GSD Rescue & Rehoming is based
in the North East UK and has been in operation there for over 25 years.
It is an all volunteer organisation.
We have limited accommodation where dogs can be cared for .
Dogs are assessed before they are
accepted onto the rehoming scheme and are placed with one of the volunteers
foster homes when ever possible, or in local authority approved boarding
kennels~ Rockverne Boarding Kennels, Greenside.
 Our
veterinary surgeon is Tim Bradbury of Tyne Vet. Clinic, Crawcrook
who
we can recommend without hesitation.
We are not in the business
of becoming a convenient drop off service for people who no longer wish
to keep their dogs.
Rehoming scheme Acceptable conditions.
GSD Rehoming will accept GSD's onto
the rehoming scheme where possible for any of the following
reasons:
-
If the life is directly threatened by
the present living conditions. (Note to owners~ If we consider that the
dog has been neglected or abused, we will inform the appropriate authorities).
-
If the animal is not human- aggressive
and/or not terribly sick, but is scheduled for destruction in another animal
shelter.
-
If another rehoming/rescue scheme out
side of the breed accepts it and needs assistance.
-
Dog rescue can help if you have an unwanted
litter of puppies. We can find good homes for them and spay your bitch.
Rehoming scheme Unacceptable
conditions.
-
If the animal is found running loose and
has no other place to go. Stray dogs should be taken to the Local Authority
Dog shelter.
-
The dog is subject to the dangerous Dogs
Act.
-
The dog is known to be human aggressive.
-
The animal is severely ill and probably
not able to be rehomed.
-
The owner simply can not keep it but has
not tried to find it a home.
-
The owner has grown tired of it but has
not tried to find it a home.
-
The owner wants rid of it because it is
too old or too ill.
Special considerations.
GSD Rehoming often takes into consideration
special circumstances that may affect the above policies. Always tell us
everything when calling about rehoming. We evaluate each case on individual
merit, so you do no justice in withholding information which may convince
us to assist.
We NEVER turn an animal away because
the owner is unwilling to pay, and we make no charge for accepting animals
into our care, however, a contribution towards the work we do is always
appreciated.
