For a more up to date listing see our main website German Shepherd Rescue

Bexs - Kent

Bexs is a 3 year unspayed bitch. She is good with children and although she has not had a lot of contact with other dogs except her sister, she is good with with other dogs. She has lived with a cat but tended to hassle it. Bexs is very friendly and very intelligent. She has good recall and walks well on the lead. Bexs is having to be rehomed due to their owner having a severe car accident. She is in kennels at present where she is quite stressed and would fit into most family environments without any problem.

Bella - Kent

Bella is a 3 year unspayed bitch. She is good with children and although she has not had a lot of contact with other dogs except her sister, she likes to play with other dogs. She has lived with a cat but tended to hassle it. Bella is very friendly and can get quite excited meeting new people and has never shown any aggression. She has good recall but is very strong on the lead so will benefit from some training. Bella is having to be rehomed due to their owner having a severe car accident. She is in kennels at present where she is quite stressed and will need an experienced owner who is ready to take on this lovely, strong, excitable girl.

Sookie - Devon

This cheeky face belongs to 10 month unspayed Sookie. She was bought up with young children but we would rehome with older children only as she is quite boisterous. She is good with other large dogs off lead. She did live happily with another dog for 5 months. Sookie is very energetic and exuberant, and will jump up. She lacks training and is quite strong on the lead. She needs a home where she will be taught some manners and boundaries. This poor girl urgently needs a home as her owners are moving into a flat and working long hours.

Frank - Stafford

This is big boy Frank, a 4 year old GSD x Ridgeback who is neutered and vaccinated.  He has lived with a child but due to his size it would be best to place him with older ones, can live with a steady dog but a definite no to cats!!  He was originally found on the streets as a stray and his previous owner spent a lot of time in training him and received a lot of certificates, he even went to work with his owner in the office.  We were informed he needed careful introduction to new people he meets but he is now in kennels and has met so many people and staff and has not been an issue; in fact they all adore him.  Anyone with experience, looking for a large dog, look no further, Frank is your dog!!,

Ben - London

Ben is a 5-year-old handsome chap who is not doing very well in his current home. He lives with a very vulnerable family with ill health, hence he thinks he needs to protect them from the world. His owners can't handle his protectiveness which comes across as aggression towards visitors. Ben is also strong and all these factors together result is him not getting sufficient amount of exercise and socialisation. He is brilliant with his family though - once he gets to know you, he'll give you all his heart. Ben is looking for an experienced, confident owner who will give Ben clear rules, good amount of walks, opportunity to socialise in a safe manner with dogs and people and first and foremost, wise leadership as we are sure Ben is really tired of his position of a household protector, which he thinks is his job!  Ben is very good in the house environment - housetrained and without any signs of separation anxiety. He cannot be rehomed with cats or children though. Are you this special person who is looking for a proper German Shepherd with breed-typical qualities? Ben is waiting for you!

Josie - Bristol

Josie is a 10 year spayed bitch. This poor girl’s owner died and she is currently living in the house alone with a couple of visits a day from relatives. Josie has become very protective of her home and is very confused at present and will need somebody patient who will give her the time to learn to bond with them. She is not really known with other dogs but has lived with one in the past.  Josie is good on the lead but recall unknown.

Khan - Worcester

This absolutely stunning dog is 1 year old Khan.  A gorgeous long coat GSD who has been neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped.  Although he currently lives with an elderly spaniel he is extremely vocal when he comes across other dogs when out on a lead so further socialising/training is essential, due to his size he would be best placed with teenagers and definitely no cats.  He is housetrained, travels well in the car.  Our assessor found him to be a gentle and inquisitive dog when she first met him, she said he walked well on the halti and was very obedient.  Khan certainly deserves a home where he will be given the exercise and stimulation a lovely, big dog like Khan needs.

Rocky - Telford

This truly stunning example of the breed is Rocky who at only 22 months desperately needs a new forever home.  Although he currently lives with young children it is advised due to his excitable behaviour and size he is rehomed with much older children, he has not been socialised with other dogs but our assessor said that with time, effort and the right owner he will be fine with them but a definite no to cats.  He has been neutered and micro-chipped but his vaccinations are now out of date.  Although he never went to puppy class he knows basic commands but gets distracted, with an experienced owner he will make a fantastic dog who is in desperate need of stimulation and exercise.  Sadly, as in many of these cases, the breeder was only interested in the money and not the long term welfare of the dog; Rocky has become too much for his current family and are unable to give him the time and stimulation a fabulous dog like him requires.  Can you?

Tala - Notts

This lovely lad is 2 year old Tala who is up to date with his vaccinations and entire.  He currently lives with children but would be best placed with much older, more experienced ones, loves to play with other dogs but a definite no to cats.  Tala will need firm handling and will need to know who is the leader (certainly not him!), he would benefit from further training as he has not been allowed off lead.  He is housetrained, travels well and will make a fabulous dog in the right home where he will be stimulated and allowed the chance to have a good run out in the fields.

Camy - Lou

Camy Lou is a beautiful 5yr old spayed bitch. She is a calm and friendly dog in the house. She loves her walks, being outside and also likes swimming so can be a little excitable when she thinks she is about to go out. Camy Lou has had a rough start to life. Her current owners rescued her a year ago. She was in quite a sorry state but with time and patience they have got her to where she is today. She is insured and vaccinated. Camy Lou is great with people but she suffers from toy aggression. She takes little notice of other dogs when out but she is very stick/toy orientated and will need to be muzzled when out to prevent any incidents. Camy Lou responds to basic commands and has a good recall unless she is distracted by a stick or toy. Her current owners love her dearly but are sadly unable to keep her as she attacked one of their other dogs, while in the home, because of a stick. This gorgeous girl has a lot of love to give and would benefit from an experienced GSD owner with no other pets and no children.

Layla - Norfolk

Layla is a lovely 2yr old bitch in desperate need of some love and attention. She was being kept in a run down, outside kennel with straw as her only comfort. She is very friendly and didn’t bark once when we went to assess her, she was just glad of some attention. She is quite underweight and has little muscle tone on her back end. This will improve once she is being fed and exercised more regularly. Her owner is seriously ill and has moved away to be with his family leaving Layla to be looked after by a man, who was trying to help the owner out, but who has struggled due to his own workload and other commitments. This young girl needs time, patience and most of all love to steer her back onto the road to good health. She would ideally suit an experienced owner without young children.

Nina - Nuneaton

This lovely girl is 3 year old Nina, who is entire, up to date with her vaccinations and micro-chipped.  This poor girl was clearly loved by her previous owners but sadly they did not provide her with the socialisation she desperately needs due to lack of understanding of the breed.  She is housetrained and knows a few commands and walks on a halti.  When our assessor met her, she was barking and reared up but the assessor talked to her in a calm voice and Nina soon enjoyed the attention and the fuss and attention.  Therefore, in the right hands this beautiful girl will flourish and make a fabulous addition to a home preferably not with children as she has not had any introduction to them and will need careful introduction to other dogs and definitely no cats.

Willow - Nuneaton

Let me introduce you to the utterly gorgeous, big boy Willow.  He is 4 years old (5 in Jul), entire and not vaccinated.  Due to his size and strength it would be best to rehome him to a family with much older teenagers or no children at all, definitely no cats and needs to be carefully introduced to other dogs.  Our assessor did find him to be a little lively but soon calmed down and Willow enjoyed a fuss and a cuddle.  Willow is very large dog and has not be shown any ground rules and therefore his new owners need to work with him but in return they will have a fabulous dog!

Bruno - Cambs

Bruno is a friendly 2yr old long haired neutered male. He is vaccinated and micro-chipped. He is currently living with other dogs but would benefit from further socialisation outside of the home. Bruno does not like cats. He responds to basic commands and is good off lead with an excellent recall. He enjoys being groomed and is in very good condition. Bruno is a well loved dog but his owners have lost confidence in him. He is a very loyal dog who can be a little protective so would benefit from an experienced GSD owner who can keep this in check.

Buddy - West Mids

This lovely dog is 8 years young Buddy who is entire and vaccinations are overdue.  He currently lives with a family, a cat, loves to play with other dogs in the park and previously lived with dogs in a former home.  The family are no longer able to keep Buddy due to his food aggression and behaviour towards various members of the family.  However, our assessor found him to be a lovely, friendly dog who was energetic and this was no doubt due to not getting enough exercise or stimulation. In the right home he would make a fabulous addition and would suit an active family preferably with older children due to his excitable nature.  

Kira - West Brom

This delightful girl is 7 years young Kira who is spayed but not up to date with her vaccinations. She is good with children but unknown with dogs due to lack of socialisation and a no to cats. She is housetrained and travels well in the car. Our assessor found her to be a lovely and friendly dog who is sadly not being walked and therefore pulls on the lead. She is in desperate need of a new home where she will be stimulated and exercised but in return you will have a loving and affectionate dog!

Louie - Coventry

This lovely friendly lad is 8 years young Louie.  He is neutered, vaccinated and house trained.  He is sadly overweight due to lack of exercise but when our assessor took him out she found he eventually walked well on the lead after initially pulling and responded well to commands but could not test his recall.  A definite no to cats and dogs he will dominate them so would be best placed as an only dog and to further socialise with other dogs. Louie is a water baby, loves to swim but doesn't like to go out of his depth, travels well in the car but hates fireworks!  A friendly dog who really enjoys the attention he deserves and needs a home soon!

Bailey - Suffolk

Bailey is a friendly 5yr old neutered male. He has shown some aggression issues in his current home but he is being left to his own devices for long periods and is under stimulated. Our volunteer found Bailey to be very social and saw no signs of aggression. He needs an experienced GSD owner that can spend the time needed to channel Baileys attentions in a positive direction. Can you offer Bailey the home he so urgently needs?

Jake - Suffolk

Jake is a 3yr old neutered male. He is currently being left alone for long periods, not walked or groomed. Despite his lack of attention Jake is a friendly boy. He needs an experienced owner who can go back to basics and teach him some manners and give him some guidance on acceptable behaviour. Jakes long coat needs a good groom. This young dog is desperate for a home where he will be loved and receive the attention and exercise that every dog deserves.

Theo

This beautiful boy is 4 year old Theo who will need an experienced owner to provide him with time for exercise and socialization.  He currently lives with another dog and children but would now be best placed with much older teenagers.  Although he lives with another dog and gets on well with her, he does not like other dogs when out.  He is fully vaccinated and neutered.  He requires a home with GSD experience who will guide and stimulate him, in return you will have a fabulous loving dog.

Gandalf - Leicestershire

This lovely boy is 2 year old Gandalf also known as G Bear.  He is up to date with vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped.  He is good with children but will need to be homed as the only pet as he likes to enjoy all the fuss and tummy tickles for himself; and following an attack by another dog when he was only 15 weeks old he can no longer tolerate other dogs or any other furry creatures.  He is house-trained and has good basic commands.  He has unfortunately been diagnosed with hip dysplasia but thanks to his good muscle tone the vet has advised he does not require an operation; the current pet insurance is trasnferrable.  Our assessor found him to be a friendly and pleasant dog, walked well on the lead; his current owner sadly has to give him up as she is unable to control him around other dogs and the other pets in the home.  He will suit an experienced owner who will understand his behavior and provide him with the guidance and manners he requires.

Lulu - Nuneaton

This beautiful little girl is 3 year old Lulu who is fully vaccinated and micro-chipped and spayed and currently in foster. She has previously lived with children and is ok with most dogs but cannot tolerate small ones and definitely no cats. She is fully house trained but will require further training as she will pull on the lead and needs to learn a few manners. She suffers with dust and food allergies and is currently on medication and a special diet for this; she is currently insured and this is transferrable. She will require a firm handler who can provide her with the guidance and socialization she requires as well as the care needed with her allergy. A lovely girl who needs a chance to enjoy another loving 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.

Wendle - Somerset

Wendle is a 5 year old male. He can be slightly aloof but is a very confident dog. He will be very loyal to his handler but will become protective of them and his territory. Wendle is alert but quiet. He is fit and healthy. He is not keen on other dogs. This boy will need an experienced and understanding handler.
