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.

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. We think he will probably be best in a home with no cats or other dogs although there is a possibility that he could get along with a bitch.If you are interested in Kass, please phone Gyll Mauchline (Between 9:00 and 17:00) on: 01778 424953 or 07708 589792.

Mutts in Distress

The newest arrival at Mutts is Linus (Shepherd cross, 4 years old) Linus is looking for his own special family.He has known what it is like to live in a home and is clearly missing that kind of environment, so we are hoping that a lucky family will come along soon. Hhere is what we know so far… In kennels, Linus can be a little shy but he is still happy and friendly. He loves being out on the paddock, so would love to join you on all your adventures. We will be looking for a quieter and more experienced home for Linus. Preferably one that has owned German Shepherds (or GSD crosses) in the past. Linus will need a home without children or possibly dog experienced older teenagers. Linus can play rough with other dogs but he could possibly live with another dog, who is well socialised.

She has never been destructive, she is fully toilet trained, can be left for up to 4/5 hours, love people and never shown any aggression towards them. Happy travelling in the car. She is crate trained and muzzle trained. She has no special dietary requirements. She struggles with the outside world and does find general walking overwhelming but is more than happy going to an enclosed field and playing ball in the garden.

Three Counties Dog Rescue

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.

Hope Rescue

At only 11 months old Walter is still learning to navigate the world, being a Shepherd mix Walter tends to explore the world through his mouth but is learning how to regulate his excitable tendencies! He is a very people social boy and loves to meet new people. Due to his boisterous nature he is looking for an adult only home.Walter is equally sociable with other dogs and meeting other dogs and having the opportunity to socialise with them is very important to him. However, Walter can struggle to regulate his excitement, so he is learning how to appropriately introduce himself to other dogs whilst learning some dogs won’t want to greet him and to teach him how to walk past other dogs in these situations. Continuing this training will be crucial to ensure his social bucket is regularly filled!Walter’s ideal home would be one where there is the potential to either live with another playful dog or where he has regular access to other social dogs. For his day to day walks, Walter would struggle to walk in highly dog populated areas as he would find this very frustrating, he is therefore looking for a home who can provide him with low dog populated walking routes initially. Our behavioural team at the centre will be on hand to support potential adopters with Walter’s ongoing training both prior to adoption and post adoption.Walter really is such a fantastic boy and with the right support he will be a showstopping dog.
