German Shepherds that urgently need homes

These are dogs that desperately need out of kennels or their current homes

Stella

Stella is a 7 year old unsprayed bitch. She does not like other dogs, however she is not aggressive towards them. She does not like cats either. Stella is strong on the lead so will need training. She is good with children but because she has not had much if any training, we would rehome with older children only. She is only being rehomed as her owners has had to move into accommodation where dogs are not allowed.

Milly an Abbey - DESPERATE situation

These 2 sisters are 7 years young and have never been apart.  Neither are spayed or vaccinated. Millie is on the left and Abbey the right of the photo.  The girls are very friendly and have been fine with the owner’s children of all ages. Apart from the family Jack Russel, they have never been socialised with other dogs.  Millie & Abbey have spent all their lives living in the yard with a brick built kennel. They have never lived in a house, worn a collar or been on a walk so have never seen anything outside of their property. They are in desperate need of a groom and human affection. Being rehomed as owner is having to leave the property. Can you help?

Rocky - desperately overweight through lack of excercise

This gorgeous boy is 5 yr old, neutered male, Rocky. Desperately overwieght, as he isnt getting any exercise. Rocky has an issue with his lead, and grabs it out of owners hand, so owner not confident enough to walk him now. Rocky is ok with other dogs, if introduced correctly. Barks at cats, Rocky has never mixed with children. Barks initially at visitors, then greets them in a very friendly manner. Vaccinated & microchipped. Needs a firm owner who will teach Rocky how to behave!

Chance

Chance is a 7 year old Male. His previous owners had him for 5 years and got him from a breeder when he was about 15 months old. He is aggressive with male dogs but is ok with females if introduced slowly. He is great with people and children but proved too strong to walk and too aggressive when he saw dogs. They gave him up to an older lady who could not walk him either so when he strayed no one wanted him back! Can you give Chance another chance?

Inca - At Risk

Inca is a 3 year old spayed bitch.  She has not lived with children so we would only rehome with teenage children. She is nervous of other dogs and chases cats. Inca loves water. Inca has been to obedience class and is good on the lead. She is living with a smaller dog but they do not get on. The owner is moving and Inca must be out before then

Bruce

This absolutely stunning boy, is 2 yr old, neutered male, Bruce. a really friendly dog, greeted our assessor with licks & wagging tail. Bruce is vaccinated, microchipped & housetrained. Bruce gets over excited when travelling & 'talks' the whole journey! Walks nicely to heel. Bruce has been to training classes so knows some commands. He is a big boy, over 40kgs, but not aggressive at all. A really nice dog for any family.

Crystal

This stunning little lady, is 11 month old, unspayed bitch, Crystal. A highly strung, lively girl, who needs discipline. Crystal is vaccinated, and housetrained. Lives with another dog but can be quite aggressive with him when she gets over excited. Crystal barks at alot of things, and this needs addressing. Fine with older children. Crystal would benefit from a very active lifestyle.

Meg and Fern - very urgent

Fern (top) and Meg (bottom) are in DESPERATE NEED FOR A HOME BY THE 4th AUGUST as their owner must be out of their home by then.  Fern is 12 years old and is slightly arthritic on her back legs. Meg is 8 years young and really wants to have a good run. Both dogs are spayed and good with other dogs. They have super temperaments and are good with children.

Simba

Simba is an 8 year old spayed butch. She is a loyal and trusting dog with people when she has sussed them out.  She does live with cats but isn’t that tolerant of them. Her basic commands are good and she is ok on the lead. We wouldn’t rehome her with young children as Simba does suffer from epilepsy which is controllable with medication. SIMBA MUST BE REHOMED BEFORE THE  2nd AUGUST as her owner is losing his accommodation.

Suzie and Bruno - do you have a big heart?

This is Suzie & Bruno, both 10 yrs old. Bruno is neutered, Suzie not spayed. Neither vaccinated or microchipped. As you can see, these lovely older dogs have been very neglected and both could do with going to see the groomer. Poor Suzie looks terrified and neither look as if they have been walked in a long time. It would be lovely for them to stay together in a home where they would get the love they really do deserve. Lovely dogs and so sad to see that they have been treated like this.

Zac

ZAC is a 3yr old boy neutered, vaccinated until june 2011 he is also micro chipped. The owners baught him at 6 weeks old and he grown up with a child who is 6 yr's old who can do anything with him. Although, zac is fine with the little boy and his friends, his owner is always a little concerned when he has friends over to play, because Zac is quite protective of the child. ZAC is good with most other dogs but not with any other animals, has chased cats, rabbits, birds, sheep and horses. He never chews when left at home, likes going in the car, and he's not really a vocal dog. He loves baths but tries to grab the brush when groomed. he has always lived in doors and is fully house trained. He does sometimes have a sensitive tummy, and so is fed with a sensitive dry food. Although he did go to some training classes when he was younger, due to the owners illness, he has not been walked very much and he does pull when walked, probably due to excitement at being out. He would need a strong owner with some GSD exp. he has no medical issues. He is very active so would need a younger fit owner. He has absolutely no food or toy aggression as the owner demonstrated. All in all a cracking dog who will make a fantastic companion for the right family.

Bella

This lovely girl, is 8 yr old, spayed bitch, Bella. Microchipped, booster due now. Housetrained & good in the car. Bella is a nervous girl, who is wary of strangers & new situations. Bella gets quite anxious around other dogs, so needs help to overcome these issues. She likes having a bath & with people she trusts is loving. Cats no. Due to her nervous nature we wont rehome with children.

Sadie

Sadie is a 5 year old unspayed bitch.  She has had little socialisation with other dogs so does chase them but is good with children and people and wants to play with them. Sadie does pull on the lead and would benefit from some training and has no road sense. Sadie is being rehomed as she is stuck in a small flat and the owner is suffering financial difficulties. Lovely little girl that needs a home to give her what she deserves.

Lady

This is Lady, approx 7 years old, spayed bitch. Lady was left behind when her owners moved out, and a neighbour took her in. Unfortunately she is too much for this person to handle. Lady is quite a dominant girl, strong on the lead. She isnt keen on other dogs when out, and has attacked when off lead. With the right , experienced, firm owner, Lady will be a great girl. She just needs leadership. Housetrained. Fine with people. Cats unknown. Lady is overweight & bored, and this is coming out in her behaviour. Upto date wuth vaccinations.

Bruno and Rosco - terrible life

Bruno & Rosco's owner has recently died, leaving them alone with a relative popping in each day to feed them. They are 5 yr old , enitre brothers, who have never left the garden that they live in. They sleep in the shed at night & have the run of the garden in the day. Its no wonder when our assessor went out they jumped all over her in excitement to see somebody. Not vaccinated. Not microchipped. Never been in a car, or walked on a lead. These 2 boys need to be rehomed together as that is all they have ever known & are close. The relative isnt sure which one is Bruno, & which is Rosco. Will make wonderful dogs for somebody willing to give them some time & teach them how to enjoy life.

Zoe

This is 7 yr old, unspayed bitch, Zoe. A really lovely friendly girl with adults & children. In good health. Vaccinated, booster due July '10. Dislikes cats. Zoe is not keen on other dogs, & although she has always lived with her sister Petra, also up for rehoming, is too dominant with her, so we are rehoming them separately. Travels well in the car. Not microchipped. Lives outside, but could be integrated easily into living indoors. Bit possessive over food with other dogs. Doesnt chew when left. A really playful dog who will brighten up anybodys life.

Tasha

This pretty lady is 2 yr old, unspayed bitch, Tasha. Housetrained ,vaccinated & microchipped. Tasha lives with another dog, but is quite bossy, possessive over her toys. Older children only. Cats unknown. Pulls on the lead at first, but soon settles. Would benefit from training & socialising, ideally to live with an older steady dog. Doesnt chew when left. Has good recall. Has an undershot jaw, but it is hardly noticeable & causes her no problems.

Sheba

This is Sheba is about 6-7 yrs she came into rescue almost 2 yrs ago, was home but sadly due to illness she is looking for a new home. She is a very nice girl she is spayed she lives with another GSD male and they get on well. Sheba doesn't like cats but is fine with other dogs and children. Sheba is just looking for a quiet place to call her own loves her walks. Sheba is Black and tan semi coated. She is vaccinated and this is paid for  life .She is a good family dog she travels well.Sheba is on Propolin as she does have bladder weakness but this is only at night and on the medication she is fine.This is an urgent case and an offer of a foster home would be welcome.

Alfie

This handsome young man is 17 mth old, entire male Alfie. A loving dog with people he knows, but nervous of strangers. Alfie's owner doesnt have the experience or confidence to walk Alfie, so he is getting much exercise.When he does get walked,his owners issues are transgressing onto Alfie,and he can come across quite mouthy. With an experienced owner & some basic training, he will become a wonderful dog.

This beauty is 6 yr old , spayed bitch, Princess. A really, nice friendly girl, who has had an awful life so far. Princess & her brother Buster, also up for rehoming, have been kept outside in a shed all their lives. Could be rehomed together, or separately. Princess walks nicely on the lead, a friendly calm girl, who is a pleasure to be around.

Jack

Jack is aged 6 DOB October 2003.  Jack is a long coat Black and tan boy who is clipped quite regularly.  Jack has been a guard dog for his owners Newsagents and is being rehomed due to the Newsagents being sold and the owners going to live abroad.  Not microchipped and not up to date with vaccinations.  Jack has never had a reason to go to the vets and has no health issues. Jack has not lived with cats or other dogs and has only lived with the owners older children. So a home with no children or older children.  Jack is house trained and has never been destructive. Jack knows his basic commands and understands English and Punjabi, he loves his pink towel and likes to play tug of war, its like a comfort blanket too him.  Has been fed a gourmet diet.  Good on lead pulls for the first few minutes into the walk but soon settles down, ignores other dogs on a walk.  Has never been let off lead so recall not known.  Jack reacted to the volunteer by barking on entry into the shop, but took treats gently and was fine with the volunteer during the interview and photo session.   Jack is like a big teddy bear.  Has no food aggression, travels OK but only likes going short distances.

Trevor

Trevor is a gorgeous semi tan & black spayed boy who will be 4 in May.  He was rehomed to his current family after his previous owners split.  He has lived with small children and is OK around livestock as he lived on a farm.  He did have issues with traffic when on a walk but that has been overcome although still a little nervous and is constantly observing his surroundings when out and about. Trevor is a big strong dog that would need a confident, experienced GSD owner as he needs to know the rules and boundaries and is prepared to work on his social skills around people and dogs in order to build his confidence.
