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 Vaccinations are out of date.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...

Polar Bear is 9 years old and arrived with us August 2016. Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Polar Bear came into us from the pound after he had been found as a stray in Kettering. We were told he could show aggression, but apart from not wanting to get on the scales when he arrived at the kennels, he has just shown he is confident in himself and will not be pushed about. It took him time but he does love the kennel staff now though! Polar Bear can be very aloof until he trusts you. He does not like people in his face and does not want to be petted until he decides he is ready. We would not rehome with young children for obvious reasons. Happily walks with other dogs but would need to be the only dog in the home. A no to cats. Polar Bear does have the onset of CDRM so would love a retirement home who has experience of this to see out his days. It will need to be a very special home that will give him time and space to bond in his own way, a quiet home with little through traffic, and...

Zeus is 4yo black and tan long coat. Zeus is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. This gorgeous big boy has a lovely temperament and in his previous home lived dogs and saw visiting children. He really is a big cuddly boy who needs a forever home to call his own. This lad now has a super home of his own. Zeus had a wonderful life but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge due to his heart.

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.

The beautiful Ice had many happy years with her...

This lovely old man is 10 year Luka who is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Luka is a super lad and has got on with everyone he has met and been fine with dogs large and small. Would probably prefer not to live with young children at his stage of life and unknown with cats. Luka was taken into the Blue Cross after his elderly lady owner was struggling to care for him after the loss of her husband. This regal gentleman is just looking for a retirement pad please! Luka has found his retirement pad! Luka has gone to Rainbow Bridge having had the most wonderful few years with his family.

This handsome lad is Duke who is 8 years old, neutered, microchipped and now vaccinated. We were contacted by the RSPCA to help this lad as his older owners could not care for him and the RSPCA had no space. By the time our volunteers visited, his dad was in hospital and his mum struggled to get around. Duke was basically kept in a cage all the time and had not been walked for 18 months. Our volunteers had been warned he could be protective in his home so having talked to his lady owner, asked to see him in the cage so they could get him to calm down. Unfortunately his lady owner toodled off saying she would look for his muzzle and just let him out! The outcome was not pretty but neither volunteer blamed Duke who was just so confused at them being in his home and so excited at being out. Since being in the kennels he has been no problem at all with people and is actually quite a sweetie. We would not rehome him with children. He has not reacted to the other dogs but probably best as the only dog or with a...

Archie is 3 and is neutered. This poor young lad has now been in foster for quite a while. This is what foster mum has written. Archie was a very nervous little boy which came out in aggression when I first picked him up he did want to nip me but as soon as we got him home we put him in his pen and left him to settle the night. In the morning I took him some sausages (to bribe him) it took a little time to come to me but he did and I put his lead on for his walk and from that moment he was my best friend. We don’t think he’d been walked too much as he is not too keen on getting his feet wet and dirty and doesn’t like stones in his pen. Once he settled after a couple of weeks he came indoors with a gate between him and our dogs which  he was nervous of but settled and later after several weeks we let him in with ours and they have taught him to play. He has since been introduced to other foster dogs who he has become good friends with. Once he...

Pluto is 7 years young and along with his sister Venus is in urgent need of a new home as his owners emigrated at the end of the June and he is staying with friends temporarily.  Both dogs are good with children and other dogs. Unknown with cats. They are friendly, relaxed dogs who gently seek attention with nose shoving and the offer of a paw. Pluto and Venus are both strong on the lead as rarely walked and whilst they both have basic commands, they can be selective on recall if distracted. These happy, laid back dogs and let our volunteer handle them and check them all over. Typically Venus is the more dominant of the pair. Their owner has said that the last time the dogs went into kennels  they did not handle it well and came back very stressed, taking them months to recover so this is not a viable option. Can you please help urgently? Pluto and Venus now in a wonderful new home together! Pluto has gone to join Venus over Rainbow Bridge at a grand age of 13.

GSRE are taking on the task of finding Tara a home. She is 8 years old, we believe spayed, and is being vaccinated. Has ignored other cats and dogs. “This is Tara… a couple of weeks ago Last Chance Hotel had a call from Wales, which turned into a nightmare. But with the aid of some fabulous people in rescue, and the Welsh police, Tara and her owner were taken away to be cared for. Tara was signed over by her distraught owner who could no longer care for her. Tara has lived a life of extreme highs and lows with her ex owner, but has now been living in emergency boarding kennels in Wales being fed regularly and walked. She has shown no interest in dogs or cats and is enjoying stability and attention. Emergency boarding is just That, for emergencies so we are now looking for a sofa for this girl. She is 8 to 10 years old (we think) she is neutered. It is now time for her to live a life of good stuff now 🙂 childfree please.” Tara is now in foster. She is not a full shepherd and is quite  small little lady. Does...

Meet the lovely Wolfie. This poor lad came to us as a stray from the pound. He has been chewing one of his paws out of stress of being in kennels but has settled in well with us. He will be neutered, fully vaccinated and chipped before going to his new home. This lad has enjoyed his time out on the group walks, been fine with the other dogs, seen the cats at the kennels and shown no interest, not seen as yet with children. Can anyone offer this boy a foster or indeed a forever home? Wolfie is staying with his foster home. Sadly Wolfie has passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Joop and Lynx’s mum has passed and they needed to find a new home before their house was sold. Both dogs are 6 years of age, entire, microchipped but not vaccinated.Currently in foster. They are fine with children and other dogs, unknown with cats. Both extremely friendly dogs however Lynx is a little more nervous of new people. Joop and Lynx have never been on a lead and whilst Joop accepted one when assessed, Lynx went into panic mode. Both dogs do have recall and basic commands. They have been living in kennels outside so unfortunately are not fully house trained but older older dogs usually pick this up very quickly. Both these lads could make super additions but will need experienced homes that have the time and patience to teach them all they have missed out on in terms of lead training and living in a home. Can you help one of them please? Joop and Lynx are staying together at their foster home. Beautiful Joop renamed Duke has joined Lynx over Rainbow Bridge.

Rex is 9 years old and currently entire. His vaccinations are out of date but he is microchipped. Rex’s owner has died so unfortunately not much is known about him with children, other dogs or cats, but he has been in the same home since a pup. He has been fine out walking with the other sheps at the kennels. When our volunteer went to assess him, he barked but was very friendly.  Rex can be strong on the lead but has recall and basic commands we are told. No issues over toys or food. Not keen on vets so is muzzled for visits. Our volunteer described Rex as being in good condition and very friendly. He loves to play with his Kong toy and appears a calm dog. This lad is urgent as he can only stay in his home a couple more weeks before it changes hands! Rex is now in the kennels and his vaccinations have been started and he is also now neutered. Rex has set off to his new home. Rex has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge due to CDRM.

What about this stunning girl? Bella is 6 years young and originally came with her owner from Poland.  Her original owner had to rehome her due to rental conditions.Spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Bella is great around people and older children. We were told she was reactive while out on her lead  with other dogs but we haven’t found this, only if they get in her face, she gets worried and  then she will tell them! She does need further socialising which she is getting now. Bella  needs an experienced home where she can get the dog socialisation she needs but will be a super girl to have around in the home. Can you help? Beautiful Bella found her forever home and spent the last years of her life happy with her family but has sadly now passed over Rainbow Bridge.

This gorgeous girl is our Wiggy. Found herself in rescue as a real little baby after being abandoned by her breeder into the pound! She came into foster with GSRE in 2016 and was adopted a few months later by Izzy and Dave where she enjoyed the life she should have had from day one. Wiggy was adored by her mum and dad and also her big sis Roxy and I know she will be very much missed by them all. Sleep tight gorgeous girl, taken far too early. xx

We were contacted by a dog warden asking if we could take in this lovely lady. Genie is 13 years old and had been taken in as a stray. The owner was contacted who said they were trying to get rid of her anyway so did not want her back! Genie has been vet checked and apart from being a little stiff on her back end (who wouldn’t be at her age), is a spritely soul. Obviously not a full GSD and quite petite. Currently in foster with other dogs and cats. Everyone who has met her so far say she is a very polite little angel. All Genie needs please is a retirement home and she would fit in with most situations, but would probably appreciate a quite life now. Genie is staying with her foster mum. This beautiful old lady lived out her final days with her foster family and is now over Rainbow Bridge.

Feast your eyes on this gorgeous lump, meet Fun time Fat Frank!! Yes, this lad is a tad overweight but we are working on this, he is 7yrs this year, neutered, chipped and fully vacs. Frankie came to us via the pound so little history on him but since arriving at the kennels he has been the perfect guest. He likes everyone he has met, is great around the other dogs, yet to be cat tested. We would be happy for him to live with older children. This boy always seems to be smiling and if I were looking I would snap him up!! Can you offer this boy his second chance? This handsome lad had a wonderful last year in foster but has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge due to a massive internal bleed.

Feast your eyes on this gorgeous boy, his name is Nero and he came to us via the pound after being removed from a very nasty place! We believe him to be around 8yrs, has shown interest in dogs out on a walk but as of yet hasn’t had any close encounters, unknown with cats and will be fine around teenagers we feel as he has so much more confidence in and around people thanks to our fab vollies. He has really started to come out of his shell in the last week or so and is really enjoying his walks and time out with his people. When we took him on we were told that he had nipped a member of the family whist he was tied up but we have seen no such behaviour since he has been with us. Such a lovely lad who stills trusts people after his awful life deserves a home to call his own for the last time! Nero is in his new home. “My sweet boy Mr Sniffles (aka Nero originally from Lincs Kennels) went to sleep last week. I am heartbroken beyond words, but I have nothing but loving memories of...

Say hello to Kaiser. He joined our rescue when he could no longer stay in his own home. He is 5yrs old, neutered, vaccinated and chipped. Kaiser can be somewhat of a nervous boy at times with little confidence so this is something his new owner will need to work with. He has lived with dogs in his previous home but unknown with children or cats. Enjoyed his walk with the other dogs and was fine meeting people when out. This lad is now in foster and boy what a change in him, he is now a lot braver with everything and is enjoying lots of off lead walking with his foster family, 2 and 4 legged! What a super boy Kaiser is, still waiting and looking for his forever home. A lovely lad just needing the right home to build his trust in people. Kaiser has gone off to his lovely new home with his cute pug sister! Kaiser had a wonderful life with his family but has sadly gone over Rainbow Bridge today.

This young lady is Eden, she has been rescued from a pound. We were told she is about 18 months old but she could be even younger. She was very friendly when our volunteers met her at the kennels and did not show any aggression towards their bitch when they took them for a walk. Eden is now in foster where she is settling in with another bitch. Will update on her progress. This lovely girl has now been adopted by her foster home. Eden was in fact a lot older than we were told and having had over 6 wonderful years with her mum has sadly now passed over Rainbow Bridge x

This lovely old lad is Wonkey. We were asked to take him in as he had been picked up as a stray and his 7 days were coming to an end and he was due to be put to sleep. Wonkey is about 9 years old. He is not neutered or vaccinated and it is something we would not put the lovely lad through as he does have CDRM. He is however still full of life and love and this is why we were asked to help, as the kennels could not bear the thought of him not having that chance to enjoy what time he has left. Currently in foster he has been fine with all other dogs he has met, which are a lot where he is. Would probably appreciate a quiet home without young children. Unknown with cats. If you have a place in your heart to take on this lovely lad and give him the retirement home he so deserves please, he will repay you in bundles of love. Experience with CDRM a benefit. He is not in any pain but will lose mobility more and more, but so deserves a home of his own until...

May I introduce Cleo who is a 2 year unspayed bitch. She is not vaccinated or microchipped. This lovely lass is good with children and other dogs. Unknown with cats however does seem to just bark at them rather than showing aggression. Cleo is not used to being left so will need a home where she can have separation built up or somewhere she will have company the majority of the time. She can pull on the lead so will need some work with this but recalls to a whistle and has basic commands. Our assessor described Cleo as one of the most placid GSD’s he has ever seen and she will fit into most family homes. Sadly being rehomed due to an illness in the family. Can you give this girl a new home please? This gorgeous girl is now in her forever home! Cleo was one of the charity’s greatest ambassadors. She qualified as a PAT dog and would regularly attend fundraising events such as Crufts and Discover Dogs, showing people how gentle the breed could be. Sadly, and way too soon, Cleo has passed over Rainbow Bridge after suffering a short but cruel neurological condition. Was so...

This lovely lass is Jemima. She is about 2 years old and was picked up as a stray.  She is microchipped and vaccinated and now spayed. As we have no history on Jemima we will not rehomed with young children. She has been fine with other dogs, if anything over keen to meet so will need some doggy manners.Has been in foster over the Christmas holidays and would live a male happily but not a bitch. Jemima is a little live wire and will need an experienced home that can give her the training and boundaries she needs. Definitely deserves a chance of a good home please. Jemima now known as Zhara is staying with her foster mum and dad! The beautiful Zhara has been taken over Rainbow Bridge far too soon have having been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. She will be very sorely missed by her family.  

Poor Sally was taken to the vets to be put to sleep after her mum and dad died within a short space of each other and the family couldn’t be bothered with her. This poor lass is 8 years and has had her world ripped away from her. Sally came in very matted so has had to be shaved around her back end (but not complaining in this weather). She is a real lady, dainty and polite and stays constantly close. We suspect she was a bit of a daddy’s girl. Sally loves cuddles and would be so pleased to have a retirement home of her own again where she be a true companion. This lovely girl is staying with her foster family. Little orphan Sally had four and half wonderful years with her family but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge “We had to sadly kiss her goodbye on Christmas Day but she was much loved and will be sadly missed.”

This gorgeous lad is 8 year Zeus who is now neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Zeus came into the rescue along with 5 other dogs and 3 pups having been voluntarily surrendered to the council by a breeder who was described as a puppy farmer. The dogs had been found living in sheds and were being neglected in the sense that the owners did not even go up there once a day on many an occasion. Zeus has been used for breeding so is happy around girls as you can imagine. All dogs have super temperaments and just need some lead training and boundaries put in place. This is what foster mum has to say about him: “Zeus has only been in foster 4 days, living with 3 dogs and 7 cats, gets on with them all but sadly has shown too much interest in the guinea pigs, so any small furry babes in the home will need to be well and truly secure. He is a dream to walk, does not pull on the lead, fine with dogs we have met, not yet tested off lead yet but still early days but I am sure this will not be an...

Believe it or not, Heidi is 8 years old. She is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. She came to us from another rescue where she was struggling in their busy kennel environment. Heidi had been in the same home since a puppy but her owners were  having to downsize to a flat with no garden. She is used to older children and still very playful with toys. She can be a little over excited meeting new people but soon calms down.  Heidi loves a pamper! Heidi is not used to off lead and on lead she can be excitable around small dogs tending to scare their owners.  She is under socialised and can be choosy about which dogs she mixes with. A no to cats as she used to chase in the garden. Not keen on loud noises such as the hoover, and hates the rain! A responsive and intelligent girl who loves a fuss and would prefer not to be left alone too long during a day. Heidi had finally found a home of her own! Sadly Heidi has crossed over Rainbow Bridge due to kidney failure.

Please meet Roxy who is about 5 years old. Unknown if spayed but now fully vaccinated. We do not have a lot of history on this lovely girl as she was taken in as an emergency by one of our foster homes but we believe she spent most of her time in a yard. Roxy is currently in foster with 2 other sheps and our foster home has seen no issues so far. Older children only, purely as we do not have her full history. Unknown with cats. This lovely lady just needs a home of her own again please. Roxy has been adopted by her foster home. Roxy had a wonderful home but has now sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Cast your eyes over this lovely older boy, his name is Samson and we think he is about 9 / 10yrs old. He came to us entire and still is due to his age and weak condition, he is fully vaccinated and chipped. He has been great with all people he has met if a little wary and quite at first. He does get stressed when around other dogs but having now been out walking next to other dogs he has improved but would still probably be better as an only dog as he has been the rest of his life as a yard dog. We would not rehome with children but sensible teenagers would be ok, no to cats. Kennels is no place for older dogs, could you offer this gent a fireside seat of his own? The lovely Samson has been adopted by his foster home!

Max is now 12 years old and arrived with us August 2016. He came into us from a pound where his time was up. He is entire and due to his age was left entire, but now fully vaccinated and microchipped. Max loves to play, but another dog who can be over protective of his people and we suspect there may have been some security training in his past. He detests other dogs whatever sex or size so will need a dog free home. Max is strong on the lead but has basic commands and takes treats very gently! A super companion and a loyal friend despite being wobbly on his back end now. The lovely Max has passed over Rainbow Bridge at the grand old age of nearly 13 years old having had a stroke.

What about this stunner of a lad? Cashe is 6 years and has just been neutered. He came to us from another rescue where he had been handed in as his owners could not cope with him. This gorgeous lad has only lived with adults so we would only rehome him with older children, plus he is very boisterous so would send small children flying! Cashe used to live with another female GSD but we are told he is reactive to other dogs when out. His previous owners however avoided taking him out when other dogs were around so it may well be he just needs some socialisation.  Also he was not been walked much as he was too strong for his owner. Cashe is a loving lad but strong and boisterous and just needs an experienced GSD home to put him on the straight and narrow as he has obviously been ruling the roost in his previous home. Cashe was adopted by his foster dad. The gorgeous Cashe has gone over Rainbow Bridge.

Make way for very stunning young man Troy!! Troy has recently been neutered and is a lovely friendly 4 year lad in need of a new home as his owner is moving into a flat. Troy has good basic lead training. We were told that Troy is not keen on other male dogs but we believe this may be due to a lack of socialisation. Currently in kennels, Troy would love a home of his own. Troy had a wonderful life but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Another lovely baby boy looking for a new home, only 2 years, neutered, fully vaccinated and chipped. We are told he seems fine with children of most ages, no reaction to other dogs, not keen on all cats he has met. This lovely dog having been previously adopted from a rescue kennels was put on Scumtree as FTGH and luckily for this boy a lovely lady took him in and has now asked us for help to find him a new home. Our assessor found Simba to be a friendly lad with a great temperament, please help us to find this lad the home he deserves! Simba has been in foster for assessment and was fine with the foster family’s male shep and child. He was found to be reactive to dogs on the lead so will need some continued socialisation. Now in foster he would love a home of his own please. Simba is now starting his new life! This poor lad at only 5 years old has passed over Rainbow Bridge due to severe epilepsy.  

Toothie, renamed Toffee, is an 11 year entire male. At his age we would not worry about neutering him. His vaccinations are out of date. We were asked to take Toffee in as his female owner was not well. Toffee is a lovely old gentleman but used to being the only dog. However he has coped very well living in foster with others but despite his age he will stand up for himself if needed! Unknown with children so at his age we would say best not. Cats unknown. Toffee can be protective of his mum and this probably goes back to living with a lady he felt needed looking after so does need to be introduced carefully to male visitors. Can you give this old lad a retirement home of his own please to live out his twilight years? Toffee has officially been adopted by his foster mum. The lovely Toffee had a wonderful retirement but has now passed over Rainbow Bridge at a grand age of 14 years old.

Have a look at this little beauty, we call her Nora but her foster mum thinks Anna suits her better! We are not sure of her age but we would say around she is around 8yrs young with plenty of life in her. She is currently in foster with 2 children under 10 who have pet rabbits which Nora has met and has no interest in at all, she has walked out next to other dogs with no problem and we feel living with a confident cat would be fine. Walks lovely on the lead, likes her home comforts and a lie in!! Could you offer this gorgeous lady her forever home? Anna is now with her new family. The beautiful Anna has passed over Rainbow Bridge peacefully.

Have a look at this lovely lad, we call him George as he had no name when he arrived, we think he is about 5yrs, soon to be neutered, fully vaccinated and chipped. He is a lovely lad around people, fine to be walked along side other dogs at the kennels but not keen on dogs in his face, not keen on cats, should be fine around older children. George’s tail seems to have been broken at sometime and looks likely never treated, our vet has looked at him and is not concerned about it at all. Lovely lad wanting his second chance, could this be you? George has now been adopted. Sadly George has passed away , run free gorgeous boy. x

Cast your eyes over this gorgeous lad, he is approx. 7yrs old, Neutered, fully vaccinated and chipped. This lovely dog lived on an estate and was used a stud dog all his life until his very rich owner decided he had had enough and left William and many other dogs behind when he left the country. Since being with us in kennels he has been a little quite and off his food but getting better all the time, he enjoys a good ball game and a run around in the garden, but he would love a garden of his own!! He is unknown with children, a no to cats and would rather be the only dog in the home due to total lack of socialising in his past life. Can you offer this beauty his second chance? This gorgeous boy is now in foster with another German Shepherd and they are getting on great. Sadly Billy has passed over Rainbow Bridge.

This lovely lady is Angel who is about 8 years old. She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Unfortunately Angel’s owner has been left in a difficult situation after a messy divorce and is having to move into a flat very soon. Angel has not been getting enough exercise either as mum has been working long hours and is quite overweight at present. Angel is not used to young children, so older children only. She has not had much interaction with other dogs and whilst she does react when seeing them on the lead, we cannot say she is outright aggressive as she does need to learn some socialisation skills. A no to cats. She is strong on the lead and has no recall but does have basic commands. Typical shep girl as in she greets you vocally but once you are in and made friends she is a love. Angel had got herself a home but after a few weeks needed to be returned because a family member developed asthma and their financial situation suddenly changed. Please let us find this lovely girl a home of her own. Angel is staying with her foster dad. Angel has passed over Rainbow...

Joop and Lynx’s mum has passed and they needed to find a new home before their house was sold. Both dogs are 6 years of age, entire, microchipped but not vaccinated. Currently in foster. They are fine with children and other dogs, unknown with cats. Both extremely friendly dogs however Lynx is a little more nervous of new people. Joop and Lynx have never been on a lead and whilst Joop accepted one when assessed, Lynx went into panic mode. Both dogs do have recall and basic commands. They have been living in kennels outside so unfortunately are not fully house trained but older older dogs usually pick this up very quickly. Both these lads could make super additions but will need experienced homes that have the time and patience to teach them all they have missed out on in terms of lead training and living in a home. Can you help one of them please? Lynx and Joop are staying together at their foster home. Lynx has sadly passed over Rainbow Bridge.

Well what can I say about this lovely lady! Inca came to us from the pound. In extremely good condition. Unknown if spayed but is microchipped and now vaccinated. We thought this lass was about 3 but according to her microchip she is actually 8! Inca has been a super friendly and amenable dog since arriving and has not batted an eyelid at the antics of the other dogs around her however can be quite dominant with them in close range, this has become more apparent after a recent meet with a family and their dog, Inca would very much prefer to be the only dog in the home. Would not rehome with young children as we do not know her history, but this girl will make a super addition to most homes! What are you waiting for?! Inca has finally found her forever home. Gorgeous Inca has passed over Rainbow Bridge having had a wonderful few years with her family.

May I introduce the rather handsome Elwood who is 4 years old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. This is what the volunteer who assessed him had to say: “Elwood is large (44kg), flat backed and soft coated – in good condition.  Delightful nature, very friendly and a great companion and house dog.  Barks when anyone at the door or outside the house but quietens when told to stop and greets people in a very friendly manner.  Does get a bit excited to start with but settles. Was frightened by a small child, who shrieked at him, when he was quite young and now tends to bark at them.  Lives with five cats and a small Chihuahua crossbreed.  Would chase a cat when out of the home but happy in the home.  Limited exposure to livestock and has always been on a lead – interested in them though. He is not good at the vet and has to be muzzled. He won’t sleep on a dog bed and prefers to be by the front door, after a brief cuddle on the bed!  Likes to keep cool – thick coat. Being rehomed because of relationship breakdown. He is being walked on a Halti...
