White Swiss Shepherd Dog

Dog Trouble Foundation

I found life in the Shelter on Zankynthos very stressful and would pace around the kennel. I had to wait a long time but eventually Jo brought me on the long journey to the UK where I'm really happy. Now I just need to find my forever home for there to be a perfect ending to my story.

Strays Without Borders

Hazel was rescued as a little fluffy puppy and sadly waited so long for a home that she spent her entire youth in Macedonian kennel. When she finally was adopted, it didn’t go well and she developed fear based reactivity. But she was lucky the perfect foster home came forward for her and with their experienced and dedicated training she has made huge development. The work with Hazel is still ongoing, but she is now ready for her forever home. Hazel has developed from a shy girl into a big personality who loves running around the house with her toys. She takes time to warm up to people, but once she gets to know you, she will be your best friend. She is loyal, loving and extremely intelligent. She loves cuddles and has a cheeky, playful personality. She is very obedient, and has learnt a lot of tricks which she is eager to show off. Being a typical shepherd dog, she loves to herd and instinctively protects her home. She bonds incredibly strongly with her ‘special person’, so becomes worried when left alone for too long. Hazel has developed from a shy girl into a big personality who loves running around the house with her toys. She takes time to warm up to people, but once she gets to know you, she will be your best friend This stunning girl is a large active dog and needs around two hours of walking (or equivalent exercise) a day, and regular training sessions to keep her mentally stimulated. She can live with a resident dog as long as they’re very confident and friendly as introductions can be a challenge. Although Hazel has made loads of progress with her reactivity she can still be nervous around strangers, and she is triggered by eye contact with people she doesn’t know. She is quite reactive towards dogs she doesn’t know, but becomes very friendly and playful with them after a few slow, careful meetings. The ideal home for Hazel is a calm adults only home with experienced people who will give her the training she needs to continue gaining confidence in the world. There must be a good size secure garden so she can enjoy being outside when weather is nice, and the location should not be too urban and have good, quiet walking areas nearby. Hazel can be potential bite risk in high-stress situations (most commonly when strange dogs are too close), so she needs a physically fit handler. She also may regress in new surroundings, so it’s crucial that her adopter has experience with proper handling of reactivity. Meeting her a couple of times will be recommended so she can get to know her new family before moving again. In the right hands, this beautiful girl has the potential to be the perfect dog! Spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Lifelong rescue back up and adopter support provided.

Kass is a big, handsome boy, DOB 01/05/2021. He is still full of puppy energy and joy and likes nothing more than being outside running around. He likes toys and particularly enjoys ball games. He is learning to bring the ball back to us now. He is still at the age where he likes to chew his toys!He does know basic manners such as sit and wait. He is a strong boy on his lead and we are working on this to get more control. His new family will need to be experienced dog owners and will need to continue to work with him. He is an intelligent boy and learns quickly. He enjoys a fuss and loves his treats.We are looking for a family where any children are over 12 due to Kass’ large size.

Windyway

Gentle giant Luca is a true gentleman - he's around 66kg of dog (think Shetland pony) and turned 8 years old in April '26. He is a Bucovina which is a Romanian Shepherding breed - Romanian Bucovina Shepherd Dogs are courageous working dogs with a soft spot for children. They have a calm, protective nature and are incredibly loyal to their human pack. He has never been called upon to work, only to be a companion. He has found himself in need of a new home due to his owner moving to accommodation where he isn't able to join her. He has been a pub dog all his life and is calm and gentle around all people and other animals. He is used to whiling away the hours in the bar being fed titbits and generally giving doggie cuddles to anyone who needs them, including small children. He does have some stiffness in his joints and is currently trialling some anti-inflammatories to see if they help him. Luca is neutered and chipped and has recently restarted his vaccinations. Luca doesn't need long walks - he would rather potter around a garden and keep you company. He would be ideal for someone who can take a dog to work, or who has a business at home, or for someone who just wants to give a little extra love to a boy who needs it. As a giant dog he is a senior boy and really needs to be loved and cherished in his twilight years.

Sally is a Shepherd X Frenchie born 17/11/2019. She has been with us for a little while as she was incredibly frightened and nervous when she came in to us. We have had to spend quite a few months working with her to gain her trust. Sally is still nervous with new people.Sally is friendly and playful once she knows and trusts you. Sally knows all her basic manners. She loves to be outside to run around and play.Sally is a fairly big, strong girl so we feel any children in her new family should be at least teenagers. Sally is not keen on other dogs or cats so she needs a home where she can be the only animal. She would benefit from an owner who has some experience of the Shepherd breed.Sally really does not like the Vet at all. This can be managed by giving Calmex tablets and putting a muzzle on her. It would also be a good idea for Sally to meet any potential new Vet for a get to know you visit before she actually needs to go for any treatment or vaccinations.If you are interested in Sally, please phone Gyll Mauchline (Between 9:00 and 17:00) on: 01778 424953 or 07708 589792.

Almost Home NI

Sophie (Shepherd X) Meet Sophie. Sophie is a 10-month-old young girl with a huge personality and a lot of love to give. She is affectionate, people-focused, very clever and loves being involved in family life. She enjoys cuddles, attention and meeting people, and she will usually assume every visitor has come especially to see her. Sophie is still young and can be very excitable when greeting people. She may jump up at first, but she responds to clear direction and settles once the initial excitement has passed. She has had training and will benefit from an experienced home that can continue with calm, consistent boundaries, lead work, recall practice and plenty of enrichment. She loves her walks and usually has around an hour of exercise each day. Sophie can pull on the lead and will need continued work in this area. Her recall can be good in the right setting, but she should stay on lead or on a long line unless in a fully secure area, as she cannot be trusted around rabbits, small animals or other high-interest distractions. Sophie can be good with other dogs, but she is very playful and excitable at first. She may be best as the only dog, or with a confident, tolerant dog of a similar size after careful introductions. She is not suitable to live with cats, rabbits, small furries or very small dogs. Sophie loves children, but because she jumps up and does not always realise her own size, she would be best suited to a home with older, dog-savvy children only. She is best fed separately from other animals and people, as she can be protective around food and treats. Sophie also appears to have food sensitivities, so her new home should continue with her current diet and avoid chicken and beef unless advised otherwise by a vet. Sophie settles best with company and will need a home where time alone is built up gradually. She can nap in a crate during the day if needed, but she is not used to being crated overnight. Sophie will make a loyal and affectionate companion for the right home. She needs an active, patient and experienced family who can give her structure, training, exercise and plenty of human attention. Age: 10 months Sex: Female Dogs: Possible with careful introductions; best with a confident dog of similar size, or as an only dog Cats: No Small animals: No Very small dogs: Not recommended Children: Older, dog-savvy children only Ideal home: Active, experienced, secure garden preferred, committed to ongoing training Key Needs: Lead work, recall management, enrichment, gradual alone-time training, separate feeding

Hope Rescue

As Toast settles in, his cheeky personality is beginning to rise to the surface. We’re seeing little bursts of confidence during playtime as he discovers the joy of toys and learns that life can be pretty fun! While he is making lovely progress, Toast can still be unsure at times and will need patient adopters who can continue to support and encourage him as he builds confidence at his own pace.Toast can be underconfident around other dogs, but he does take comfort and reassurance from canine companions. Because of this, he is looking for a home with another calm and understanding dog who can help show him the ropes and who won’t mind giving Toast a little space when he needs it. His adopters should feel confident managing different play styles and helping both dogs build a positive relationship together.Due to his nervous but puppy-like nature, Toast is looking for an older teenage home environment where he can continue to feel safe and secure. He will also need ongoing support with house training and gradually learning how to spend time alone.
