We are proud to introduce our brand new Patron of Ridgeback Rescue – the lovely Julian Norton. Julian is the star of the popular Channel 5 Television series ‘The Yorkshire Vet’, the hit fly-on-the-wall documentary series that follows his work in and around the Yorkshire Moors and Dales. Julian is also a best-selling Author of four titles ‘A Yorkshire Vet Through the Seasons’, ‘Horses, Heifers and Hairy Pigs: The Life of a Yorkshire Vet’, ‘The Diary of Yorkshire Vet’, and his latest book published May 2019 ‘On Call With A Yorkshire Vet’.
ABOUT JULIAN NORTON
Julian has been working in mixed practice in rural North Yorkshire for the majority of his twenty plus years as a vet, much of this in the market town of Thirsk, made famous by James Herriot and his books. During this time, he has seen many varied cases, unusual animals great and small and has met and become friends with a huge mixture of fascinating farmers and pet owners. In 2015, Julian became involved with the hit Channel 5 TV series The Yorkshire Vet, which continues to be a hugely popular programme. He contributes a weekly column to The Yorkshire Post, documenting his weekly veterinary anecdotes. Julian currently works in the market town of Boroughbridge, continuing his passion for independent mixed practice, where he works with his wife Anne who is also a vet.
We are absolutely thrilled that Julian agreed to support us and become our Patron … as a Charity made up of Yorkshire folk, we couldn’t think of anybody better to be the face of Ridgeback Rescue. Julian, welcome aboard.
We are thankful for any and all support, as we are a volunteer led charity and do all of our work solely for the benefit of the animals in our care and to do the best we can for them, and give them the homes we feel they deserve. Any and all time spent working on Rescue matters is done in our own personal time and appreciate any and all help offered. If you need to get in contact with us please do not hesitate to do so, as we want to foster strong relationships with our community to further do our best for our dogs.
Thank you
