Central German Shepherd Rescue (CGSR) - All About Us
Central German Shepherd Rescue is proud to have achieved full charity status registered on the 2nd June 2015 with the Charity Commission - Our details may be found on the following link
The rescue dedicates itself to promote humane behaviour towards animals by rescuing German Shepherd (and cross-breed German Shepherd) dogs and puppies and to provide care, treatment and re-homing when appropriate for those unwanted, neglected or in need (due to sickness, poor treatment or ill usage) primarily but not exclusively within Central England.
Our mission is to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare and the prevention of cruelty towards animals and also to advance the public's education in matters of responsible ownership and to actively campaign for the tightening of current laws to stop animal cruelty, puppy farms and indiscriminate breeding.
Our aim is to rescue and rehome unwanted & neglected German Shepherd dogs & puppies in the UK and also to educate the general public on the pitfalls of backyard breeders, puppy farms and “free to a good home” adverts.
Backyard breeding often results in the breeding dogs being kept in intolerable conditions, with many having serious health concerns.
Puppies are often sold without any information taken from the new owner.
Free to a good home adverts – unscrupulous members of the public look for these adverts to use the dogs as bait dogs & breeding dogs.
These dogs sold on free sites can also end up in the hands of pet-peddlers, buy free and sell on for profit. No consideration is made for the dog’s welfare.
CGSR will not be involved in the importation of foreign dogs.
All dogs taken in by CGSR will be micro chipped, flead wormed & vaccinated.
Males (wherever possible) will be castrated prior to rehoming. A castration agreement will be signed by the new owner & CGSR, if not already neutered.
Females will be spayed according to their cycle - spay agreement will be signed by new owner & CGSR.
Adoption fees will be used in the rescue for veterinary treatment, spay, castration and kennel fees.
