    I've got a real tender spot for them. Our Rusty is a rescue, but he was from a rescue in Spain when we lived there.

    I'm pretty certain they would be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck, and thank you for thinking about rescuing x

      Most pedigree breeds have rescue charities, there will surely be some for German Shepherds.

      My wife is involved in a Labrador rescue charity where she helps collect dogs from unwanted homes, marriage break ups etc and the volunteers relay the dogs on to each other to get it to its new home. We foster them too, looking after them until a new home is found.

        There're such a lot of 'covid era' dogs in rescue centres. People bought them during lockdown and the dogs, especially puppies didn't get to be socialised. These dogs have terrible anxiety, not surprising when they were treated as toys when puppies. They just can't understand why they've gone out of favour. I'd have the lot of them if it was possible. All they want to do is to please and show loyalty.... breaks my heart.
