Abbi is 4yrs old. She is very nervous until she knows you but does come round with patience and kindness. She would prefer to be the only dog at home, but does walk happily with other dogs, which would give her confidence. She will need a patient and understanding home, without young children as they may be too much for her. She is clean in her kennel and will be really loyal once she trusts you. Update: Abbi will need a home without too much activity where she can come out of her shell. She may be able to live with a confident dog-savy cat. She would prefer a more rural setting as she is spooked very easily by unexpected noise.

Are you right for Ajax? Ajax is a lively young lad, just 2 years old, bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life. He is confident and excitable when meeting new people and loves attention, but he will need patient, understanding owners who can help him channel that excitement in positive ways. Ajax has ongoing training needs and will thrive in a home committed to continuing his learning at his pace. He cannot be left alone for long periods, so time spent building up his confidence with being left will be essential. Our Training and Behaviour team will be on hand to offer guidance and support to help Ajax settle and succeed in his new home. Ajax has mild hip dysplasia which is not currently requiring any treatment. Our Rehoming Centre team will be happy to discuss this in more detail with potential adopters. Is Ajax right for you? Ajax is a high-energy dog who will suit an active home that can meet both his physical and mental needs. He loves exploring new places and is very alert to his surroundings. When meeting other dogs, Ajax can feel conflicted and may appear excitable, shy, or worried, so he will need continued socialisation and careful introductions. He cannot live with cats, other dogs, small furries, or children, as he currently has limited impulse control, but he can enjoy having calm walking buddies. With structure, patience, and consistent training, Ajax has the potential to grow into a wonderful companion for the right person who is ready to invest time, understanding, and love into his journey. Due to his excitable nature, Ajax will need multiple meets with potential adopters.

Meet Aladdin Aladdin is one of those dogs who quietly steals hearts. Handsome, fluffy and full of personality, he has now spent almost 600 days waiting for his forever home, and we truly cannot understand how this beautiful boy is still overlooked.Originally rescued from a shelter in Brașov, Romania, Aladdin arrived with the world feeling like quite a frightening place. Everything was new to him — even wearing a harness and going for walks took time, patience and trust.Fast forward to today, and Aladdin has blossomed into a funny, affectionate and deeply lovable dog who is so ready for his next chapter.________________________________________ His PersonalityAladdin is a wonderfully goofy, playful boy with a brilliant sense of humour. He has a smile that rarely leaves his face and a playful, bouncy nature that makes him such a joy to be around.He absolutely loves his toys, enjoys pottering around on walks, and is also very talented at relaxing dramatically in his bed while watching the world go by.There is something incredibly charming about him. He has that lovely “little shadow” quality — the kind of dog who will quietly bond very deeply with his person and look to them for reassurance and guidance.He can still be a little skittish at times, and when unsure, he may hover close to your legs looking for comfort and support. But there is absolutely nothing bad in him — he is a truly gentle, harmless and sweet-natured dog.Aladdin is also incredibly striking in appearance. With his fluffy double coat and unusual mountain-dog look, he turns heads everywhere he goes and people are constantly asking what breed he is.________________________________________ Growing in ConfidenceAladdin has already come such a long way. While he can still be thoughtful around new people initially, he now walks beautifully on the lead and enjoys getting out and about.He is no longer the frightened dog he once was, but he will always likely have a slightly sensitive and cautious side to his personality. Because of this, he needs people who understand that confidence is built through kindness, patience and trust.For the right person, this is actually one of the most rewarding things about him. Watching Aladdin continue to blossom, settle and deepen his bond with his people will be incredibly special.He will need a few visits prior to adoption so he can feel comfortable, particularly with his new family handling his harness and building familiarity with him.________________________________________ With Other DogsAladdin has been lovely with the female dogs here and enjoys calm canine company. He can sometimes find very boisterous male dogs a little overwhelming, so gentle introductions suit him best.As he does lack confidence in the world we are looking to place him with a canine companion. He does have a tendency to chase cats and small animals, so he is looking for a home without cats or small furries.________________________________________ His Ideal HomeAladdin would thrive in a calm, understanding home where he can continue building confidence while also enjoying life and adventures with his people.His ideal home would be:• Calm and predictable• Patient and understanding• With access to lovely walks and outdoor time• Happy to continue building trust and confidence• Understanding of a slightly sensitive dog• With a calm canine companion________________________________________ The Right OwnerAladdin needs someone who enjoys building a genuine bond with a dog and understands that trust is something precious.We are looking for someone who is:• Kind and patient• Calm and reassuring• Happy to continue confidence-building• ‍️ Looking for a fun and loyal companion• ️ Ready to truly include their dog in daily life________________________________________ A Few Details• Medium-sized• ️ Beautiful fluffy double coat• Loves toys• ‍️ Walks beautifully on lead• Good with many dogs• No cats or small animals• Slightly skittish but making wonderful progress• Requires a few visits before adoption________________________________________ Why Aladdin?Aladdin is the kind of dog who will absolutely blossom in the right home. He may not want to spend time with every stranger immediately, but when he bonds with you, it feels incredibly genuine and special.He is funny, affectionate, gentle and full of personality, and whoever finally gives this beautiful boy his chance is going to gain a truly wonderful companion.After almost 600 days waiting, we would love nothing more than to finally see Aladdin curled up safely in a home of his own.________________________________________If you think you could offer Aladdin the loving and understanding home he deserves, we would love to hear from you ________________________________________ Our PromiseHappy dogs in happy families is at the heart of everything we do. We are a no-pressure rescue and believe the right home is worth waiting for.Established in 2

*** has interest ***Anita is a bundle of fun who keeps everyone here at the rescue smiling and laughing every single day. She’s got that perfect mix of cheeky charm and pure heart that makes her impossible not to love!On her walks, Anita struts proudly by your side, taking the world in her stride. She’s an absolute delight on the lead and loves any adventure you’re up for. What Anita loves even more, though, is people; she’s a true social butterfly who’ll happily say hello to everyone she meets, especially if there’s the promise of a cuddle (or a treat!) involved.When it comes to other dogs, Anita can find them a little intimidating at times, but she’s made amazing progress during her time with us. She’s now friends with some of our biggest dogs and has even taken on the role of “bodyguard” to our shy residents, patiently waiting for them on walks and making sure they feel safe. Because of this progress, Anita could potentially live with a larger dog if it’s the right match for her and introductions are done carefully.Anita does have epilepsy, which is well managed with a small tablet. We’ll be more than happy to chat with her future family about what to look out for and how best to support her, but rest assured, this doesn’t hold her back one bit. She’s as happy-go-lucky as ever and lives life to the fullest every day.Anita has truly stolen our hearts, and we can’t believe she hasn’t found her forever home yet. She’s ready to fill someone’s life with laughter, cuddles, and endless love.Anita is looking for a home where her new humans are home a lot to help her feel safe and settled after the big changes in her life recently.

Anna is a happy girl who would love a new home. (Further description to come as we get to know her).

German Shepherd Rescue Elite

“Hi Lizzy this is Anna I spoke to you yesterday about. Anna was born 31/12/21. She has ended up with us as she was being kept in a shed and was removed. She is a very sweet girl and has been fine with every one who has dealt with her . She is not used to other dogs but has the odd bark when going past something she hasn’t seen before then tends to ignore.she has formed a habit in the shed of holding her tail with her mouth, she does the same in the kennel, she has now made it sore so is on antibiotics & ant inflammatory for a week to see if that helps, if not she will need an X-ray to see if there is some kind of damage to her tail which has caused the habit. Amputation might be a possibility if there is a problem.”Anna is a lovely girl with people and so far pretty much ignoring the other dogs around her but happily plays with male dogs. Still has issues with her tail as it is obviously a long term behaviour which needs to be unlearnt but is better when with people or with her ball and has got much less over time.Anna is fully vaccinated and spayed and would be fine to live with older children. This lovely girl would benefit from a home where she has her people around most of the time so she doesn’t feel bored enough to chase her tail. It will take time and patience but this sweet girl needs to start living life after her horrible start.Anna had a week in foster last year where she settled really well considering. Unfortunately she had to come back because the resident cat was too stressed having a dog in the house.“We had the pleasure of fostering Anna, a beautiful 4 year old German Shepherd. She’s an incredibly sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on one-on-one attention and loves spending quality time with her humans. Whether it’s cuddling, playing with her toys, or enjoying her meals, Anna brings a gentle and loving energy to the home. She is very clean, housebroken, slept through the night along with being very respectful in our home.Anna does exhibit a spinning behavior, however, with the correct guidance and support this may calm down over time. Despite this challenge, her affectionate nature shines through, and she’s eager to connect with people. People just need to see through this as she would make a lovely family dog.On walks, Anna was great with people but will need slow, careful introductions to unfamiliar dogs. With patience and structure, she has the potential to build confidence in these situations.Anna is a truly special dog who deserves a home where she can continue to grow and feel safe. She’ll make a wonderful companion for someone willing to support her with kindness and consistency.”Anna then had a few months in foster with another couple who had adopted from us before:“We Fostered Anna from the end of November last year, until mid-March this year. All we knew was she was almost 4, had been rescued from a shed by the Police, had been with GSRE in kennels for over a year and had been out to Foster once, but returned after a week because their cat didn’t like her!We’ve had Shepherds since b4 we were married in 1483 and of them all, Anna is by far the most affectionate, kissy, loving and pretty cuddle monster we have EVER encountered. She readily jumps into and out of the car and travels well, settling down quite quickly – she had at least two, two hour journeys with us, without issue. She’s housetrained and can be left on her own (we left her for than 2 hours on one occasion and she simply settled down in our hallway – we have CCTV and checked). She LOVES toys and will systematically dissect anything less robust than a truck tyre or an original Kong within minutes! She is packed with fun, play and energy, LOVES water and will chase after a thrown ball (or anything else) and bring it back to be thrown again and again and again until YOU get tired! She really thrives on mental stimulation, but doesn’t chew the house to pieces and will settle down on her bed for a rest or to watch TV – I kid you not! That said, she also loves to snuggle up on her bed, or with her human or just take herself off to lay on our bed and have a snooze…….She snores!Anna settled, relaxed and grew in confidence over the weeks. Over this time, her tail chasing and biting behaviour slowly abated to almost nothing and her tail tip tail hair has grown back beautifully. However, occasional moments of anxiety did seem to trigger them still, or if she wanted attention but wasn’t getting it. Even then, a firm “NO” generally snapped her out of it.She was a nightmare on the lead to start with and any commands (sit, down, heel, etc) must always have been intended for someone other than Anna! However, with reward-based and CALMLY executed Training, she became good with the basic commands and vastly improved on a lead. She is not inherently treat orientated, so the training rewards do have to be high-value treats or toys – not her day-to-day food. She is HIGHLY intelligent and actually quite a sensiti

Mutts in Distress

This handsome boy is Aussie, sadly he is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. Unfortunately Aussie's owner is unable to care for him due to health issues. This decision has not come lightly to the owner. Aussie has been in boarding kennels before his owner made the decision, he has shown himself to be a very good boy. Aussie is a Sighthound cross from Romania and has been in this country since late 2017/ early 2018 and he was only a pup when he came over (judging by his passport). He is 8 years old now and is used to home comforts. Aussie is halti trained and was used to regular walks with a dog walker, (now exercised daily on our paddock). His previous owner has said he is a very good boy in the house and absolutely adores affection. Aussie was used to a quiet home, with a solo owner but due to his outgoing personality, he could potentially live with a family who have teenage children. Aussie is said not to mind other dogs, providing they do not get in his face / or overly interested in him. It would be so lovely to find Aussie another home, sooner rather than later.
