West Yorkshire Dog Rescue to open flagship store at Penistone 1 unit.

30 January 2017

The team at West Yorkshire Dog Rescue are set to expand the charity from Marsden and Haywood to a new refurbished unit at Penistone 1 in Penistone Store

The charity was established fifteen years ago and is run through the support of grants such as Support Adoption for Pets.

The charity is set to create new jobs and link with existing businesses and groups in the local area as charity’s co-ordinators Kathy Trout and Jane Brennan run a unique system which involves local businesses in the communities they work.

All vet treatment is done locally Vets 4 Pets Barnsley and local groomer Julia Ogden of Dogzi K9 Grooming came on board 18 months ago and grooms all the rescues dogs before rehoming. West Yorkshire Dog Rescue encourage community participation, support local businesses to create interest within the charity.

The charity aims to form positive relationships within the community in order to achieve the best outcome for the dogs they rescue.

The team at West Yorkshire Dog Rescue fund veterinary treatments and the work doesn’t stop there, as they also aim to educate new owners throughout and after the adoption process. Owners are given a detailed behavioural and medical assessment to help them settle in to their new home.

Jane Brennan Rescue Coordinator at the charity said “Our aim is to build a community base. Our new shop in Penistone will have disabled facilities, wheelchair access. We will have donated goods, local crafters, Artisans, housewares up-cycled furniture and some vintage clothing. “

“We are looking for volunteers within the community, schools and youth services to give our young people, a chance of work experience.”

The new Penistone centre can be found at St Mary’s Street at Penistone 1, next door to QED Financial Services.

Alistair Gillespie, management surveyor at Dransfield Properties, said: “We are delighted to welcome Jane and her team to Penistone 1 and wish the charity all the very best in their new premises.”
