Every brick helps us take another step towards a brighter future for the animals in our care.
Our Virtual Buy a Brick Wall is a fun and meaningful way to support the redevelopment of York Animal Home. Simply choose a virtual brick, make your donation and personalise it with a name in honour of yourself, a loved one or a special pet.
As the wall fills up, it will gradually reveal a heartwarming picture featuring some of the cats who found their forever homes through York Animal Home. But look closely... one mischievous puppy has managed to sneak into the picture too!
Dedicate a brick, reveal the picture and help build a brighter future for the animals in our care.
Start by clicking on a brick below.

Why we need to rebuild
The buildings that have served York's animals for more than half a century are no longer fit for the future.
Despite the dedication of our staff and volunteers, many of our facilities are ageing, difficult to maintain and no longer meet modern animal welfare expectations. Some accommodation is already unusable.
Our puppy facilities can only accommodate a fraction of the animals they were originally designed for.
Our cattery is increasingly challenging to maintain and future licensing requirements could place our ability to continue caring for animals at risk.
The animals deserve better. Together, we can build it.
