The German Shepherd Rescue Trust

Sharing, Home needed for this dog Otago area. Do not know anything other than what is stated in the advert. All communications to the contact details in the ad.

The owner is looking to rehome their beloved purebred German Shepherd, Zoey, due to a family breakup. Unfortunately, due to the owner's busy schedule, they are unable to give Zoey the attention and care she deserves. Zoey is a wonderful dog but does not get along well with cats and may be unsettled around other dogs unless introduced properly. She believes she's a lap dog and is very affectionate.

Zoey is fully vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, chipped, and spayed. She comes with her full veterinary records. The owner is looking for a home where Zoey will receive the attention and care she needs.

Zoey Is about 2.5 Years 3 in August

Zoey is located in North Otago. Only serious inquiries from those who can provide a loving, suitable home will be considered.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our adopters and supporters. You all make these challenges so worthwhile, coming to the aid of those dogs who owners have given up on them, departed from them, leaving them lost and alone, with either physical support or financial support. Without your help we would struggle, with your help we succeed.

Many think we are a general rescue, we are not. We are there for the ones who have no-one to help them - no owners.

When you make the decision to get a GSD, it is a life decision, not an 'until' decision. Yes they can make you change your life, but that should have been considered before purchase not after. The first 18 months the most challenging, the fur shedding can be horrendous, but surely you knew all that before hand - So a big thank you to the adopters for changing their lives and accepting the fur shedding by giving these abandoned and lost ones a chance of a 'second leash on life'.

So keep safe over these holidays, spoil your dog with love and kindness, don't let them get into the christmas tarts and we will continue on with our mission in 2025.

I would like to officially welcome Theo #1495 who has been with Janet for just over a month and is now officially adopted by her. He is such a lovely boy, nearly 5 years old. He has been a much loved dog of his previous family who have moved overseas. The first home they selected for him did not work out so they contacted us. It was a few weeks after Janet had lost fosterdog Rufus and her home felt very empty. She came with me to do the assessment and was instantly captivated.. love at first sight. Over the following week she organised things and he came to live with her the following week. He has a couple of health issues which are treatable and manageable. He was insured by his previous owner and the insurance company were happy to transfer the policy into Janet's name and continue everything as before, all his existing conditions are covered. So welcome Theo to the GSD family.

RIP Terrina # 1482. Sadly, Terrina, passed away on Sunday. She was approximately 11-12 years of age and had lived the last 5 months with Lisa after us taking her into care in June this year, from the Whakatane SPCA due to her horrible living conditions. She was having breathing difficulties and on checking for an obstruction in her throat she was diagnosed with laryngeal paralysis. I am so sorry you had such a short time with her Lisa.
