We’re participating in the Pets Foundation’s Santa Paws Appeal! We’re being supported by Pets at Home Harrogate. Visit between 1st and 24th December to support us, donate, and meet some of our lovely fundraisers!

Also if we have volunteers in store on the 6th and 13th of December we can earn an extra £500 in lifeline vouchers per store each day! This means we could potentially get an extra £2000 of treats for our animal this christmas so if you have some time to spend volunteering let us know - [email protected]

🐾 Exciting News for Harrogate Animal Lovers! 🐾

We’re thrilled to announce that the RSPCA York, Harrogate & District Branch has been chosen as the Charity Partner for Pets at Home Harrogate!

This is a fantastic opportunity for us to raise vital funds and collect essential donations to help local animals in need — but we can’t do it alone!

We’re looking for friendly, local volunteers to help with:
🐶 Collecting pet food donations at the store
🐱 Helping out on fundraising stalls
🐰 Chatting with customers about how they can support our branch

👉 It’s a low time commitment — even an hour or two a week can make a real difference!

If you’re passionate about animal welfare and want to help, please get in touch!
📩 Send us a message here on Facebook or email [email protected] to find out more.

Let’s work together to give every animal the chance they deserve! ❤️

Poppleton Road Primary School have been so kind to send us these amazing thank you messages and homemade dog treats (which our dogs will love!) ❤

A few weeks ago, we visited the reception classes at the school to tell them all about the animals we help and what it is like to work for the RSPCA in York. We always enjoy spreading the word about what we do at the York Animal Home 🐶🐾
