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.

;) ;) | Princess Princess is a 2 year old German Shepherd Rescue dog who has recently had puppies. The puppies have been weaned and she has now come to us as a ‘bag of bones’. Princess is quite agitated at the moment (she is only a baby herself) and needs time to settle, relax and put on some weight. A pretty girl with heaps of energy, notwithstanding her poor physical state, who will need a calm, patient environment in which to thrive. If you can give Princess a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Juno Juno is a 2 year old, white, German Shepherd Rescue bitch who is looking for a calm, experienced home. Juno is a shy, anxious dog who needs time and consistency to help her to build up her confidence with people and the world in general. Her previous owner has worked hard with Juno (with the assistance of Sarah Heath, Behaviourist) but due to her pregnancy and Juno’s anxiety, it was felt that Juno would be unable to cope with a baby in the house and that it would be in her bests interests to be rehomed. Juno is still a young dog and with the right environment and approach, she will make somebody a super companion. If you can give Juno a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Alice Alice is a 1 year old, black and tan, German Shepherd Rescue dog. She is a typical, intelligent, young dog who is energetic and excitable. Alice is friendly and playful, but needs a calm, experienced home with someone who has the time and patience to give her the training and guidance that she needs. If you can give Alice a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Marley Marley is a sweet 8 month old dog with a lovely nature. He has lived in a busy household with another dog and a cat (although as a young dog he still needs to learn not to chase). Marley is looking for a new home as his family are unable to give him the time that he needs to properly socialise him and guide him towards responsible adulthood. Marley can be a little apprehensive with new things but quickly comes round – are you able to offer the lovely Marley a place by your fireside? If you can give Marley a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) ;) ;) | Teddy Teddy is a young black German Shepherd Rescue dog who was probably one of the most terrified young dogs we have ever seen. He was in the council pound, having been 'poled' in and was not able to be touched and literally 'screamed' and urinated if anyone went near him. A couple of rescues had tried to get him out but nobody could get near him. Doris Banham managed to sedate him and even with that struggled to move him but they managed it and got him to a safe kennels in Lincs. Still he would trust no one and after further failed attempts to move him by other rescues, we agreed to take him. Super Sindy travelled a 4 hour return journey every day for 3 weeks to spend time with him so that we could move him. She eventually managed to get a collar on him and managed to entice him into a crate which was lifted in and out of the car with Teddy inside. Teddy has a long long way to go - he is absolutely filthy and his coat is very, very matted, but we can't do anything about that yet - kindness and patience will win him over in the end. He is now with us and with the help of the other dogs we hope to eventually win his trust - he seems to be far more trusting of dogs than people. Dusty has already started to help him, but we are still not at a stage where he is happy to be touched. We can only imagine what horrors this poor boy has faced in his short life, and it will be a long haul to get him to a stage where we could even consider rehoming him. If you are able to make a small donation to help towards Teddy’s care and expenses, that would be very much appreciated. We will post regular updates on our facebook page! Keep up with Teddy's progress on Facebook>> If you can give Teddy a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Sammy Sammy is a black, 8 year old German Shepherd Rescue dog. He is a really sweet boy who is a little confused at the moment as he has lived in a family home all his life. Sammy has previously lived with cats but is choosy about his canine companions. Are you able to offer Sammy a retirement home where he can play away and rest of his years? If you can give Sammy a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Kaiser Kaiser is a beautiful, young, black and tan German Shepherd Rescue dog, who has been passed around a fair amount in recent months. He has become a bit confused, stressed and anxious and needs some time to relax and chill out before he will be ready to be rehomed. Kaiser has lived with another dog and cats in the past. His true character will come out once he has had the time and space that he needs to relax. Watch this space for details of his progress. If you can give Kaiser a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Prada Prada is an 8 year old, spayed, black and tan German Shepherd rescue bitch, who is sadly looking for a new home because her owner has been rendered homeless. She is a little nervous and takes a while to trust people but she does come round. She loves water, loves being brushed and enjoys being cuddled. Prada enjoys playing ball and will happily bring the ball back and drop it for it to be thrown again. A lovely dog who deserves some stability – can you offer her that security where she can see out the rest of her years? If you can give Prada a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Ruby Ruby is an affectionate 5 year old, spayed, German Shepherd Rescue bitch who has, sadly, had a number of homes. She a lovely friendly dog and her only vice is that she does not like other dogs. Ruby originally came into the rescue a year ago and it took her 10 months to find a home – she spent a lot of that time in commercial kennels where she lost weight and became very stressed. Ruby went to a new home in November but unfortunately her new family have found it too stressful to manage her issue with other dogs. Ruby would prefer a home as an only dog with someone who has time to give her the exercise, training and boundaries that she needs, and without forcing canine socialisation on her. Are you able to offer the lovely Ruby a home? If you can give Ruby a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 More on Ruby >> |
;) ;) | Bailey Bailey has come into the rescue from the pound having been picked up as a stray. He has charmed everyone in the short time that he has spent at the Council kennels. Bailey is a friendly bouncy boy, who appears to be non reactive with other dogs, but he is undisciplined and constantly wants to jump up, particularly when on a lead, but it is not in any way malicious. He will fetch a ball and drop it when told to leave, but otherwise seems fairly untrained. Bailey will be further assessed but initial impressions paint him as a very nice adult who just needs a bit of training. If you can give Bailey a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Leo Leo is a beautiful, friendly, Anatolian Shepherd rescue dog who is about a year old. He was only in his last home for about a month and was kept on a chain outside but despite this he has settled in to living in his foster home well. He loves nothing more than having big cuddles and has been great with every dog he has met, he just wants to play with them. Everyone who meets this gorgeous lad just falls in love, he is a true soft and gentle giant who wants to lie at your feet and have his tummy tickled. He’s learning the basics and is really starting to come on. A beautiful boy who deserves a chance, could you become his new best friend? If you can give Leo a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Lucy Lucy is a lovely, young German Shepherd Rescue bitch, who has came over from Ireland about a year ago. She was found as a stray and was in a pound where she had nothing to look forward to apart from euthanasia. We thought that she deserved better and she found a home very quickly. Unfortunately Lucy has come back to the rescue as her new family’s situation has changed and they are no longer able to keep her – Lucy is a friendly girl, young and possibly a cross (the only non gsd thing about her is that her ears are floppy). She is a lovely dog who would make any home complete. Can you offer the lovely Lucy a home? If you can give Lucy a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Rocco Rocco is a 2 year old, sable German Shepherd Rescue dog who is sadly looking for a new home due to a change in his owner’s circumstances. He has been a much loved companion and has lived with children. Rocco is a boisterous young dog who would benefit from some time and training. A lovely dog who would make any home complete. If you can give Rocco a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Mia Mia is a pretty, 2 year, German Shepherd rescue bitch, who has until recently lived with her sister. She is a little wary of strangers but quickly comes around and enjoys a fuss and a play. Mia is very young for her age and still behaves like a puppy. Mia has not been socialised with other dogs and will bark at them – we are working with her to increase her confidence around other dogs. A lovely dog who is being very reluctantly rehomed by her owner as the two sisters together are just too much to sensibly cope with. A lovely girl who with time, patience and consistency will make someone a fantastic companion. If you can give Mia a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Marshall Marshall is a 3 year old, black and tan, male German Shepherd Recue dog, who has been much misunderstood. In his early life he had four different homes before coming into the rescue and being rehomed. He was in his home for a year before being recently returned to us. He is a confused boy who needs to be with somebody he can trust to keep him safe and look after him; trust that takes time to build with calm patience and consistency. Marshall is a lovely, affectionate dog who desperately needs some stability in his life. He needs lots of time and space to relax without being pushed into situations that he finds difficult to cope with and which exacerbates his anxieties. Can you offer this very special dog that opportunity? If you can give Marshall a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Salem Salem has come into the rescue recently. He is a lovely 4 year old German Shepherd Resuce dog who loves to play ball. He is not very keen on other dogs or meeting new people. His old owner has worked with him for a long time to try and keep him, and tried everything she could. Unfortunately she has had to make the decision to ask us to take him as no one else has been able to provide support that has helped. We will be working with Salem over the next few months to get to know him in a calm environment and understand what his needs are before he can be considered for rehoming. His old owner thinks he deserves a chance, and we agree. What do you think? Watch a video of Salem>> If you can give Salem a home please email us at: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
;) ;) | Takis Takis is a handsome, 5 year old, neutered German Shepherd Rescue dog. He has lived with the same owner all his life and is, sadly, looking for a new home due to his owner’s change of circumstances. Takis is not over keen on other dogs and would prefer to have a home on his own. Are you able to offer the lovely Takis his forever home? If you can give Takis a home please email us at: alison@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: alison@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: alison@southerncountiesgsdrescue.co.uk Or phone 01425 473907 |
