View Full Version : Alsatian type dog wanted
honeyb35 31-12-2008, 13:00 forgive me if this is the wrong way of asking, I've never been in this section before!
My mother in law lost her dog, a white alsation a few months ago :( shes on the lookout for another dog and wants another alsation type dog. It doesn't have to be pure bred - just have the look of one!
Shes also not after a puppy, although a fairly youngish dog would be nice. It must be housetrained and fairly good with kids - none live there but she has a few young grandchildren who visit.
I know she has been to a few rescue homes but none have anything suitable, as she's got her heart so set on an alsation. Apparently they are the type of dogs shes always had, I only ever knew her last dog Rebel who was over 12 when he died.
If anyone knows of one that needs rehoming please let me know, many thanks.
*Peaches* 31-12-2008, 15:50 I know someone breaking her heart having to rehome her German Shepard. If you're interested let me know, but she's down south x
Godzilla 31-12-2008, 17:13 There was an item in today's Star about a GSD needing funds for an operation and then a new home with an experienced owner. I'm no good at posting links so perhaps someone else might do this.
Spring Street kennels have a couple of shepherds and shepherd cross breeds..you should phone to make appointment to view them..dogs are desperate for homes down there..so little space left
SpeedDemon 31-12-2008, 19:52 honeyb35, have you tried www.germanshepherdrescue.co.uk ?
Hope she gets what she's looking for, they're fabulous dogs, even though they're just a little bit hairy :rolleyes::hihi:
Rainrescue 01-01-2009, 00:29 We have Baxter with us
http://www.rainrescue.co.uk/rotherham.htm
He is absolutely gorgeous natured and gets on with other dogs - and loves people
Really clean and well behaved in his kennel.
Came to us very underweight, but now gaining weight - got a lovely shining coat coming through and we have just had him castrated
He will make someone a lovely dog and is really bored in kennels.
pm or email me if she may be interested to have a look at him
He is already castrated, wormed, flead and microchipped and had his booster inoculation.
Quote from website......
What more could anyone ask, this lovely dog and all this.
ive always had German Shephered crosses before and they are one of the best to have.
Good luck baxter wish you a happy new year. nikita .
We have Ben if you wish to take a look, you need to click on the dogs for rehoming page .

carpetviper 01-01-2009, 14:50 Theres a gorgeous beige coloured on in spring kennels.
I help to walk Baxter last week and he is gorgeous. He had a bad start but thanks to Rainrescue is coming on a treat. Lovely temperament, friendly and just wants a loving home. Would make a lovely addition to any family. x
Theres a gorgeous beige coloured on in spring kennels.(S)He'd be great with an experienced owner. Although I was told this dog wasn't great with other dogs, it was noticeable that this dog was only responding to other dogs getting the first word in, but didn't seem to be making any first moves
Lovely looking dog. Quite large for a shepherd too
I think he may have some akita breeding in him
Well he certainly looks like Deefenbaker (sp?) off Due South - if anybody remembers that programme!
Rainrescue 03-01-2009, 00:34 Baxter has gone to a foster home today - we cat tested him and he was fine - and has been for a lovely walk.
News from the foster family tonight is that he is settled well in his bed - what a nice night for him after a bad home previously - weeks in kennels - now fed well, wormed, (ok castrated may not be so great) and now in a lovely home
Still needing a home for life though.
honeyb35 03-01-2009, 00:39 Oh theres some lovely dogs on those sites! I wish I had room!
Many thanks people for your help, I'll pass all this info on to her. Can someone please let me know where exactly Spring Kennels is?

Great news for baxter, one step closer to getting a life time home..fingers crossed for him
Spring STREET kennels
it's a stones throw from west bar police station - on the new ring road
if you go to the mini roundabout at the fire station museum, head down the road to the right of it as you look at it, and take a right at the dulux decorator centre, you're there
Well he certainly looks like Deefenbaker (sp?) off Due South - if anybody remembers that programme!
Wasn't he deaf and had to lip-read?? He was certainly a beautiful beast.
Was he deaf? :confused:
I think the story was that he saved the hero from drowning and became deaf as a result, but I might well have imagined it! I shall have to go off and visit Google to check, now.
Edit: I was right, he was deaf! Linky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_South
Isn't memory a strange and wonderful thing? I can remember a damn dog/wolf is deaf - and why - but I can forget what I went to the kitchen for in the few seconds it takes me to walk there from the parlour!
... and then a certain little dog 'reminds' you you went out to feed him? :hihi:
honeyb35 06-01-2009, 22:13 Update on this - MIL has been visiting different homes, she saw Ben but he wasn't suitable, think it was to do with the children thing :(
Anyway shes ended up with a border collie - I think Benjy from Spring Street? So much for insisting it had to be an alsation!
I've been to say a quick hello tonight, didn't want to disturb him in his new home too much! He's a gorgeous dog, very friendly and bouncy and I hope him and MIL settle down together!
ooo was he the slender collie we photographed last week?
He sounds lovely. We did the same thing, we went in looking for a German Shephered as we are used to the breed, but there wasn't any there . We came out with a Staffie.
honeyb35 06-01-2009, 22:38 he might have been strix! I'm not sure, but he liked my eldest daughter :hihi:
Rotherham Dog Rescue have a lovely German Shepherd Cross female on their website called Trudy she is 9 months old.http://www.rotherham-dog-rescue.co.uk/inf_03a.htm
SpeedDemon 07-01-2009, 10:08 ah thats lovely honeyb, hope they'll have a happy life together :)
honeyb, was it monday she got him? The white and brown one (k3) or white and black (21)? :)
