German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund

German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund To raise awareness of German Shepherd Dogs in need of rescuing and rehoming and to help support them wherever possible.

The German Shepherd Welfare Fund was established in 1975 and has since rehomed nearly 10,000 vulnerable German Shepherds. Unfortunately, there are still many more who need homes and are facing an unprecedented demand for our help. So much so that we're currently stretched beyond our means. We rely on donations from the public to fund our mission and we need your help finding homes for our rescued dogs.

🌈 With the heaviest of hearts, we have to share the devastating news that our beloved Ranger passed away this morning.

It was unexpected, and we're still unsure of the cause — but he went very suddenly on his way to the vets, leaving us in complete shock and sorrow.

Ranger came into our lives three years ago after suffering from separation anxiety due to being left alone for long hours. From the moment he joined our family, he brought such joy. He was a total goofball — affectionate, happy and full of character.

"Gone before your time, you will be missed terribly. Sleep tight baby boy".

We love catching up with our adopted puppers living their best lives in their forever homes. 🐾💛

And some of them settle in like they’ve been there forever — just look at Freddie! This sweet guy has his people wrapped around his paws already.

From kennel pup to sofa king, Freddie is absolutely thriving. And the best part? He’s even adopted a sister of his own! 🛋️🐕

All together now... Aaaaaww! 😍

So… do you think Marley’s settled in? 😄
Think she’s already claimed her sofa (and probably has treats on tap too!).

After so long in kennels, it’s clear Marley has well and truly landed on her paws — and we're so happy for her. 💛
She finally has the loving family she always deserved.

Be happy, gorgeous girl, and don’t forget to stay in touch darling xx.

We are always so grateful for the incredible support of our donors and followers. So much of what we do to save dogs is only possible because of you. ❤️

But some of our supporters go the extra mile — literally!

🌟 Meet Charlotte Swallow ()! Deeply moved by our need for funds, she has decided to take on a five-mile challenge on 6th September to help raise vital funds for our cause.

Having trained for months, Charlotte says this will be her biggest challenge yet — and we couldn’t be more proud or thankful. 💪🐶

We're absolutely behind you, Charlotte! 🙌 Let’s all cheer her on and help her hit her goal.

🐾 Willow's country adventure walk🐾

Look at beautiful Willow out on her nature walk — ears up, nose down, and proudly rocking her brand new harness, kindly donated by one of our amazing supporters 💚

She took in all the smells, sights and sounds — even the sheep! — with calm curiosity. Water? Hmm… not her thing just yet! 😅 But we're so proud of how far she’s come.

💔 Willow’s journey hasn’t been easy. She came into rescue as a terrified pup, after being badly mistreated by children. No one could get near her. But with love, time, and patience, Willow has made incredible progress. She can now meet new people through gentle, careful introductions. 💪

🏡 Now, she needs a home. Could that be you?

We’re looking for:
✅ A quiet, understanding home
✅ Someone with experience and patience to continue building her confidence
✅ Ideally local to the Welfare for ongoing support

This girl is so special — she just needs the right person to help her bloom. 🌸

Please share to help Willow find her happy ending 💛

Well, he’s only gone and done it! 🌟

Our darling Diesel has officially bagged his forever home! 🐾💛 Woohoo!

He’ll be packing up his chew toys, saying goodbye to his favourite pals (furry and non furry) and will soon be heading off to a life filled with sofas, long walks, belly rubs, and—most importantly—the love of his very own family.

We don’t mind admitting it but he has fallen head over paws in love with his new people already. 💕 And while our hearts are bursting with joy, he will leave us with a big Diesel-shaped hole to fill.

Diesel says:
Hey fans, I’ve checked that my new home comes with a sofa in every room, and they’ve already passed the treat test. I''ll soon have them wrapped round my paws'.

Your time has come, sweet boy. Go live the life you deserve. 🐶🏡
