Yorkshire Swan Rescue Hospital

Welcome to the website of Yorkshire Swan Rescue Hospital.

The Yorkshire Swan Rescue Hospital is a registered charity operated exclusively by dedicated volunteer workers and veterinary surgeons to the rescue, care, treatment and rehabilitation of injured swans and wild animals.

By no means choice, the charity is the largest and busiest treatment centre for injured swans in Northern England, and treats the second largest number of injured swans in the UK and world-wide. During 2007, the centre will have treated approximately 3,000 wild animals, with a sole aim of returning every animal successfully treated back into it's rightful place in the wild.

The charity is operational 24 hours a day, and is proud of it's established reputation. The dedicated facilities include a Hospital ward, Examination tables, Intensive care units, an Isolation unit, a washing and cleaning room for polluted and oiled swans, outside rehabilitation enclosures, nursing ponds and a two acre spring-fed rehabilitation lake. Our experienced volunteer workers are on hand 24 Hours a day, providing a vital emergency rescue service with first aid recovery, blood tests, treatments and administrating life saving drugs to wildlife casualties. For more complex injuries, with the support of our Internationally renowned and respected Veterinary Surgeons from the International Zoo Veterinary Group, we are able to provide a fully equipped operating room and X-ray facilities.

The Yorkshire Swan Rescue Hospital does not receive Government funding, and relies on donations, contributions and legacies to continue it's valued voluntary work from kind and generous members of the public, companies and charitable trusts.
