We were asked to take in this happy lad Hogan, who is wasjust 18 months old. Now neutered and vaccinationed, and he is microchipped and even though a foreign microchip has been registered.

“We threw an emergency life line to Hogan yesterday. He was taken into a vets to be destroyed yesterday at only a year and a half old for his reaction to strangers and his reaction being given direction. Luckily the vets spoke to us and he is now safe with us.”

Turns out he is a really nice young lad. He was sent with a bag of his belongings which included an electric shock collar and a prong collar, which may go some way to explaining his reaction to direction.”

Hogan did need some muscle build up on his back end and was thoroughly examined when he went to the vets. His xrays showed slight hip displacia but not enough to warrant surgery so he was placed into foster and began hydrotherapy which has worked wonders.

This is what his foster family say about him:

“Hogan is 22 months old now, he has settled into a good routine. He responds to his name/ sit/down/ paw/wait / no etc. He takes treats nicely, no food aggression.

Hogan occasionally mouths when he gets over excited, but soon calms down with a firm ‘No’ & a distraction with a ball or toy. He is left indoors for a few hours with no problems. Hogan has played with an older female GSD, so could possibly live with another large female with careful introduction.When out walking he doesn’t like small dogs, cyclists or people running towards him, but is ok when someone is introduced in a calm manor. Hogan has welcomed a few of our friends recently for garden visits.
Hogan loves water & is currently having hydrotherapy which he really enjoys & has been very beneficial to him. Hogan is a Happy fun loving Lad, a typical youngster quick to learn & wants explore new things.”

This lad would thrive in a GSD experienced home being given the right direction and training without the need for ‘tools’!

Hogan has been adopted.

Why we do what we do

German Shepherd Rescue Elite was not only set up to help as many unwanted, abandoned and neglected German Shepherds as possible, but to also offer education to the general public on the responsibilities / pros / cons of owning a large working breed dog and to be able to offer help and advice so hopefully we can become the prevention for once instead of always being the cure.
