutter Lane, Birstall WF17 9LG.  Between 11am and 3pm.
There will be lots of 'have a go' activities such as agility, fastest retrieve, hide and seek, nosework etc.  The emphasis here is on FUN and each activity will be tailored to each dog - so it doesn't matter how well trained (or not!!) your dog is - this is the opportunity to have fun with your four-legged friend and get some ideas for how to stimulate their brain, relieve boredom and increase the bond between you!
Each activity will be £1 per go - proceeds will be split between Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue and Iron Mountain Canine
Refreshments will be available

Steve Hoyle - Dog Trainer and Behaviourist

All at Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue would like to thank Steve Hoyle for turning Apollo the blue roan cocker spaniel around.  Poor Apollo had been so screwed up by his abusive owners and was so frightened of everybody that our vet recommended euthanasia.
As a last ditch attempt to help Apollo - we turned to Steve Hoyle at Paws With Us in Dewsbury.  With Steve and his resident canine gang, Apollo learned to enjoy being a dog and his confidence and trust improved rapidly - and after only a few weeks Apollo was ready to be rehomed with hardly a sign of his previous issues.
We would also like to thank Steve for all his help and advice with the other YRDR dogs that he has been involved with.
So if you are looking for some help with a wayward pooch - or some good kennelling with great walks whilst you are away - check this out   http://pawswithus.com

Dog Food Donation

We would like to say a big thank you to 'Paws for Pet Supplies' of Main St. Crosshills, for their kind donation of a huge bag of dog food. 


Thank you Abi.

Three Peaks Charity Walk

On Saturday 7th April 2012 Paul Dyson and his Lurcher Roxy, along with fellow dog walkers and friends; Nick with Ben the collie and Gareth with Dudley the Beagle/Weimaraner cross, will walk the Three Peaks. Paul is raising money for Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue and Nick is fundraising for Freedom of Spirit Trust for Border Collies.

They have been in training since January and last week in dreadful weather they walked Whernside in treacherous conditions!  Paul even fell off the mountain but bounced and lives to tell the tale!!

They are putting in all this effort in the hope that people will donate to the rescue and show their support and admiration for the lengths they are going to for us!!

The committee at Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue are very grateful for their willingness to do the walk for our cause and hope that people will show their support. 

Donations can be made either through http://www.charitygiving.co.uk/pauldyson (preferable as tax-paying donors can claim Gift Aid and so the donation is worth more!!) or by contacting Paul himself on 01924 444478 or email paul@printees.co.uk 

Thank you very much!!

Thank You from Mia

To everybody that donated money and unwanted gifts for raffles and tombolas to raise money for me!

I was very hungry, sore and depressed when I arrived at Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue. The day after I arrived I got kennel cough which then turned into a chest infection and they thought I wouldn't make it ..... but with antibiotics, good food and lots of TLC - I did !!
I was on 8 small meals per day consisting of fresh chicken, pasta & rice. That was a bit expensive apparently but now I'm still on some chicken but mainly on boooring dog food........!
I have developed from the timid skinny bag of bones hiding in a dog bed - to a cheeky monkey and a bit of a handful !
I now have a posh fleece jumper (donated by a lovely kind lady called Kim at http://www.thesmartdogcompany.co.uk/)  to keep me warm at night and while in the car   - and a posh matching lead and collar of my very own .... I've never had anything nice before.
I am going for a day's stay at the local veterinary surgeons for something called spaying and vaccinations - I think it's some sort of spa day so I hope I can get my nails done!!!!

Anyway - thank you to everyone who helped with donations - it has gone directly to assist with my (rather large) food bill, got me some new clothes and will also help pay the bill at the spa!!

Thank you so much

PS Sorry about the poor photos but I'm a bit bouncy these days and find it difficult to stay still !!
