The German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund is a charity that rescues, cares for and rehomes vulnerable German Shepherds. Established since 1975, it was the first German Shepherd Dog breed only rescue to be formed in the UK. Many of the dogs that come into our care have behavioural issues and we do our best to rehabilitate them so they can find a loving home. Some come to us with ongoing illnesses. We do not discriminate against these dogs, in fact, we pledge to pay for their medication for the rest of their life.
As a rescue, we take pride that we do not “tick a box” to say we have homed a dog. We do our upmost best to match the right dog to the right home. Therefore we ask prospective adopters to visit the dog they are interested in several times so the dog can get to know them and we can too. We do not believe in handing the dog over to a stranger and letting them take them away. This is not fair on the dog. All the dogs in our care are very happy and are well loved and cared for. Although we love a success story when one of our dogs finds its forever home, our dogs are in no hurry to be moved on.
Why We Do What We Do
This German Shepherd was just one of nine and 4 puppies that were rescued from a flat. She was being used as a breeding machine. As you can see, she was emaciated and in a terrible condition and hardly able to survive herself, let alone feed puppies. Terrified, as she had never been outside of the flat. Thankfully, we were able to nurse her back to health. Sadly, two of the pups didn’t make it although everything in our power was done to help them.
When people wonder why we do what we do, we wonder why they wonder!
