More information
Plantation Dog Rescue opened in York, in January 2005. It began with a small number of dogs but rapidly increased to up to 20 dogs at any one time. There are so many stray dogs all over the country, but particularly in the North, and not enough funding or rescue centres to help them all. We pick up dogs from the council run kennels that are due to be put to sleep. All strays must serve their legal seven days in the stray kennels to give their owner a chance to claim them. If their owner doesn't come forward and the kennels are full, (which they usually are in the North) the dogs that have served their seven days will be put to sleep to make room for the new ones coming in each day. We go to the stray and kennels and pick up the dogs that are on death row. We get them all the veterinary treatment that they need, including vaccinations, neutering, flea and worming treatments. We also microchip all the dogs. We assess them, do some training with them and then find them new homes.
