Dogs In Kennels Long Term2
German Shepherds in Rescue Far Too Long
All of these dogs have now been in rescue for as much as a year or more. Please can we appeal to people to come forward and either offer to foster or provide a permanent home for one of these lovely dogs and make sure that they don't have to spend any longer in kennels unwanted and unloved.
German Shepherds are highly intelligent and require more exercise than most other types of dogs. Spending months or even a year or more in kennels, is not much of a life for a GSD as they become bored and institutionalised. Is it right to cage a dog for a year or more, simply because society regards these wonderful creatures as commodities and dispose of them when they become surplus to requirement.
No dog should ever have to spend months in kennels unwanted or unloved
Not only is this so wrong that these dogs have to spend months or years in kennels, but it is a big financial drain on the rescues funds. Please help us fund their kennel fees and give a little extra so that we can buy the kennel dogs some treats and toys.
If you donate through Virgin Money Giving and you are a taxpayer, we get an extra 20% in Gift Aid rather than the charges levied by Paypal. Virgin accept all credit / debit cards
Below are just a few of our dogs that are in kennels, where some have been for a year or more.
PADGE
Padge recently came in with two other dogs Storm and Weather after their owner sadly passed away. They are all mature dogs and the family have done their best but have been unable to accommodate the dogs within the family. Read more about PADGE

Poor Weather is 9 years old and in kennels because her owner died. Read more about Weather
CODY - was going to be put to sleep!
Not much is know about this me as I was found and then put in another rescue where they said I was not good with cats and dogs. They said they couldn't rehome me so were going to put me to sleep but fortunately GSDR phoned on the day that was going to happen and they saved me. Read more about CODY
Casie in kennels since September 2013
My name is Casie, I am 5 years old and I came in with my friend Juno because my parents kept letting us escape and worry sheep. I started to squabble with Juno so we have decided that we should have separate homes. I love people but I don't like cats. You can read more about me on my page - Casie
Juno in kennels since September 2013
My name is Juno I am 5 years old and I used to live in a home with Casie and children over the age of 8 but I would prefer to be in an adult only home or one with teenagers. I don't like strangers because I like to guard my property and I hate cats. I would love my own family and protect them and their home. You can read more about me here - Juno
Molly - thrown out of a car!
My name is Molly and I was thrown out of a car by some nasty people after I gave birth to puppies by caesarian. I still had my stitches in when a kind man picked me up and took me to the kennels. They think I am about 4-5 years old and I am a little cautious of people because of what happened to me. Please can you give me a forever home - Molly
Basil - Basenji GSD cross
Well have we got a rare treat for you here. Meet Basil who is a Basenji / GSD cross. He is only around a year old, he is neutered, microchipped and has his own passport. Basil is an adorable, friendly, loving boy who likes all people. He is brilliant with young children too. Basil is great with other dogs and doesn't seem bothered by cats. BASIL
Duchess
The previous owner says that Duchess was being taken around by children who were selling her for £20. A friend took Duchess but couldn't keep her, which is how the current owner came by her. It is possible Duchess has been abused by children so we think an adult only home would be better for her. DUCHESS
Samsung - big cuddly teddy bear
This handsome chunky monkey is our big teddy bear Samsung who is a 6 year old neutered male who has his own passport. His rescuers nicknamed him Shampoo because he liked being bathed. We believe Samsung has been beaten or hit on the side of the head which has blinded him in one eye - SAMSUNG
Kaiser
Poor kaiser has had a bit of a rough time and has not been cared for properly. His owner was taken into hospital and cannot look after him anymore. Kaiser is a lovely boy and really deserves better - KAISER
Saxon
My name is Saxon and I am 6 years old and was living a terrible life outside in the garden with only an old toilet for shelter. The female staffie in the house loved to play with me in the garden but kept attacking me if I tried to come into the house. My owner couldn't afford to feed me properly so I am very thin. Please can you offer me a nice warm place to lie - Saxon
OSCAR
Hi, my name is Oscar and I'm only 1 year old but have ended up in kennels because my elderly owner couldn't cope with me once I started to grow! I wasn't taken on walks or socialised properly but I'm a very fast learner. If you play ball with me I will be your best friend. You can read more - Oscar
MAX
My name is Max and I am a handsome big boy who was very nearly put to sleep but then GSDR stepped in. I have a very strong personality but I will be your loyal faithful friend if you give me some guidance - Max
DANNY
My name is Danny and I had a terrible start in life out in Romania where I was beaten and starved. I love people and I would love a home to call my own as I am very stressed in kennels - Danny
How you can help
BY DONATING if you can't foster or adopt: As we do not have our own kennels, we have to use commercial kennels to keep our dogs safe until new homes are found. We do try and put as many dogs in foster as possible but our foster homes are usually full up. The kennel fees are our single biggest expense and are a huge financial drain on our precious funds. The more funds we have, the more dogs we can save.
Better still, if you can foster or adopt one of our kennel dogs, please fill out an adoption form
