Southern Counties German Shepherd Rescue
Although this page is updated regularly, we always have a number of people going through the rehoming process and so sometimes, where suitable homes are already available, dogs are rehomed without appearing on the website. We work very hard to match the right dogs with the right homes, so the first step is to find out more about the home being offered. To do this we ask you to complete a preliminary application form. You can download it here. We will then call you and talk through our adoption procedures and arrange a home check. Once this has been done we can rehome dogs very quickly when a suitable match is found. If you are able to offer a dog a home please contact us by email or phone (01425 473907) and we will go through the process and find you a new friend.

;) ;) | Tara Tara is about 6 years old. She is quite a vocal dog who has previously lived with cats. Tara is a loving dog who loves travelling in the car and who loves to play in water. She has been through the rescue system twice before, originally being rehomed with an older lady who was unable to walk her, who decided to contact us last year. We took Tara into our rescue and she was rehomed in November 2010. Her new owner adores her, but sadly, neighbours have complained about her barking when left and he has been told that he is no longer allowed to keep her on company premises due to the risk of bad publicity. This is a tragic turn of events for both Tara and her Dad as they are both very happy. She really has been through enough – are you able to offer Tara a forever home – she would like a home as the only dog where she is with someone for most of the time and where she can play ball – her favourite pastime. If you can give Tara a home please email us at: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Logan Logan is a German Shepherd Cross who came from the pound as his time was up and he was due to be euthanased. We did not want that to happen and thought he deserved a chance. We know nothing about his past life but he has only just come into the rescue and he needs time to settle. Logan will be fully assessed before he is rehomed. If you can give Logan a home please email us at: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Simon Simon is a 6 year old, black and tan German Shepherd rescue dog, who has not had much opportunity to mix with people or other dogs. He is a typical German Shepherd who is suspicious of strangers, but who is friendly and loving once he gets to know you. He is looking for a new home as his elderly owner is no longer able to cope with him, particularly due to his lack of sociability. Simon will be given time to settle and will be fully assessed before rehoming. If you can give Simon a home please email: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Nilo Nilo is a gorgeous, sable, German Shepherd Rescue dog who came over from Greece in June 2011, where he had lived in a dog shelter spending a lot of time chained to a tree. He was found tied to the gates over night and remained there until he came to England. We think he is about 2 years old. Nilo is neutered and comes with a full pet passport. He is a very friendly dog, but he is very sensitive and needs a lot of time and space to adjust to life in a home. He is more trusting of women than men and bonds quickly, but needs the reassurance of an ally to help him meet new things. Nilo is a lovely dog but he needs someone who understands the huge adjustment which he needs to make to integrate into family life and who is prepared to take things very slowly. Are you able to offer Nilo that chance? Watch a video of Nilo>> If you can give Nilo a home please email: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Dusty Dusty is a very scared German Shepherd rescue bitch who was found as a stray and taken to the pound where ‘her time was up’ and she would have been destroyed. We took her into a foster home where her foster carer was able to gradually win her trust so that she could be handled. Dusty was very thin and had some baldness on her legs. She needed time to settle and learn to trust before facing vet assessment and treatment. Once that stage was reached she was able to have antibiotics and baths with special shampoo to help her skin. She was found to have a pyometra and so underwent an emergency hysterectomy. She did really well through out and has started to put on weight slowly, although she is quite a stressy dog so getting weight on her is not an easy task. Dusty will now play with the other dogs and has even learned to play ball. She still struggles to trust people, particularly men, but given time we are confident that this can be improved. If you can give Dusty a home please email: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Sam Sam is a lovely friendly boy who was found as a stray, and came to us from the council pound having served his statutory 7 days. He is about 5 years old and needed investigations as he wasn't walking normally. He saw the vet on 6th June and went in for x-rays under general anaesthetic the following day (we took the opportunity to neuter him as well). The x-rays do not make happy viewing – we think he has suffered a past trauma (perhaps been hit by a car) and he is likely to need a hip replacement and bilateral shoulder replacements. After referral to a specialist vet Sam has had an elbow replacement. Sam has a lovely nature and we think that he deserves a chance! You can read more about his story by clicking on the link below. More about Sam's story>> Watch a video of Sam>> If you can give Sam a home please email: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Toby Toby is a black and tan, short haired, German Shepherd Cross aged about 18 months. He is fairly small weighing only about 17kg. Toby is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He has been through the rescue system before and came to us from his owners who had only had him for about 5 months. Toby has boundless energy and needs lots of stimulation and exercise. He is a friendly dog who, like so many, just needs some boundaries. Are you able to offer little Toby a forever home? Watch a video of Toby>> If you can give Toby a home please email us at: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Digger Digger is a 1 year old, male Rottweiler (ok so he isn’t a German Shepherd, but he still needs a home). He was brought up in a busy home with young children and found it difficult to cope. Digger was a nervous youngster who needed time and space to help him to build up his confidence in a quiet, stable environment. He has been in a foster home since February and is now much more relaxed. He enjoys playing with other dogs once he has got over his initial nervousness and needs a home where he can continue to progress and increase his confidence. He is a lovely, friendly dog who needs a confident, relaxed and calm two legged friend who can give him confidence and with whom he can continue to flourish. Watch a video of Digger>> If you can give Digger a home please email us at: admin@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
