100 Days with 100 Dogs: Day 10 - Meet Lassie

We've reached the tenth day of the 100 Days with 100 Dogs series, and we've barely scratched the surface of the dogs we currently look after. There doesn't seem to be any abatement any time soon and we know that other rescues in the UK and across the world are facing the same challenges. Pandemic, war, and financial crisis have left many dogs without homes.

It seems unfair that it's often left to charities like ourselves and their generous supporters to try and put a dog's life back together, when maybe some forethought and planning could help prevent at least some of these cases. At the moment we are mostly reactive - just doing what we can for the dogs, but if we don't take a longer view, and try to prevent at least some of these cases then we'll continue facing an ever escalating problem.

Sometimes though, circumstances mean that we have to get involved, and that is what we are here for...

Meet Lassie

Lassie is a 6 year old female, long coated black and tan German Shepherd. 

Sadly she came to us due to her previous owner's health issues. It was a relation that brought her to us, and they didn't know her history, and so couldn't confirm if she's been neutered or not. 

She is very fun loving and energetic for her age, and so gives the impression of being much younger. 

Lassie has been fine with other dogs, so could live with a male dog after proper introduction. She is great with people and we cannot see any reason why she couldn't live with children. We don't know her reaction to cats, so a cat free home is probably best. 

She's currently situated in Mildenhall, Suffolk.

If you could provide Lassie's forever home then contact us via email gsdwelfarefund@gmail.com

Apart from adopting one of our dogs there are many ways that people can support our mission - we've compiled a big list here https://www.gsdwelfarefund.co.uk/how-you-can-help/ There are undoubtedly other ways we haven't listed, so feel free to share any ideas you might have in the comments below.
