Adoption process
Adopting from Yorkshire
UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
When you find an animal you'd like to meet, contact The Yorkshire Rescue directly using the website in the sidebar. TailHarbor doesn't take any role in the adoption itself — we just make it easier for you to find the animal in the first place.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where is The Yorkshire Rescue located?
The Yorkshire Rescue is in Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
How many animals does The Yorkshire Rescue have available for adoption?
The Yorkshire Rescue currently has 21 animals listed on TailHarbor. That includes 12 dogs. Plus 9 cats. The inventory is refreshed daily from the shelter's own listing system.
How do I adopt an animal from The Yorkshire Rescue?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact The Yorkshire Rescue directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — The Yorkshire Rescue handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor. UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
Can I adopt from The Yorkshire Rescue if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. The Yorkshire Rescue typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is The Yorkshire Rescue a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
The Yorkshire Rescue is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at The Yorkshire Rescue?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by The Yorkshire Rescue directly. Typical fees in United Kingdom cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact The Yorkshire Rescue via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
