Rehomeadog~
Vigil GSD Rescue is a registered charity based in Guildford, Surrey. They rehome dogs in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hants, the Home Counties and occasionally further afield, subject to a home checker being available in the area.
Rehoming a rescued dog can be a challenging but extremely rewarding experience for dog lovers, as we ourselves can testify. Blitz was rescued from Vigil over three years ago and has been a genuine pleasure to own. He is usually with us at shows and is the star demo dog for all our clicker products. In August 2003 we we spotted Fin. A few days later we went knocking on Vigil's door for him! He is now with us and making great progress in his training and has just started agility - what a lovely dog.
Being mistreated, or taken from/given up by the owners is very stressful for a dog and can damage their confidence in people severely, but in the right environment, with that special kind of love, understanding, and patience, that confidence and happiness can be restored.
When you see the progress that rescue dogs make after being rehomed, and the devotion that they pay to their new owners, and indeed the sense of achievement that those new owners feel, it is easy to see why people often take on rescue dogs again and again.
