Keira - 4 years old (in Jan 2012)
Keira is a girl bred here in Jan 2008. She's a Grace/Midas daughter.
Due to her owner starting her own business and now working full time Keira isn't getting the attention she needs so her owner Joanne had to make the hard decision to rehome her and their border terrier 'Buzz'. Joanne would like Buzz to be rehomed with Keira if at all possible as they are so close but understands that this might be a big ask.
Both dogs are KC registered.
Here is what Joanne say's about them both - can tell they are loved and will be missed when the right home is found:..
Keira is almost 4 years old, Buzz (Border terrier) will be 6 on Christmas day. They are the best of friends! Both are good with kids and other dogs. I haven't been able to stop Buzz from jumping up on people so subsequently Keira likes to do the same, they both get so excited to see people. Keira still pulls when on the lead but her harness helps a lot. I must admit that they aren't on the lead very often as I take them down to the beach most nights (which they absolutley love) As I'm out through the day they have the run of the back yard and the garage, so they have plenty room to run around.Both have a lovely temperament, Keira in particular is a big softie :) She loves to chase other dogs at the beach but if they turn to chase her she cries all the way back to me lol. She never ventures too far without coming back to make sure I'm there. Buzz on the other hand will go off to chase another dog and suddenly becomes deaf, I have to go and bring him back :) They both love cuddles and affection. Buzz has been neutered. They're up to date with their vaccinations. They are just the nicest dogs anyone could ask for, I'm probably being biase, but really they are:)
. If you are interested in offering Keira and possibly Buzz a loving home and would like to arrange to meet them please call Joanne direct on
01665 606481 (after 6pm) or 07816 453739.

As people that know me will tell you I hate the thought of any of my dogs ending up in rescue. Sadly, on one occassion one of my girls did. However, am pleased to report that Crystal will be staying with her foster family now so she's safe, well and happy......
Crystal was helped through the German Shepherd Rescue South charity Hampshire - and they have my deepest thanks
If there is anyone out there that can help this worthy charity with either donations (every penny counts) just click on donations button on their web site. You can also help by offering foster care etc please get in touch with Carol at the rescue if you can help. Click on banner below

I am proud to be a volunteer with the GSDR and have seen some gorgeous dogs be rehomed through this wonderful rescue. I am now also able to microchip them if they don't have one already to hopefully ensure they never end up in rescue again.
There are always many lovely GSD's in need of loving homes and some TLC at the rescue - so is one of the best places to look if you wish to adopt a GSD.
The German Shepherd Dog Rescue have listings for dogs nationwide.

Taking on any adult dog can be quite an undertaking and should not be entered into lightly.
Basically I would say, if in any doubt, don't do it! ...It is simply not fair on the dog should you change your mind.
That being said, if you are sure you know that this is the right option for you and you can put the time and effort in, then it can be very rewarding for both you and the dog you adopt.
Please see below for one of many success stories ..
We got Helga (our new name for her) from Lesley on September 16th 2008 after an evening of compatibility testing between her and our other rescue GSD, Helmut, at Lesley's house. She was not the prettiest of sights when we got her as she had blown her coat and looked somewhat dishevelled - the trauma of losing her first home we think.
As with all re-homed and rescue dogs, it has taken time, clear boundaries, patience and a lot of love to get her thoroughly settled into our pack and confident about her place in it. She is still work in progress, as is Helmut. They are, after all, boisterous GSD's who given an inch would take a mile, but they are a true delight to have around and their trainer, Janet, is very pleased with their progress.
She also observed that Helga is naturally the more obedient and biddable of the two dogs. Friends too have commented on how relaxed,calm and happy Helga has become.
Helga is now a stunningly beautiful, happy, affectionate girl who loves us, Helmut and the cats to pieces. She is such a looker and has such an expressive face that we have to be very careful that she doesn't steal all the limelight and attention from Helmut. The owners and the staff of the kennels that we use when we have to go away are besotted with her.
To anyone considering taking a re-homed dog from Lesley we would say, if you have the time and space to give proper attention to their care, discipline and training, go for it. It will be hard work but the rewards that you get are immeasurable. We wouldn't part with Helga for the World.
