May I introduce Blaze who is a GSD cross, but a truly stunning lad with a character to match. Currently with another rescue, he was handed in as his owner was not allowed to keep him in the flat having had him since a pup. Blaze is 7, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. A lovely lad to handle and very gentle, but he is not doing well in kennels and is losing weight from the stress. Previously lived with teenage children who he adored. Loves people in general! Blaze loves to play fetch and has no issues with food or toys. Tends to ignore other dogs but will air snap if a large dog comes too  close into his space. He does chase cats. Can anyone help this sweet, gentle lad please? This gorgeous lad is now settling with his new mum and dad. This handsome buy had a wonderful life but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge.

May I introduce Sasha who is not pure GSD. 4 years and spayed, she is microchipped but vaccinations may be out of date. Sasha is good with children and other dogs but a no to cats. Being rehomed due to ill health, this lady is good on the lead and has basic commands. Recall is hit and miss so needs working on! A lovely friendly girl who should fit into most homes, Sasha is fine being left and travels well. How can you resist? Currently in foster. Sasha has now gone to her new home. Beautiful Sasha has passed over Rainbow Bridge having severe arthritis and hip problems.

May I introduce Ben who is nearly 5. Currently entire, he is microchipped but his vaccinations have lapsed. Ben was taken in by a family from former friends who were planning on giving him away however they do not have the space to accommodate him long term. Ben is good with children and is currently living with an 8 year old. Very friendly with people. He was fine with other dogs but about a year ago he was attacked in the park and can now be very vocal towards them. Will need some work being resocialised. He does need more lead training however has not been getting as much exercise as is ideal and not currently able to go off lead where he lives.  A no to cats. Ben does seem to be more responsive to men. He loves his ball and apparently sings along with some TV ads! A happy chappy all in all! Ben is now in his new home! Ben has passed over Rainbow Bridge.

This gorgeous girl is 5 year Honey. She is unspayed but is microchipped. Honey’s current owner rescued her along with another shepherd 8 months ago where they were living in a field. Unfortunately the Council are not happy with his collection of rescued animals in his small property where he is only permitted to have 2 dogs. He has managed to find a home for the other shep but Honey desperately needs a home. Honey is currently living with 2 bull mastiffs. She is a beautiful, placid girl and walked well for our volunteer. We are told she can be a little selective on recall if other dogs are about but knows her basic commands. We are told she can be a bit gobby when meeting new dogs but not dominant or aggressive. She has also lived with a cat and was a cuddle monster for the kittens the cat had. Honey appears in good condition but she is blind in the left eye, the result of being kicked by a horse when younger. Can you please give Honey a home? Honey is now settling into her new home. The beautiful Honey has passed over Rainbow Bridge after many happy...

May I introduce Shazam, who is a 4 year GSD cross. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Shazam is great with people and visiting children. We are also told he is fine with other dogs. He does chase cats. He has come to us from another rescue where he was not settling in their busy environment. A happy, playful lad but not keen on the vets so does have to be muzzled. This lad will fit into most homes with little trouble. Shazam has found himself a new home! Chas aka Shazam has passed over Rainbow Bridge after a mass was discovered.

Zelda is 8 years old and currently unspayed. She has had 4 litters in her life. She is not vaccinated and she is not microchipped but we will get that sorted. We are told Zelda is good with children and other dogs, however she has spent most of her life living outside! Despite the fact the owner had her since a pup, her answer was that she is a farm dog and is happier outside, despite the fact she had 3 other dogs in the house. Zelda now being rehomed because of a divorce! Zelda is a super friendly girl who just wants some tlc and love, and is full of life and love. Can you give Zelda a home please? Zelda has found her forever home. The gorgeous Zelda has had a wonderful life but now passed over Rainbow Bridge.

May I introduce Jake who is 8 years young. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Jake has been in the same home since a pup and is now being rehomed as his owner has arthritis and is unable to give him the exercise he needs. We are told Jake is good with children and other dogs but he has probably not had much socialisation recently. He barked when our volunteer arrived but then gave a nice greeting and settled down. He did pull on the lead so will need some reminding but has recall and basic commands. No issues with toys or food. Jake can be anxious around loud noises such as the hoover but otherwise is a nice, calm, friendly lad who is in need of a home that can give him the exercise and time he needs. Can you help Jake please? Jake came into foster and was a good boy with the other dogs. The lucky lad has now been adopted. Gorgeous Jake has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge but had a wonderful time to the end and was very much loved.

Harley is not a pure GSD. Just 2 years of age, she is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Harley was adopted from us last year but her owners now work full time meaning the dogs are left 6-8 hours every day which Harley is not enjoying. She originally came into us at 1 year of age after her original owners had been evicted. She had been living with young children. This lovely girl is great with people and never been an issue with other dogs. She can get over excited when she meets them. We are told a no to cats but she is ok with horses and does not bark at them. Harley walks nicely with a halti and has basic commands, but recall still needs some work. No issues with toys or food and does love her treats. Harley can open doors so be warned, but otherwise this super young girl would fit in most homes with little fuss. Can you please give Harley a home? Harley went for a short foster break and got herself adopted. Beautiful Harley has sadly gone over Rainbow Bridge after a tragic accident. Her family are heart broken. Run free beautiful girl. X

This handsome lad came to us from a pound in Wales where he had been taken in via Social Services. Noah was microchipped and we discovered he is 9 years old, having thought he was about 6 bless him. He came in a terrible state, severely underweight, but the kennels have been helping pile the pound back on. Has had his fist vaccination. This lad has accepted and got on with everyone he has met including dogs. Will take an awful lot to phase this calm gent! Noah would just like a quiet and loving home to retire to please. Noah has bagged himself a super home! Noah had a wonderful 4 plus years with his new home where he was adored but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Meet Kai. He is 5yo, neutered, vaccinations are out of date but he is chipped. We are told he is fine with children, ok with dogs as long as they do not show aggression to him, ok with cats in the home. Our assessor found Kai to be a friendly boy who now appears to be unwanted by his owner and needs to find himself somewhere to go as soon as possible. Can anyone help? Kai is now with his new family. This lovely lad, renamed Boris, has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge.

This poor lass keeps getting overlooked but has such a loving, sunny nature! Amy was with another rescue and had come in from Ireland so very little is known on her history. She is  4 years and is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Unknown with children so we would only rehome her with older children. Whilst she came in with a young male GSD she was proving to be reactive to other dogs so we took her into foster to assess this situation properly as it may just have been the environment affecting her. So far Amy has been good with most dogs she has met. Not keen on bitches and can be dominant but no major aggression. She has also met a cat and was wary so may well have lived with one in the past. Amy has  never shown any aggression towards people and walks on a harness and slip lead. She does have basic commands and recall is ok so far in the garden.She loves water as her foster mum discovered. Can someone out there give Amy a forever home and a chance please? Amy is now settling in with her new family. Amy had a wonderful time...

Benson will be 2 in April and is still entire.  Benson is vaccinated and micro chipped. Benson is brilliant with children of all ages and good with other dogs, currently living with two King Charles. Benson does chase cats. Benson is being re-homed as his owner works full time and whilst he is outside during the day, she knows she cannot give him the time and attention he deserves. Benson is a beautiful and loving dog that would quite happily sit on your lap all day if you let him. Benson does not have a nasty bone in his body. Benson’s favourite game is football! Can you give the gorgeous Benson a home? This lovely young lad has found himself a wonderful furever home through us. Benson has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge.  

May I introduce Tia who is a 6 year bitch who is spayed and microchipped but vaccinations are out of date. Tia is good with children of all ages, dogs and cats! She has been in the same home since a pup and is only being rehomed as her owner’s work commitments have changed. Tia is never walked on a lead but stays to heel and has recall and all basic commands. No possession issues. She can have a sensitive tum but kept on her routine diet she is fine. Described by our volunteer as, “A totally stunning and gentle girl, bomb proof! They met horses and dogs on their walk with no reaction. Brilliant with children of all ages. Lives with 2 cats and ignores them. Walks without a lead to heel. Walked fine with me on the lead and did not pull at all. Stunnign girl would suit any home.” Sounds too good to miss! Tia has trotted off to her wonderful new home. The gorgeous Tia has sadly gone over Rainbow Bridge after many happy years.

This lovely lass is 10 year Roxy who arrived with us in October 2014. She is vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. We were asked to take Roxy in as an emergency case as her owner was unable to keep her. We were told she can be very protective in the home.  Not used to children but good with large dogs. Roxy came in a very scared overweight girl.  She had back muscle wastage due to lack of exercise. Over the course of her time in kennels Roxy has undergone a total transformation in both appearance and character.  She is now looking absolutely stunning! Roxy greets people she knows and trusts with a smile and a very waggy tail. She hasn’t been fazed by horses, donkeys or chickens but is a definite no to cats and care must be taken around small yappy dogs. Roxy really loves to play ball especially boomer ball. However she has no possession issues either of toys or food. Roxy could potentially be protective in a home environment (but that’s a GSD trait).  This can be managed by adopting simple safe strategies for introducing new people to the home. Whilst she is good with other large dogs out...

This lovely lady is seven-year-old Macey. Macy came into our possession approximately 3 months ago, and it was clear from her extremely unstablebehaviour that she had been having a hard time. Within the last three months Macy has shown herself to be a very loving, sensitive and caring animal. However her past mistreatment does make her very nervous, and it is essential that any new person or animal is introduced to her with care. If Macey is stressed out or feels threatened she has a tendency to nip. This tendency is rapidly declining as she finds herself in a more loving caring environment, however we have to recommend that until she has stabilised she wears a muzzle when in public places. For those people that Macey trusts, she is your ever loving friend. She loves interactive games of ball or chase with her owner, and loves patrolling her garden, looking for a sparrow or pigeon to chase. She also likes to sit by the front door, looking through the glass and barking at anyone who goes by. Macy loves her walks, but walks best in a more open environment where she can see what’s coming and is not suddenly surprised. Macy would best suit a large property with ample grounds for her to roam in,...

Susie is 9 years old and is spayed and microchipped. Vaccinations have been bought up to date. Susie’s owner didn’t want her so she has been in kennels for the last 2 years where he has paid for her boarding. She was supposedly a working dog but was no good at it as she was too friendly. She can sometimes be nervous of strangers and barks but quickly makes friends. She would not live with another dog but is fine out and about on lead, but off lead she can be quite dominant. We are told a no to cats but she ignores horses. Susie is lacking in muscle due to a lack of exercise, but this is being rebuilt up slowly. Susie does not have the greatest hips and is on regular pain relief which seems to be helping at present. This lovely lass needs a retirement home please where she will be the only dog and get some tlc and love out of the kennel environment where she has spent way too long already in her life. Will make a super companion for someone! Susie is staying with her foster home. Susie had the most wonderful home who...

This poor lass is 4 year Elsa. Elsa is unspayed and was not vaccinated or microchipped. Elsa is not used to living with other dogs but had to move in with her owner’s daughter as her mum is in hospital long term, and the daughter’s older bitch and Elsa do not get on. With people, Elsa is a little wary of men at first but very quickly wants cuddles and attention. Unknown with children and cats. Elsa will need lead training but we are told she has recall and some basic commands. Was taken into kennels where they say she is shy and needs lead training but otherwise a lovely girl. Now in foster and settling in with 2 other dogs, a lab bitch and a border collie male. In need of a loving home where she will get some tlc, can you help please? Elsa is now settling into her forever home. One happy girl! The beautiful Elsa had a wonderful life with her family but has now sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Diesel is 5 years neutered and up to date with jabs. Diesel hasn’t had the easiest of starts to life coming from a domestic violence situation but has come on hugely whilst being in foster. He is a bit special and can be too full on for some dogs but is currently living with four others male and female and has other boarding dogs in regularly, he has to be correctly introduced but once he has he simply wants to play. Diesel can’t live with children or cats. He will guard the home but is much better than he used to be and responds well to treat training with this. He walks well on a lead but does get very excited at the beginning of walks, he loves the car and travels no problem. Diesel does have hip dysplasia but is only on seraquin for this and runs around enjoying his walks with no trouble. Diesel needs an experienced owner as he does have some mental scars from previous experiences but he is a lovely lad who just wants to be loved. He would really like another dog in his home to play with and help give him confidence in...

This lovely girl is 8 year young Shelley who is spayed and microchipped but not currently vaccinated. Shelly is fine with older children but not had interaction with younger and probably would rather not at this age. She is good with other dogs, if anything wary, but does not like cats. Shelly is a typical GSD and barks like mad when someone is at the door but soon settles. She does pull on the lead but is good off lead and has recall and basic commands. She loves tennis balls and laser lights! Being rehomed due to owner’s health which means she is unable to give Shelly the exercise she needs. Can you offer Shelly a home please? Shelly is now settling into her new home. Shelley had a wonderful life with her family but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Hugo is 6 years old. He is vaccinated and microchipped. Now neutered. We were asked to take him in by another rescue and this is what we were told: “I have a welfare case at my kennels that has been signed over from owner. He was owned by a family and sadly was mistreated and left out in the yard all his life. Hugo hasn’t had much interaction with people or socialisation within the big wide world. He knows a few commands – sit, paw and other one. He can get frustrated on lead and does at times bite the lead.” Hugo is going to need an experienced home that is aware of the issues he may display and why and be able to manage them. No children. Not sure of other dogs and avoids due to lack of socialisation. May be able to live with a female. Unknown with cats. Do you have the experience and time to show this lad that life can actually be fun? This is what the kennels say about him: “Look at this Chunky boy Hugo his 5 years old spent his life living outside neglected 😢can he start the new year in a forever...

This lovely lad is 5 year Tyson who is neutered, microchipped and we believe vaccinated. Tyson is good with children and other dogs but a no to cats. He has lived with a female Staffy and been with his owners since a pup.  Will need some lead training as he does pull, but our volunteer found him very responsive . Tyson has basic commands and recall when no distractions! The poor lad has suffered from a skin condition which finally seems to have cleared up. He aggravated the situation by chewing the sore spots. Tyson is a sweet lad, not large and a little timid initially. Sadly his owner is losing her home and has nowhere to go where she can take him.  He loves his ball and a good game! This lovely young lad just needs a new home to continue his love and care please! Tyson has trotted off to his new home. At just 9 years old this lovely lad has gone over Rainbow Bridge due to bleeding from his liver.

This handsome man is 8 years young. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Shadow came into us because his dad had to go into residential care due to dementia and Shadow was left home alone since then. The son sadly lived across town so could not visit Shadow often enough, but thanks to neighbours, he has been getting cared for but of course was desperately lonely and depressed, He is safe now in our care. Shadow is fine with children but older only please as he has  not had much interaction with little ones. We are told he is selective about dogs but has been waggy tail with all he has met. A no to cats. Shadow does suffer with Lupus but this is easily managed with drugs and a good diet, and is not majorly expensive. This lad so deserves to be in a home again please and will make someone a wonderful companion. This is what the kennels say about him: “The very handsome, quiet, unassuming, polite and very friendly lad shads,,,,,,, such a dear lad, wants to be close but after spending 7 weeks alone its hardly suprising, lovely appetite, walks beautifully on lead right by your...

Jet came into the rescue a nervous young man at the age of 4. In foster he was good with other dogs and the cats. Unknown with children. Jet needed a confident and calm home that could give him the patience he needed. The lucky lad spent 7 wonderful years with his family but now at 11 years of age has passed over Rainbow Bridge. “Our beautiful boy Jet lost his battle against his troubles last night at 18.08. He couldn’t walk and was obviously in considerable distress so the kindest route was a visit to the vet to give him his wings to Rainbow Bridge. Over the last 6 plus years, he has never left our side and If Jet was not allowed somewhere, then we didn’t go!! A troubled lad when we adopted him, he became a loyal, gentle and much loved magnificent boy. He made many friends locally and far afield and was very keen to have a fuss with most people he met. He was calendar boy in January 2015 (the first GSRE calendar) and is also included in Allison and Lizzy’s book!! House is so empty without him. God bless Jet. Gone to join his...

Leo and his friend Sambuca are both being rehomed as their owner has had a brain haemorrhage and family members are struggling to give them the time and care they deserve. Sambuca is 4 years, spayed and microchipped, but unsure if vaccinated. She is good with children and male dogs but a no to cats. Sambuca is a lovely friendly girl who loves a fuss. She can be a little snatchy with treats but has kind eyes and a loving temperament. She is fairly good on the lead once she has got to the park, and has recall and basic commands. Sambuca can be food aggressive so is fed separately from Leo. Both dogs are well adjusted and obedient and whilst it would be nice to keep them together they are young enough to adjust. Sambuca is now in her new home. Sambuca aka Sammie has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge.

This gorgeous young man is 14 month Ice. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Ice is good with older children (not really had any interaction with younger) but can be selective with other dogs and is a no to cats. He does pull on the lead but walks nicely in a gentle leader. Has recall if not distracted and basic commands. Being rehomed as circumstances have changed and his owner is unable to give him the time and attention he needs. Will fit into most homes who are willing to put in the time furthering his training and socialisation. How can you resist? Ice has trotted off to his new home! This gorgeous lad has been taken way too young with nerve problems in his spine. Over Rainbow Bridge now running free.

This lovely lad is Juke. He came to us from the pound. He is microchipped but all contact details are out of date! Juke is 7 years old, vaccinations now started and now neutered. We would not rehome Juke with young children as we do not know his history, but he has been absolutely super with all people and dogs he has met so far. Can see this lad settling in pretty well anywhere! Can you give Juke a home please? Juke went to a home for just over 24 hours, where they decided he would not like being left having tested this by leaving him and watching on a camera. Not given a fair chance bless him. Currently in foster. Juke is staying with his foster family who are adopting him! The gorgeous Juke has passed over Rainbow Bridge. His family are devastated saying he never put a paw wrong.

This handsome lad is 4 year neutered Bailey who is microchipped but not up to date on his vaccinations. Bailey is good with children of all ages and greets visitors into his home with a bark, takes them a toy to have a fuss and then just lays down.  He is not good with other dogs or cats but this may be due to a lack of socialisation as he used to live with a Yorkie. Bailey is strong on the lead and is never let off, so training will be needed, but he has basic commands. He is missing out on exercise at present as his owner is struggling to meet his needs with a young baby in the house and hence the reason for rehoming. Described by our assessor as a lovely dog, well behaved in the home, bright eyes and lovely clean coat. His owner is very sad to have to rehomed him but cannot cope alone as her partner has left her and wants the best for Bailey. Bailey just needs an experienced home that can give him the training and socialisation he has lacked and he will make a fantastic addition to your family. Bailey...

Hansel and Gretel are just 9 months old. We were asked to take them in by another rescue to help give them the start to life they had missed out on. They were rescued from an awful situation where they had been left to grow up feral and had no socialisation with anything other than each other. They are both very nervous and scared of daylight where they were kept in dark conditions. Hansel and Gretel arrived at Cornwall kennels a week ago and have already made big steps thanks to Auntie Jan and Uncle Chris.  They are now accepting a slip lead being put on and off, have had off lead exercise with a steady older dog and are learning to be handled. They will both need very special homes that have the experience to be firm with them yet give them the confidence and guidance they need.An older dog to guide them would be ideal. This is what Hansel had to say: “Hi Auntie Lizzy, meet me Hansel. Now listen please, my sister and I would like to thank you very much for taking us in, BUT…… was it really necessary to have us dumped at Auntie Jan...

This handsome lad is 4 year BB who is currently entire but is vaccinated and microchipped. BB is being rehomed as his owner is moving back home abroad for family and health reasons and whilst would love to take him with them, BB would not be received well! BB is a fluffy big baby once you get to know him, but initially can come across as being aggressive with the noise he makes when you first walk into his home. He is also very protective of his owner and her son. For this reason we would not home him with children. Very well behaved in the home, BB has not been receiving the exercise he needs recently and will require some training and socialisation when out and about. Some of his siblings went off to be police dogs so in the right hands this super lad could make a fantastic addition. BB is settling into his new home with his dad. BB has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge after a wonderful 6 years with his dad.

Honey is 4 years and currently unspayed.  She is up to date with her vaccinations and microchipped. Honey’s owner is medically not able to care for her dogs properly which means they have not been out for a proper walk since September last year thus why they are being rehomed. They have been kennelled on her property with outside runs. Unknown with children but never shown any aggression to people. She is unpredictable with other dogs when out but we are told is good with cats and ok with horses. Honey is good on the lead (but may need some reminding) and has recall and is trained to a whistle. A nice friendly girl who just needs to get back on track in a home please. Honey is now settling in her new home. The beautiful Honey has passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Another golden oldie looking for a new home, 10yrs young, Spayed, fully vaccinated and we are told she is chipped. The owner tells us she is fine with children and also dogs, lives with a poodle at present, unknown with cats and livestock. Owner is moving to a park home and it’s not that Sheba cannot go it’s because the owner feels she wouldn’t like being inside so much! She hates being in kennels which is where she is now until the 18th Sept for some reason, she loves to have a game of footy but hates thunder and lightening. Can anyone offer this gorgeous older girl a place to call her own please? Sheba is now with her forever family. Sheba lived to a wonderful age of 14 but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge.  

This lovely lass is Bella who is a 7 year spayed GSD cross Husky. Bella is microchipped but now up to date with her vaccinations.

Unknown with cats but has lived with house rabbits! Only being rehomed due to a marriage breakdown,  Bella is a very friendly lass although will need some lead training as she does pull. She does have recall and basic commands however. Bella will fit into most family homes. Can you help her? Bella has now found her new family! Bella had a wonderful life with her family but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge at nearly 13 years of age.

Meet this gorgeous lad that we call Samson. He is 5yrs old, neutered, fully vaccinated and now just needs to be chipped. Not had the greatest of home lifes, very underweight when he came into us and his coat was very matted. Since arriving in kennels everyone who has walked or handled him has fallen in love with him! He is a very friendly boy who seems fine with other dogs on the walks, not cat tested yet. If you think you could offer this boy a place around your table then please get in touch. After moving in to foster care Samson has improved in so many ways so much so that his foster mum cannot bear to part with him! Good luck boy have a great life! x After a happy life Samson has now passed over Rainbow Bridge.  

Zorro is about 4 years old. He came to us from the pound so little known about his history. When he first arrived he was very underweight but already added over 4kg. Now started his vaccinations and will be neutered. We would not rehome with young children. Been fine around dogs at the kennels. Unknown with cats. Zorro is a delightful lad and gets very excitable. He will steal food if given the chance at present but hardly surprising the state he came in. He loves toys and has started small walks to build up his muscle. Will need a GSD experienced home to help him get back on track. Zorro is settling superbly in his new home. Zorro aka Teddy, has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge.  

Meet the lovely Jack, came to us via the dog warden, quite nervous and scared but what a difference in just a few weeks! We think he is about 3yrs, fully vacs and chipped and soon to be neutered. Jack’s confidence has just kept growing since he arrived and now loves the company of all of our vollies, loves his walks out with the other dogs but will still need further socialising in a new home, no history with children so teenagers only, not cat tested or seen around livestock. A very handsome lad with so much to give if someone will give him that chance. If you have a Jack shaped hole in your life, let us know! Jack is now in foster with 2 other dogs and has now settled well. Jack does need some initial time to get used to new people as he can be very wary to start with. He seems to have had some bad experience maybe with having his lead put on and off so work is being done with him re this and he is doing really well. He is a bright lad who does want to learn. He loves the company...

Baloo is 4 years old. He is neutered, due his booster about now, and microchipped. He has been in the same home since a pup and is now having to be rehomed due to illness in the family meaning his owner has had to move into alternative accommodation where he is not allowed a dog. Baloo has never encountered children, so teenagers upwards only. We are told he is ok with other dogs but will nip if they get OTT and he is selective who he wants to play with. A no to cats and not seen livestock. Baloo is better meeting new people outside of the home. He is currently not left so unknown if he would suffers separation anxiety. This lad walks well on the lead and settles quickly. Has recall when not distracted and basic commands. He is toy and treat orientated. No issues over food or toys. Baloo does have a sensitive tum as many sheps do, but sadly this lad also has elbow dysplasia and secondary arthritis, and while it does not seem to affect him at present, he will need a home who understands he will need management so as not to exasperate these...

Say hi to Sally, she came to us after she was taken to the vets to be PTS by her owners for reasons that did not fit the dog we have with us today. When she first arrived she was totally switched off and withdrawn in her out look on everything but over the last few weeks she has really started to come out of herself and enjoy life which is great. She is around 2/3yrs, chipped, season history unknown, we are told fully vaccinated but still trying to locate her card. She has been great around everyone she has met so far, not known with children so teenagers only, will need to be the only dog as she does show some signs of telling other dogs to stay away , this could be down to lack of earlier socialising but this will need working on, no to cats. Sally is not enjoying her time in kennels in that she finds it very noisy and this is making her anxious so does need out as soon as for her to progress. If you think you can offer her the pet free home she needs then please do get in touch....

This stunning lady is 5 year Tasha who is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Tasha was adopted by her current owners 2 years ago from another rescue but they have struggled with her dislike of children and some adults. No previous history known on her so can only imagine children have annoyed her in the past. They are now struggling to walk her and have themselves in a vicious circle where they are nervous of her reactions, which is no doubt making her more protective on the end of the lead. When in the kennels previously, she was attending training classes and none of these issues were apparent. Tasha has no possession issues over food or toys and whilst she appears aggressive when protecting, has never bitten. She is good with other dogs but being a bitch, typically can be dominant, and was living with other dogs when in foster for the previous rescue. No to cats. Tasha just needs an experienced GSD home without children that can get her back on the straight and narrow understanding she does not need to be the protector and should just enjoy life being a dog. Tasha has set off to her new home....

Max is 9 years young and arrived with us on July 2017. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. We were asked to take Max in after his dad died and his mum could not cope with him due to her own medical problems. We are told he is fine with visiting people in the home, including the grandchildren, and lived happily with a JRT. Max is fine with other dogs at the kennels and out walking however when he has gone into a home he has been ‘bossy’ about what he likes and dislikes and becomes very strong when out walking in response to other dogs. Max’s ideal home is a rural area where he would be the only dog and could have land of his own rather than having to be walked on the lead. He will need a firm but fair owner to keep him in his place. Max passed over to Rainbow Bridge peacefully in his sleep.      

May I introduce the rather stunning Millie. Millie is 4 years and spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She has actually come from another rescue where she had been returned after 9 months as she nipped a neighbour. The full story is not known but from all accounts there was no damage done. We would not rehome Millie with children as we do not know her full history. She is currently in foster with other dogs with no problems. Unknown with cats. Millie is a big girl who had not been getting much exercise in her last home so is on a diet and workout! This lovely fluffy girl has shown us nothing but affection and would make a super addition to an adult home with or without other dogs. Can you give Millie a forever home please? Millie is in a home of her own again. Millie has passed over Rainbow Bridge.  

Meet Cleo, she is 4yrs old, still entire, her booster is due now and she is chipped. We are told she is fine with children, needs more work around other dogs and a no to cats and livestock as she will chase. Is ok on the lead when settles and does have some recall, knows her basic commands. She is currently having issues in the home with the other bitch that lives there so needs to find herself another home maybe with a confident male or by herself. Could you be the home for Cleo? Cleo is now over Rainbow Bridge.

May I introduce Shylow who is a GSD cross Malamute. She is 8 years old and is microchipped. Vaccinations are out of date. Shylow is having to be rehomed due to a house move to a flat in London. She is good with children of all ages and large dogs (does not like small yappy dogs), and cats! She used to live with a Collie. Shylow does pull on the lead to start but then settles down. Has recall and basic commands. Good at the vets and travelling, and is fine being left for 3-4 hours. No issues with food or toys. Shylow started life on a farm and has suffered with a few hot spots which may have been caused by the move to an urban life. They are being treated and under control. This super friendly girl would love a home where she can get lots of exercise as she is very active and playful. Are you her home? Shylow has headed off to her new home. Shylow has passed over Rainbow Bridge after a few years of a wonderful life with her family.

May I introduce Darcey who is coming up to 6 years old. She is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Darcey came to us from another rescue having been handed in because she attacked a small dog. She has lived with children and other GSD’s with no problem. Has basic commands and loves a tennis ball. We are also advised she may lick you to death!! A definite no to cats. Darcey has not got the greatest back end in the world but would love a home of her own again please, where she can love her people again. Can you help Darcey? Darcey has set off to start the next chapter in her life! Another girl taken too soon by the dreaded C, but Darcey was loved to the end and is now over Rainbow Bridge.

Form an orderly queue people and have a look at this stunner. This is our Loki, 7yrs old this year, semi long coat, neutered, fully vacs and chipped. Loki has in the past suffered with Anal Furunculosis but with recent course of meds he is now in remission and hopefully will stay that way for some time. Full support will be given to his new owner in regard to his condition. This boy gets on with all the dogs he currently lives with, sheps, JRT, Staffie X, 3 cats, 2 ponies and a horse. He is such a happy dog  at all times and a pleasure to have in your home. He does sometimes have a bit of a sensitive tummy but has been doing really well on Royal Canin. Whoever gets this boy will indeed be very lucky! The lovely Loki has his forever home! The gorgeous Loki had a wonderful home and family but had now passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Well…..Where shall I start with our Martha. She is still a baby at around 12 month old, she came to us via the pound with some issues which I will tell you about. She is chipped, no season seen as yet and fully vaccinated. Soon after arriving we noticed Martha had some coordination problems whilst walking and how she interacted with people. We took her to see our vet and told her what we had seen and our thoughts. We came to a fitting conclusion that Martha seemed to have some issues which could be brain / central nervous system related that she may have had from birth or through an accident or injury. We think all her behaviour issues stem from this but hope with time they can be improved. We took Martha as she had shown some aggression issues with new people which we have also encountered since she has been with us, she has improved massively since being with us but these traits are still and may always be there. We are looking for a very special home for this pup with vast GSD experience to help her progress further in a home and this will be...

Akeela was abandoned in kennels after his owner brought him with him from Spain. He is 8 years old and arrived with March 2017. He is microchipped, vaccinated and neutered. Obviously his history is unknown so we would not rehome with children. Has been fine with volunteers walking him and the staff have never had any problems with him in the kennels, however he can come across grumpy as he does a lot of growling under his breath which the kennel staff say is like him talking. In the home, he does like his own space, and whilst he has not had masses of doggie interaction, he is fine when out walking with them, small or large, but does not want to live with another dog, as established with a short spell in foster. Met the cat at the kennels and was fine, until it ran away and then he did want to chase it, but this may be something that can be worked on. Akeela has basically missed out on the special relationship between man and dog, so is rather independent in his ways. We believe Akeela was a good few years older than we were first told when...

Monty is 6 years old. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We do not have masses of history on this lad, but the kennels were asked to take him in urgently when his dad had a massive heart attack, as he had been a regular boarder. Monty is great with people and good with other dogs. Unknown with cats. The kennels describe him as a loveable lad, who has never been any problem. This lad just needs a new home please having lost his dad and should fit into most homes with ease. Can you help Monty? Monty has been adopted. Monty was only 7 but had problems with his spine and in the end the kindest thing was to let him cross over Rainbow Bridge.

This lovely gent came to us from another rescue who had taken him and another dog in as an emergency due to owner’s ill health. Pugsley is 9 years old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Pugsley loves people and great with other dogs. We are told he is fine with children and cats as well! Loving retirement pad needed for this special gent please. Pugsley is staying with his foster home. Pugsley had a wonderful retirement but sadly has gone over Rainbow Bridge having had a stroke at the age of 12.

This handsome lad is 6 year Jack who is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We took Jack in from the pound as he had been picked up by the dog warden. We obviously do not have any history on this lad so would not rehome him with children. Jack seems fine with other dogs and in fact tends to keep himself to himself. Unknown with cats. We know Jack does not like the vets and has to be muzzled but otherwise he is quite a gentleman with people when out and about. He can be a bit of a grump sometimes and when he has a grump it is best to leave him be. he especially likes his own sleeping space and does not like being touched when he is laid down. We wonder if someone has had a go at him when he was asleep at some point. Poor Jack had been adopted but his dad is not very well and unable to exercise him but this is what he says about him: Jack has been badly frightened in the past and takes time to trust you. Initially he went to his bed and hardly left it. It took a...

May I introduce Summer who is 11 years old, spayed and microchipped and vaccinations have been restarted. We were asked to take Summer in after she had been handed into another rescue. This is what foster mum has to say about her:  “When Summer first arrived in foster she was a ball of very nervous fluff, she would hide away upstairs and not want to come down.  Her coat was in poor condition and she was underweight.  During her time in foster so far Summer has realised that the world isn’t such a scary place.  However, she only goes out on walks 2/3 times per week at present to fairly quiet locations to build up her confidence.  Meantime, she is content to act like a puppy and play endlessly in the garden.  She also has been occupying her time learning new commands.  So far she has learnt: Sit, Down, Tummy, Paw, Other paw, Take it, Leave, Fetch and Wait. She will wait on queue before eating her breakfast or dinner.  She will sit patiently (but wriggling in excitement) for her harness and lead to be put on.  She will not however wait to jump into the car as she thinks...

With the help of another rescue Ice and Sky were rescued from an owner advertising them for sale on one of the many internet sites. Both girls are 5.5 years and have been used for breeding as far as we are aware and are still entire. They were living in dispicable conditions at a yard when not producing pups and came in very thin and terrified. They immediately hit the floor when a person approached. These girls have not been living together as far as we know but have been fine travelling in the same vehicle (seperated) and are now regularly walked together. Their confidence is growing day by day. We have started their vaccinations and had them both microchipped and after a lovely bath they have come up a treat! Ice and Sky have shown no aggression to people or other dogs and both need a calm home where their confidence can blossom and they can enjoy being dogs. A no to children purely because of their nerves. Visiting children would be ok in time. Skye is now in foster – updates to follow. Can you help one of them please? Sky is staying with her foster family! Sky...

The lovely Max is 5 years old. He is microchipped and now vaccinated and neutered. Max was living with 2 females sheps but had to be rehomed as his owner is moving in with her parents to help care for them as her father has dementia. Unfortunately Max is not keen on men, or at least on her dad, which may just be due to his health as our volunteer (male) found him to be very friendly as has everyone else since. Max does pull on the lead (work in progress) but had not been getting much exercise but he has recall and basic commands. He is actually very strong and wants to grab the lead as well so needs someone with experience, time and patience. Due to his lack of socialisation outside of the home, this is something that needs to be worked with, but he is responsive to training and an experienced owner should help him through it well. He is currently in foster and mixing well with strong minded bitches. He is basically a bit of a bully boy. He did use to live with 4 cats but suspect he would bully ones he does not know....

This gorgeous lad is 4 year neutered Chudley. Chudley lived with Tess who has now found a new home. Their dad is very ill and no longer able to care for them. Chudley is described as the laid back dopey one of the pair but was quite excitable when he first arrived at the kennels as he had not been getting his normal exercise. We are told he is fine with children and other dogs and from the way she greeted our assessor we have no reason to believe he would not be good with children.When in kennels we have found Chudley was quite dominant with other dogs. Chudley should fit into most situations but will need someone who can refresh his training and build up his exercise regime again. Now in foster this is what his foster mum has to say about him: “While in foster with us Chudley has shown us his cheeky fun loving personality.  He simply loves having a fuss from people and if you groom him then he is a friend for life.  Recently my two god daughters visited (aged 2yrs and 8 yrs).  Chudley was the perfect gentleman and loved playing boomer ball football with...

What can I say about this gorgeous young man! Bert is just 18 months old. Now neutered especially as he had an undescended testicle. He is vaccinated and microchipped. Bert has been with his owners since a pup. He is good with children and we are told with other dogs, not that he has had a lot of exercise or socialisation recently. He will need work on the lead but we are told he has recall and basic commands. Bert is being rehomed because his dad is having to work away and his mum works full time. Mum also does not seem to like handling him. Bert was being left in a crate all day without water, having to mess where he stood. When let out, it was just in a very small outside space and then straight back to his cage. Bert is in kennels now and just needs a GSD home that can give him the training, socialisation and care he so deserves. A super friendly lad, he is excitable and boisterous, but wouldn’t you be? Bert is now settled in his new home. This gorgeous lad, renamed Satan, sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge due to blood poisoning....

Meet Rocco, he is 3.5yrs old, still entire, chipped but not vaccinated. The owner tells us that he is ok with older children, can be boisterous with other dogs, unknown with cats and livestock. Rocco doesn’t currently live in the family home but in a kennel at the end of the garden where he gets little interaction with anyone so is quite frustrated.There are 2 other GSDs also in separate kennels there too. There were other dogs at the property who lived in the home. He is strong on the lead as very rarely goes out, recall unknown but does know basic commands. He is registered with a vet but has never attended with current owner. He came to this home around a year ago from Essex after being used for security purposes. When our assessor met him he showed little interest in her was more interested in sniffing around the garden. His coat is in need of a good groom due to his outside environment. If you think you could offer this lad his second chance then please do get in touch. Sadly Rocco was adopted by a lovely couple but after only 24hrs in his new home he...

Digby is a young boy and full of energy, he will need an active home as he does like to be on the go a lot. Digby does react to dogs when out walking, we are working on this and he is getting better. He’s quite a strong lad and he needs more lead work but he does listen and settles down quick quickly. He is a definite no to cats and as he’s quite big and bouncy he wouldn’t be suitable to be around young children plus he can nibble when he gets excited. He’s met all the volunteers and been great with them all. Digby loves toys and will happily carry a teddy while he’s walking, toys can be taken off him without any issues and he’s very good with treats and food. I think this young lad would do well going round an agility course. If you think you are up to the Digby challenge give us a shout! Sadly after giving this lad a chance as a working dog he had to be returned due to medical issues, sadly after advice from our vets we had to let him go. At peace now gorgeous boy. x

This lovely girl is Zara who is coming up to 11 years old. Poor Zara and her dad were in a house fire week. Her dad was taken to hospital but did not survive. Zara came to us in quite a state, still smelling of smoke. She has not been spayed, vaccinated or microchipped but has had the once over and a clean bill of health from our vet. She took quite a few days before she would even pick at her food. A friend of the kennel owners got in touch saying their father had recently lost his dog and was desperate for company. They visited the same day when Zara was suggested to him, and it really was love at first sight. Sadly he was also taken unwell so after a few weeks poor Zara had to come back to the kennels. She is now microchipped and had her first vaccination. She is quite a madam and is obviously used to being the only dog and being spoilt, and certainly does not act her age. If we had not been told she was 11 we would have said she was only about 6! Can someone please give this...

Romeo, Romeo…….looking for his very own Juliet! This older boy is sadly looking for a new pad at the ripe old age of 10 after being in the same home from a puppy. He is sadly still entire, his vacs are out of date and he is chipped but still registered to his old address! He hasn’t been walked in while as his mum can’t handle him and his dad has left and doesn’t want him – nice! He apparently barks and lunges at other dogs and can be protective when out on his lead. His owner says he would be fine with teenagers but we will assess each home and go from there. A no to cats. He has seen some domestic violence and has reacted on a couple of occasions but our vollie found him to be a friendly lad who took treats gently, had his tummy rubbed and gave kisses. He is a little unsteady on his hind legs due to muscle wastage which may well improve with exercise. If you are the person who could offer this old gent his retirement pad then give us a shout! UPDATE – Since being here with us he has...

May I introduce Senna who is 8 years young. She is spayed and microchipped but vaccinations are out of date. Senna is good with children of all ages but can be selective about dogs and is a no to cats. Does pull on the lead as is more used to running off lead when she is taken out. Has recall and basic commands and no issues over food or toys. Senna is being rehomed as she is currently being left for long hours and therefore not getting the exercise or attention she deserves so her owner feels it is only fair on her. She can be quite excitable with new people but as she is not getting out as much as she should at present, this should calm down. Senna will slot in nicely to most homes. Are you that home? Senna has been adopted. Gorgeous Senna was only with her new family a short time and they are devastated as she was rushed to the vets where they believe a tumour had ruptured. Senna is now over Rainbow Bridge.

This lovely lady is 7 year Sasha. Sasha came into emergency foster a couple of weeks ago at the request of Social Services. She has just finished her season and we are in the process of getting her vaccinated and microchipped. Sasha has settled in with her foster family including dogs large and small. This is what her foster dad has to say about her: “Sasha is a beautiful gentle 7 year old, she can be slightly dominant of other females but that might be because she was in season when we picked her up.  She can tend to be a bit careless with her feet when round other dogs as I do not think she has had to share any space with others before. She can sometimes cower in fear when hearing a man shout, doesn’t seem to bother if a female shouts.  She enjoys the raw diet and eats quite daintily and likes raw bones. We were told she never walked on a lead and didn’t like collars, but didn’t seem to mind either and was very good on her first group walk on Sunday although we did not let her off. Sasha would make a brilliant pet...
