For the love of Staffies

Here at York RSPCA, we love our Staffies and what's not to love?


Sadly too many Staffies are taught to be bad dogs making many people assume they are all bad dogs. We beg to differ. Hundreds upon hundreds have found themselves walking through our door and if there is one thing they have taught us, it's that they have the biggest hearts and an unending ability to give kisses. 

Have you been thinking of adopting a dog? Do you want a dog who will love you forever, give lots of cuddles and kisses and become a part of your family? Why not consider a Staffy? 


Join the Staffy Revolution, we promise you will fall in love and find yourself a new family member! Here are some of our beautiful Staffies who are hoping to find their forever home this year...

Doug is 4 years old and is a bit of a nervous lad but is very sweet and loves a cuddle once he knows you. As he is nervous, Doug is looking for the quiet life with no young children or other pets in the home. He is an absolute pleasure to walk and look after.

Ernie is a super friendly 6 year old who loves nothing more than to greet everyone he meets with a smile and a cuddle. He would prefer a home with no other pets and children over 10 years old. He has lots of love to give, he just needs to be given the chance.

Carly is very smiley 2 year old who has lots of energy to burn so would love a home where she will be able to go on lots of walks and have plenty of playtime. Carly could live with children 8+ years but would prefer not to live with cats as she is not a fan of them. She is very quiet in her kennel so often gets overlooked.

Corky is around 1 year old and is a fantastic all rounder, he loves people, could live with children 6+ and could live with another dog. He isn't so keen on cats, he says they smell funny! He is very well-mannered, walks well on a lead. A lovable chunk of Staffy.

Layla is a sweet 5 year old who was rather ill but is now well on the road to recovery and looking for her forever home. Layla is house-trained and walks well on a lead. She has lots of love and affection to give whoever can give her a second chance at life.

Bud is 3 years old and is hoping to find his forever home with his toothy grin. He is quite shy until he gets to know you but once he does, you can have as many cuddles and kisses as you want. Due to his nervousness, he would be best suited to an adult only home or with children 16+. He would also prefer to be an only pet.

Nutmeg is a young girl who is looking for a place to start her life. She is a very sweet girl who would benefit for puppy training classes to help her learn some basics and help her socialise with other dogs. 


So when are YOU joining the Staffy revolution? 

Don't take our word for it, why not call in and see just know lovely these beautiful dogs really are.

We are open Tuesday to Sunday 11am until 3:30pm (we do close at 1pm every Thursday for the next few months) or give us a ring on 01904 654 949.

Vixen would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. All of us here at the centre would like to thank all our supporters, friends and adopters for all the homes you have provided, all the money and food donated and most of all for continuing to support the work we do to ensure we give as many animals as possible their second chance at life. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

2 days to Christmas

Marshmallow and Mayo have been with us for quite a while and are spending another Christmas with us. Their Christmas wish is to find a loving home together and for their next Christmas to be spent with a family who love them as much as we do. Is there room in your heart for these two beautiful bunnies?
