Diesel

This is Diesel picked up from pound in Sheffield we know very little about him. We age 18 months maybe 2 yrs He is very underweight, very strong on lead. A little jumpy but is settling, after all this poor lad doesn't know what is happening to him. I will up date any changes on him. Maybe an adult home as he maybe a little boisterous around young children

Murphy

Murphy is 18 months of age he is entire this a lovely boy and he is looking for a new home as his owner just can't cope she has Murphy's mum and a small child, Murphy is not getting out and not getting the attention he seeks. He is good with other dogs and good with children.

Maisie

Maisie is 2-3 yrs of age she is un spayed. maisie is good with children of all ages the only thing she may do is knock very young children over. She is fine with other dogs & cats . She is currently living with many dogs of all breeds includeing GSD's She walks well on lead and has very good recall. Maisie came to present owner to be trained as she had bitten, and was protective of her home. She ended up staying 2 yrs, she is now fine, but owner says with the dogs that she already has Maisie would be best in a home of her own.

Jess

This is a tragic and true story about an unnamed dog now called Jess. Yes. The last owner could not even be bothered to give her a name. What does that tell you about that person? Jess was going to be shot by her owner - who was farmer - because she chased some livestock on his farm. She did not do any harm to  livestock but, because she had chased them, farmer decided she was a liability. Also, she had never been given a name and was and still is so underweight. Luckily for Jess someone had heard about her plight and decided to Foster Jess until a new owner could be found. Jess is certainly very underweight. And even though she has had a very bad start to her very short life - she is only 15 months of age - she is still very people orientated. She loves a fuss. In fact she has bonded with the fosterer whom rescued her. She does get very excited and due to this, she can do her business inside the house. With training this can certainly be overcome. Jess does get on with other dogs - providing introduced correctly - and children over 10 years of age. She lives at the moment with cats but, unfortunately cats do stress her out. Foster carer  has taken her to the vets for an assessment. It was found that she did have worms and this was one of the reasons for her weight loss. It was obvious though that she had not been fed correctly in the past. Jess is a lovely dog who certainly deserves a good home.

King

King was picked up and taken to Hull Council Pound we were called and he has been in foster care since. We have had King to vets and this is what his Foster Mum has to say.
King is a lovely, lively 18 month old entire male. He's a big boy that loves to play. Unfortunately, King has a problem with his back legs, which means that he walks awkwardly and can be rather clumsy. His problem is not causing him any pain and he runs around with my two GSD's all day long. He does not need any medication for his problem but we do not know exactly what the future will hold for him, whether he will degenerate quickly or whether he will happily have many years being a bit 'wobbly'. To find this out would mean an expensive MRI scan, but vets have said that there is no problems with his hips, it is a neurological condition that he has. He is house trained and will sit and go to his bed when asked, he needs work on the lead and although he comes to his name, recall when there are lots of distractions, can be a bit hit and miss. He was very thin when we picked him up off the streets of Hull but is now starting to put on weight. He loves to carry a ball with him whereever he goes. He is good with other dogs although I think he would benefit from being an only dog where he could get lots of attention and all the cuddles he needs. He really is a super dog that deserves a good, understanding home with someone that is prepared to put in a little time. We have all got very attached to him and his lovely, cheeky character and would like to see him settled with a forever family.
There! It is really quite difficult to sum him up in so few words as he has plenty of good qualities that overshadow his problems.

Pepper

Pepper is around 5 yrs young she is spayed and is good with Children, dogs and cats. She has never shown any aggression she just loves her cuddles. She is not pure GSD she has Husky in her She loves to meet people and everyone falls for her.She is vac. till Feb 2012. She is a lovely girl Reason for re homing going to Australia and owners don't think she would cope with the heat.

Missy

Missy is 2 yrs old she is spayed she has lived with children of all ages, she is now back in kennels after being re homed new owners felt that she needed more time than they had to give. She was living with a 2 yr old and she is fine with her. She was also living with a GSD male, but Missy is quite a dominant female and is wanting to be the boss. She is waring of strangers. With time and training we are sure Missy will be a lovely girl. This was her 2nd home. Her first home she was taken out as there was domestic violence.

Storm and Eisha

These 2 beautiful dogs have come into rescue through no fault of there own. Their owners have split and wife is now living with family and can no longer keep the dogs. Owner is very upset at the situation and would not have given them up but she has no home of her own. We would like these 2 to go together but we all know this will be hard.
Storm white long coated neutered male. he is 4 yrs old he is not sure of children he was teased by them when he was younger he has never shown any aggression, so we are guessing in the right home he should be fine.He does bark at strangers but this is fear once he has meet you all he wants is a fuss. He is used to sleeping on owners bed!!!
 Eisha. black long coated spayed bitch she is 8 yrs of age. again she does fear barking gets very excited. both these dogs will need time to adjust. They are both now in kennels and are doing fine. Both like to be groomed not keen on the bath. Eisha too likes to sleep on owners BED!!!!! Eisha reacted badly to anaesthetic when she had a lump removed so vet says must check before any surgery. Not that we think she is in need of any.

Amber

This girl is 6 yrs of age she is spayed she is semi coated. Amber is fine with young children she lives with the owners 1 yr old grandson. Amber is a little scared of other dogs as she was attacked by 2 dogs sometime ago. We are not sure about cats as she has never been in contact with them.She currently lives with another GSD Harriet. She travels well owners use a crate. Amber appears to be a very nice girl she is ok both on and off lead. Owners parting due to ill health.

Harriet

The girl is 5 yrs of age. she is entire she is very dark black/tan long coat. again she is good around children lives with 1 yr old she also lives happily with Amber. Harriet barks at other dogs so sounds as though she is more forward than Amber. She is good on recall and walks fine on lead. She is a little food aggressive towards Amber if Amber goes near her food but shares water bowl ok.

Ash

This boy is 7 yrs of age he is neutered he is vaccinated till May 2011 he lives with another dog. He is living with cats but this is the problem he doesn't get on with them. He has gone for the dog next door, through the fence so now when out walking Ash he is muzzled. Our volunteer had this to say about Ash. Ash has a fabulous coat and his a very nice looking dog. he is maybe crossed with either an Akita or Husky. He is very friendly and likes to jump up to greet you. For this reason we would say children over 12 yrs. Volunteer took him for a walk without muzzle no problem although didn't meet any dogs. He does pull on the lead but when told stopped. Ash will sit, down and give a paw.Ash adores his owners and the female dog he lives with.So if you think you could adopt Ash please don't hesitate this boy needs a firm owner and volunteer thinks he will be fine.

Star

Only 10 months old and already had a hard life, Star has a great temperament and shows no aggression whatsoever. She is currently in fostercare in York, where she is learning the basics and how to live with other dogs. Very affectionate when she gets to know you, she loves to play ball and already walks quietly to heel when out. She is a little nervous and will need a patient owner. Clean in the house, quiet at night, she barks at the doorbell but stops on command.  Vaccinated, worm and flea treated, she will be a delight for the right owner

Murphy

Murphy is in foster and has been there for 4 weeks now, he is coming out of his shell. Foster mum says : Murphy is a beautiful boy and deserves a forever home, he is intelligent, inquisitive and very vocal when any one at door. When she arrives home from work Murphy is always there to greet yelping with happiness.He is living with a springer spaniel who is plays with and an Alfa GSD bitch and a cat, he was fine at first but now see the cat and chases but does not harm. Murphy's epilepsy is controlled with tablets and when it is time to take them she just rattles the bottle and he comes and sits and takes them no bother. Murphy is a very large boy and is strong on the lead. He has not been walked much in his previous home, so is a little weak on his rear legs but with exercise this is improving. Murphy did not know what a Hoover was so does not like it. We now think this lad has been kept outside in his previous home. He loves to be groomed and almost falls asleep. Murphy is 4 yrs entire and is so looking for a new home.

Debo - Bradford

Volunteer says: Debo lacks socialisation with people & dogs. when introduced to Ash (our boy) he showed signs of aggression, although when walking together he seemed to calm down. He went to attack Ash on a number of occasions, Ash soon showed him who the boss was (good lad).This shows he can be ok with the coprrect guidance. Upon entering the house he barked continually at me & shirley. I can see potential but this will only come from a firm handler with experience of the breed & introducing him to lots of different scenarios. & lots of socialisation. He is a big strong boy so pulls on lead. good off lead without the distraction of other dogs. This boy needs plenty of exercise & grooming as he is not being looked after.We would recommend that no small children as he is a very big lad.

Arnie

Arnie is now in Foster this is what they say about him. Arnie has settled in really well. We have found him to be of a wonderful nature, great around kids. Our kids are four and ten and he plays great with them. Niamh the four year old lies on him and he doesn't bat an eye lid. He also gets on great with other dogs, but like my own dogs barks at other dogs whilst on the lead, but honestly we think this is more an excitable bark than anything else. Its just we have to keep him on the lead as his recall is not to good and needs to be worked on and we are concentrating on this as Arnie seems to get a little distracted whilst out on his walks. He does pull on the lead, but a canny collar, halti etc does help a lot with this.  Also he tends to walk better on collar and lead when out alone and not with our two GSD's, (he want to be up front). He has been getting on great with our two dogs but Arnie and Elsa seem to have become pals so maybe he would be better with a nice bitch. Arnie is quite protective over his food bowl with our dogs but I must add, he is fine with humans going near his food bowl, doesn't show any aggression at all (only with dogs). Arnie is also currently living with three cats and just barks at them sometimes, not aggressively, just more of an inquisitive bark. Certainly has not been aggressive towards them in anyway. He has been clean in the house, no accidents at all, so well house trained. He is also fine when left. The longest has been about 2 hrs. He loves company and cuddles and likes to please. Sometimes Arnie barks when you talk to him or he is waiting for a treat, but he is only talking to you. I really do think that the lucky new owner who gets Arnie shall be very pleased with him as he is of sound nature and rather laid back. Really Lynn I cant fault him he is great. we have all fell in love with him dearly and we will all miss him so much when he finds his wonderful new forever home. When I wake up in the morning he gets the quilt in his mouth and pulls the quilt back as if to say get up now, along with lots of licks. Sometimes when excited like in the morning when getting up he mouths a little as he is pleased you are getting up. He really is a great lad!!!!
