100 Days with 100 Dogs: Day 38 - Resident Nelson

Day 38 of 100 Days with 100 Dogs is apparently International Buy a Book Day - I think these holidays are getting a little too blatant :-) However rather than link you to my author page I'll offer a link to a book that is essential reading for anyone looking to take in a rescue - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adopting-rescue-dog-Without-Worry-ebook/

Resident Nelson

This cheeky chappie is Nelson. He his a very handsome 6 year old, black and gold GSD. Sadly he came to us because of some issues he had that his previous home that they weren't able to work with. Resource guarding and reacting to people and dogs being just some of his issues.

Since joining us he's made tremendous progress but unfortunately we do not feel he is suitable for rehoming. He will stay in our care where he is very happy and settled.

This dog is kept under our permanent care, please consider sponsoring our resident dogs to help pay for their life long upkeep. You can sponsor our residential dogs here: http://www.gsdwelfarefund.co.uk/product/sponsor-a-dog/

100 Days with 100 Dogs: Day 37 - Meet Storm

 

Day 37 of 100 Days with 100 Dogs welcomes a lovely young lady looking for her forever home - can you provide one for her?

Meet Storm

This beautiful girl is Storm. She is just 12 months old, and a black and tan entire short coated female. A disagreement with a resident dog has brought her into Welfare. 

She is very loving towards humans, even strangers. Because of her history she will be looking for a pet free home. She has a high prey drive, but we think she would be fine with older children (above 10 years old).

She's currently located in Mildenhall, Suffolk

If you are able to offer Storm her forever home then please contact us via our adoption page - http://www.gsdwelfarefund.co.uk/adopting-a-german-shepherd/

Not already a GSD Welfare Member? Then we invite you to join and from as little as £10 per year you will receive our quarterly newsletter 'Dogsbody' - https://www.gsdwelfarefund.co.uk/product/gsd-welfare-fund-annual-membership/

  


Tia's Pupdates - Fake Snow, Real Games

Hello everypawdy. Tia here with a pupdate. Today I have to tell you all about a wonderful new game I've learned to play with the hooman. It was so much fun, and a surprise too, as I really wasn't expecting to be playing games. The hooman let me out to play while she cleaned my kennel. I don't usually pay too much attention to this as I usually take myself off in the field to explore. 

However, today curiosity lured me back to check what she was doing.  She was having so much fun all by herself throwing snow around. It wasn't like the normal icy snow, but still looked a lot of fun so I joined in.  I helped her to pull it out of the bag and rolled around in it.  

The hooman being a spoilsport tried to end the game, and asked me to go out of the kennel. I really don't think it's fair she gets all the fun so I stayed. I shall be watching in future and every time I see her with the bag of snow I won't leave the kennel.  Anyway - I must go as my Rodney is calling. 

Love Tia ❤❤❤

To keep me in the delicious treats I so richly deserve, please consider donating generously to the German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund. They not only rescued me (although ambushed is probably more accurate), they also continue to take good care of me and far too many other dogs!

[Editor's Note] I've just narrowly escaped being bitten on the bottom as Tia was vexed that no-one had sent her any problems to solve. I tried to explain that maybe, biting on the bottom isn't a solution to all of life's problems. So she bit on the bottom and ran away. 

If you have a problem that requires a dog with a particular set of skills then email in to tiaspupdates@gmail.com. Tia does accept bribes, usually in the form of her favourite sausages, to satisfy this not-so-subtle hint please make a donation and make a note that it is for Tia's sausages.

100 Days with 100 Dogs: Day 36 - Millie in Rehabilitation

Day 36 of our 100 Days with 100 Dogs series and we meet one of the many dogs that come to us, but need rehabilitation work before they can be considered for rehoming. Let's meet Millie...

Millie in Rehabilitation

Millie is a short coated sable female who is just 1 years old.  She was taken to the vets by her previous owner as they didn’t want her any longer.  We've had her with us for 14 weeks now, and we are still ironing out a few issues with her.  

She is currently in foster and living with another dog, although she can still be a bit over the top in her play.  Millie is making wonderful progress, but is not ready for homing quite yet.  We will not be able to give a proper idea of the home we are looking for, for Millie, until she has had more rehabilitation.

We will post again when Millie is ready for rehoming, after then we'll look at adoption queries for her.

Today is International Day of Charity and we hope you are able to support us generously today - you can look on our store - http://www.gsdwelfarefund.co.uk/shop/ , donate directly, or support a new fundraiser raising money to help pay for Brodie's surgery here - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/kiansendurancechallenge

100 Days with 100 Dogs: Day 35 - Meet Rocky

Day 35 of the 100 Days with 100 Dogs falls on 'Have Another Dessert day', which apparently is US based, but I think it's fine to celebrate in the UK, so some Butterscotch Angel Delight (other puddings are available) which not only is one of my favourite treats, but Wellington does like it, so I get all of it to myself! Marvelous 𓀁 Today we meet a young lad looking for his forever home - can you help?

Meet Rocky

Rocky is a handsome 2 year old male German Shepherd. He's a bi-colour. When he first came to us he exhibited a few issues, but we determined that they stemmed from anxiety. 

Since then he's come on in leaps and bounds, and is much happier than when we first met him. On first meetings he takes a while to warm to you, although once he knows you, he is a lovely boy. Rocky's ideal home would be as an only pet and no children.

Rocky is currently located at Mildenhall in Suffolk.

If you can offer Rocky a loving home, then please get in touch via our adoption query form here - https://www.gsdwelfarefund.co.uk/dogslist/

We are holding as Halloween Horror Auction in October (not long to go at all!) - if you have something suitable to donate for auction then please get in touch whith us here - https://gsdwelfare.blogspot.com/2022/09/calling-all-creators-of-horror.html

Calling All Creators of Horror!



As part of our fundraising to keep the German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming vulnerable German Shepherds we are hosting a Halloween Horror Auction throughout the month of October, and of course including All Hallows Eve.

We're asking for items that we can auction - we've received an amazing response so far with original art, signed books, novelties and signed prints.There's an eclectic range from the spookily lighthearted all the way to stomach wrenching terror.

To let us know if you're donating something for the auction, please complete the short form below, and thank you all for your amazing generosity!
