Whitehall Dog Rescue was set up by Brian Wheelhouse in 1992 after finding out that stray and unwanted dogs collected by dog wardens or handed in to the police had a very short time to live if they didn't find a home. The dogs were taken to private kennels who had the contracts with police and dog wardens. The dogs were put on hold for 7 days and if a new owner could not be found in this time, the dogs were put to sleep.

         

Brian ran a motorcycle and car sales business in Leeds and decided to try and help the plight of these poor unwanted dogs, so he converted part of his showroom and built in kennels to accommodate his new guests. A licence was sought from Leeds City council to make sure kennels came to specification. These kennels were used right up to 2004 and helped saved the lives of hundreds of dogs.

The decision was made to close the car sales business as the dog rescue was taking 99% of the time. So Brian relocated to a farm in East Ardsley in Wakefield (nr Leeds) where he continues to rescue dogs from death row.

Rehoming Policy

We welcome potential adoptees from any part of country and indeed we have rehomed abroad.

Home for all our dogs are vetted either by ourselves or friends around the country.

All our dogs are neutered whether male or female. We also fully vaccinate and micro-chip them and of course they have had de-flea treatment & wormers.

We ask that all those who will be living and caring for the new dog to come and meet our dog at our premises and bring with you any dogs that you already own. We have a 4 acre field where we can introduce your dog and our dog to see if everyone gets along.

If all goes well and everyone seems happy with each other (both dogs and humans) then we will schedule a home visit.

Please phone for details of our adoption fees and any other queries that you may have.

Please see the listings for all our dogs currently at the shelter looking for homes.

Thank you for caring.
