Welcome to our NEW Sponsor A Dog Scheme.

Below are details of our long term residents. These dog's have either been with us for a long period of time or have been returned to us for various reasons. It is doubtful that they will ever find loving home's. However they will stay with us and be cared for throughout the rest of their lives. PLEASE SPONSOR one of these dog's to help with keep and food etc. They are with us through no fault of their own and deserve all the care and love we can give them. PLEASE HELP !!

Sadie

Sadie was thrown out of a car over a Motorway Bridge on rein road in Morley. She fortunately hit the grass embankment & got away with two broken legs, broken ribs & a punctured lung.

She was spotted by a man called Alan Catterick who was a Police Dog Handler & was out walking his pet dog "Toby" that he had adopted from Whitehall Dog Rescue.
Alan rang Whitehall at 2am to see if we could help this young dog & we came out to see a very shocked & frightened dog.
We took her to the Vets & were advised that it would be kinder to put her to sleep, but we felt because of her age (approx 5 months old) that we just had to give Sadie a fighting chance & the Vet agreed to put her on a drip & give her painkillers & see how she was to go on over the next 24 hours.
Sadie went from strength to strength & had to have many operations to repair her damaged legs but sadly her rear leg was causing problems despite the vets best attempts to save it, so a decision was made to remove it.
Sadie was determined not to let this slow her down & appeared on Calendar TV only a month or two later chasing & catching her Frisbee!
Sadie now lives at the Rescue as a permanent resident keeping an eye on all the comings & goings!

Dexter

 Dexter is a dog that was found wandering the streets & was frightened of his own shadow when he first came into us, because of this we felt Dexter had been

mistreated & It took a considerable time before he started to trust people again.
Dexter came to stay with us at the rescue after we found he had a particular dislike for young lads wearing baseball hats & would if he had been allowed to have attacked them.
So here at Whitehall we do not believe a healthy dog should be destroyed because of a problem that renders that dog un re-homeable. So Dexter joined the "permanent residents club" here at Whitehall Dog Rescue.
The biggest problem that we have with Dexter is that he wants to be wherever we are & no fence will hold him back no matter how high it is, so we have now nicknamed him "Houndini".

Ellie

 Ellie the Rottweiler came to as an unwanted puppy, She had not had her vaccinations & within days of arriving at Whitehall Dog Rescue she developed Parvovirus & had to be raced to the Vets.

She went downhill very fast & it was suggested that Ellie had gone downhill so much that it would be best to put her to sleep. This is a very difficult decision with any dog but especially so with a 9 week old puppy & we persuaded the Vet to carry on her treatment for another 12 hours & we are so thankful that we did because as you can see she pulled through.
We then re-homed Ellie to the Receptionist who worked at the Vet as she had seen her every day struggling for life & had fallen in love with her.
Sadly the receptionist split up with her husband a few years later & believe it or not put Ellie in a Boarding Kennels & didn't go back for her. (We tell everyone that takes on a Dog from Whitehall Dog Rescue that if things don't work out throughout the life of the Dog that the Dog must come back to us).
Fortunately for Ellie the Boarding Kennels that Ellie was staying at had rung us to see if we had a place to take Ellie in & it's only when we got talking we realised Ellie was one of our former rescue Dog's & made a place for her to come back into us.
Ellie came back to stay as a " Permanent Resident".

Ted

Ted is a Dog that was hit by a car whilst straying resulting in injures to his rear leg. This was too badly damaged & the decision was made to amputate the leg.

From that day onwards Ted has never missed that leg & goes every at 100mph. (If he had a driving license he'd be banned after a week!!)
Ted became a " Permanent resident due to a very special Dog called Civic that lived on the streets of Leeds (behind the Civic Hall) who for many years had evaded capture by the Leeds city Council Dog Wardens, Who in turn had rung me to see if I could catch Civic & believe it or not it took 3 years after that phone call to catch him.
At that point Civics health had gone into decline & our Vet felt that if he hadn't have been caught he would have died within weeks.
We got Civic nursed back to health but Civic had spent so long without Human contact that he was virtually a wild dog & we spent 6 months trying to get Civic to have a lead put on but no way was he having it.
We tried him with other Dog's but he would only try & attack the other dog's.
Then one day Civic was having his kennel cleaned & shot past us to the kennel that
"Three Legged Ted!" was in & started wagging his tail as if he'd met an old friend. So we let Ted out of his kennel & they just instantly became best mates.
We put Ted on a lead & then Civic & for the first time in 6 Months Civic went out for a walk with us.
From that day on, they were the very best of friends & went everywhere together.
Civic lived at the Rescue for 8 years with Ted until Civic sadly passed away in Feb 2009.
It took Ted some time to come round from the sad loss of his best mate as they truly were best mates. (We nicknamed them "The pair of nutters!)
But as with us all life has to go on despite our losses & Ted has new mates at the Rescue but we don't think he'll ever forget Civic & neither will we.

Heidi

 Heidi's mum (Cindy) was rescued from the Dog Compound where she was heavily pregnant & was due to be destroyed because her original owner had failed to collect her.

We brought her back to the rescue & put her in our Mother & Puppy room but weeks went by & still no Puppys.
A decision was made to do a cesarian on Cindy & 5 healthy pups were delivered.
All but one were very cute Collie cross pups & then there was one little black one that had the most wrinkled face you had ever seen.
When they were old enough we re-homed the 4 Collie cross puppies & sadly the little "wrinkle faced puppy" was over looked.
To socialise her we started taking her out with the other "Permanent Resident" Dog's at the Rescue & several months went by & still a home could not be found for this little wrinklie Dog.
By the time she had out grown her wrinkles & we started having interest in Heidi she had grown so attached to living at the rescue & we had grown so attached to her we let her join the "Permanent Residents Club" & she as been here since 1999.
Heidi has just recently developed clucoma in one of her eyes sadly resulting in her having to have that eye removed but Dog's been Dog's did not let this worry her & just carried on as normal.

Hugo

Hugo is a Dog that Whitehall Dog Rescue re-homed as a 12 week old puppy along with his sister Molly.

All went well for 10 years & then we received a telephone call to say the owners were splitting up & would we take Molly & Hugo back in to the Rescue.
We have a policy that our former rescue Dog's always have a place at the rescue if things don't work out for any reason so Molly & Hugo duly arrived back at the rescue all bewildered & frightened.
It is harder for the older Dog's to adjust at first if they have been used to living in a home but Molly & Hugo soon got into the swing of things.
A decision was soon made that because Molly & Hugo were brother & sister & had always lived together & the fact that they got on so well that it would be unfair to split them up so they came to stay at Whitehall Dog Rescue & joined the " Permanent Residents club".
Sadly Molly passed away in mid 2009 & Hugo & ourselves miss her very much as she was definitely one of life's characters.
Hugo has just recently undergone a big operation which as been a success & is back to enjoying himself going out with some of the other Dog's at the rescue.

Keavie

 Keavie is a Whippet cross that came into us with another Dog called Bobby that had both come in from a broken home.

It is always very difficult finding homes for 2 Dog's to be re-homed together so we had to make the decision as to whether we let Bobby & Keavie go their separate ways.
A nice home came forward for Bobby & so Keavie remained on our website for sometime after but again it is difficult to find homes for our senior Dog's so we took Keavie off our re-homing list & let her join the " Permanent Residents Club".
She loves it at Whitehall Dog Rescue & loves nothing more than chasing a ball (All day long if we let her!!)
