Helping Yorkshire Poundies
Helping Yorkshire Poundies (HYPS) was started in 2012 and it now has a team of volunteers working tirelessly to help dogs on death row. HYPS work closely with stray dog pounds in Yorkshire, visiting often, taking pictures of the strays and try to find rescue places throughout the country. Once a rescue space is secured, they then organise transportation. If rescue spaces cannot be obtained before time is up for dogs in pounds, they are taken into the care of HYPS, put into rented kennels or foster homes where they can be assessed, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flead and wormed before being rehomed.

Pet Cremation Service
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council Bereavement Services are offering a bespoke pet cremation service in the peaceful setting of Cannon Hall, Cawthorne, Barnsley, surrounded by beautiful gardens and parkland.
“We’ll provide a dignified cremation service for your adored dog, cat or small animal at our pet crematorium in the picturesque grounds of Cannon Hall. We know how distressing the loss of a pet can be and promise to treat your pet with care, compassion and respect.
We’ll provide every pet with an individual service; collecting them from your home or a vet if required, and returning the ashes to you following their cremation. Each pet will be carefully cremated on their own and their ashes prepared personally by our staff in accordance with your wishes.
Following the cremation, your pet’s ashes will be carefully placed into a casket or urn of your choice. Your pet’s cremation record will be with them at every stage, and you’ll receive a certificate of authenticity. You can choose to collect the ashes in person from Cannon Hall, or we can return them to you at home or to your vet.
The costs for our pet cremation service vary depending on the type of pet and the service that you choose.
It is important to us that you are reassured by our service. Please contact Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council bereavement services on 01226 206053 or email: petcrematorium@barnsley.gov.uk with any questions.
We’ll help you to plan the service as you wish and let you know about charges and payment options at that time. Many people make arrangements in advance of their pet passing to make sure their exact wishes are carried out. Please talk to us about keeping your details on file until our help is needed.” Further information is available from the website.
