RSPCA York, Harrogate and District Branch

Who we are

The RSPCA York, Harrogate and District Branch is a separately registered charity although we are supported by and work in partnership with the RSPCA National Society. We are primarily self-funding and 95% of the money we spend in in the area is raised in the York and surrounding areas. Income is also generated by our charity shops in Acomb, York, Goodramgate York, Harrogate and Selby.

The York Animal Home looks after up to 200 animals at any one time. Maintenance of the 9 buildings, staffing costs, supporting our volunteers, veterinary bills and most importantly caring for, rehabilitating and rehoming our animals costs approx. £2000 per day. Ensuring that we are efficient and use our hard-earned funds in the most effective way possible is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees and our management team.

We are a successful rehoming centre and are proud that we rehome a large number of animals but we are always looking for more homes. The more animals we rehome the more animals we can help. There is a long waiting list of animals that have been abandoned or neglected waiting for a rescue place.
