Registered charity 1176647 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

HYPS rescues dogs from a variety of situations - whenever they need us the most - but primarily from local "stray pounds". We give them the care and veterinary attention many need before rehoming. We rehome responsibly and match dogs and new owners carefully. We also source other suitable rescue spaces for dogs in Yorkshire pounds, and fund their transport costs in order to save their lives.
