Founder resigns from Harrogate dog rescue charity
The founder of a Harrogate dog rescue charity has resigned after a disagreement with the trustees over kennel fees.
Moorview Rescue was set up by Joanne Brydon in 2009 and based at her farm in Bewerley. Over the years it's housed hundreds of neglected and mis-treated dogs whilst they were found new owners.
The disagreement came because, alongside the charity, Ms Brydon also ran a kennel business where the charity paid for the rescued dogs to stay.
In recent weeks the trustees and Ms Brydon disagreed on the price the charity paid for kennel fees leading to Ms Brydon's resignation.
She said:
Ms Brydon has set up another business called the Moorview Sanctuary, caring for her rescued farm animals. She said she will continue to run the kennel business and only care for rescue dogs once she has raised the funds.

The charity's trustees now control of the charity and said they're looking for new premises to house the dogs.
A charity spokesperson said:
The charity was unable to give further details on the new premises but said it would continue to care for neglected and mis-treated dogs.
