Adopt a German Shepherd Dog with German Shepherd Rescue

picture of a nice doggieGerman Shepherd Rescue is a organisation dedicated to the rescue, short term fostering and long-term re-homing of German Shepherd Dogs. Unwanted GSD's are found new homes through its placement scheme which carefully matches up rescued Shepherds with their potential new owners. Owners, new and old, are provided with any support and guidance they may need.

The rescue is run by a dedicated group of volunteers with a love of German Shepherds, giving their time and devotion to the welfare of this wonderful breed. We do not have our own kennels (yet) so any urgent dogs that come into our care are either fostered or have to be put into commercial boarding kennels until a new home is found. We cover the whole of the UK.

Dogs come to us for various reasons, not only are there the kind of cruelty cases we all hear about in the media, but there are also less obvious causes such as relationship breakdowns, changing work commitments, having to move to accommodation unsuitable for dogs, the owner passing away or family members developing an allergy to dogs. Sadly we often find dogs that are no longer wanted simply because they are old and infirm. It is a pity that so few of the many people who want puppies never consider such "golden oldies", but whatever the reason that leads to a dog coming to us, we try to establish a successful outcome for both the dog and its new owners. All dogs are assessed by an experienced volunteer before placing with a new owner.

Our hope is that through the use of our website we will be able to further raise awareness of the plight of unwanted GSDs, reaching a wider audience than we have previously been able to and explain a little of what we do and how we work. German Shepherd Rescue UK. has become increasingly more successful, re-homing around 200 - 300 dogs per year with very limited resources. Our goal is to have our own kennels where we can house urgent, sick and difficult dogs until new homes are found for them.

If you think you could offer one of our orphans a good home, please contact. If you cannot rehome a dog but would like to help, you could send a donation or assist with other fund raising activities.
