Before rescuing a dog, ask yourself the following!!
Before rescuing a dog, ask yourself the following!!
Can I afford to have a dog, taking into account the initial rehoming donation to this Rescue, the ongoing expenses such as food, veterinary fees and pet insurance, rough estimate a dog can cost in excess of £25 a week.
Can I make a lifelong commitment to a dog, a dog's average lifespan is 12+years.
Is my home big enough to house a German Shepherd?
Can I /Do I really want to exercise a dog every day?
Will there be someone home for the dog? Dogs also get lonely just as humans do!
Will I/Do I have time to train, groom and generally care for the dog?
Am I able to answer YES to these questions every day of the year?
If you are unable to fulfill all of the above requirements, then you should re-consider your decision of bringing a shepherd into your home.
But if you are confident you can offer a dog all over the above, then the next step would be to fill out the application form and we can source a suitable shepherd for you.
