Improve your own health while saving a dog's life.
Recent reports have highlighted plans for an NHS-backed walking initiative that aims to encourage millions of people to become more active through regular daily walking.
The proposed scheme, known as "Movement 26.2", is expected to reward people for achieving walking goals, helping tackle the growing problem of inactivity across the UK. Health experts estimate that physical inactivity costs the NHS around £1 billion every year and contributes to a wide range of preventable health conditions.
While walking for your own health is a fantastic goal, there is one simple way to make those daily steps even more rewarding: share them with a rescue dog.
At German Shepherd Rescue, we see first-hand the incredible difference that a daily walk makes not only to people, but also to the dogs waiting for a second chance. If you're looking for motivation to get outdoors, improve your fitness, and transform a life at the same time, adopting a rescue dog could be one of the most rewarding decisions you'll ever make.

CAUCASIAN OVCHARKA (SHEPHERDS)
Although we are a German Shepherd Rescue, there does not seem to be an official Caucasian Shepherd Rescue here in the UK, so since 2013, we have been helping these dogs find homes and have built up a good knowledge of this breed.
Most of these dogs are finding their way into the UK through unscrupulous breeders in eastern Europe or coming in via questionable rescuers with no rescue back up here in the UK. Most that we have helped so far, have been picked up as strays here in the UK.
This is certainly not the breed for everyone and if you are considering owning a Caucasian Ovcharka, please make sure that you thoroughly research the breed first. They may be the cutest bundles of fluff imaginable as puppies but they are a giant breed and will grow into a very large immensely powerful dog. Caucasian Shepherds that we have for rehoming.
Volunteers are always welcome.
German Shepherd Rescue is run by volunteers who are involved because of their love for the breed. Most have jobs and families and fit in rescue work when they can and at their own cost. Please be patient, and we will deal with your requests as soon as we can. Our rescue dogs are worth waiting for!
