Second-chances for German Shepherds

CARING FOR GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS
	We don't put photos on our website of any of the dogs until they have been successfully rehomed. Most of the German Shepherds that come into the charity are much loved and the families have entrusted them to us to rehome. we understand their loss and because of this we do not show them.
Second Chances have all sorts of German Shepherd dogs to suit everyone's needs: all ages too, from puppies right through to older dogs. All the dogs are handled and assessed and no dogs go into homes with children unless they are used to them.
	We also have lots of dogs to suit the more experienced owner who would want to do agility work. German Shepherds are very intelligent dogs and usually have a high play drive and the more work/training you put in (making it fun), the better your dog becomes.
Training begins in the home - with simple one-word commands you can master with your dog: SIT, STAY, DOWN and STAND. A trained dog is a pet - an untrained dog is an animal!
	There are also older German Shepherds who make wonderful, loyal companions and don't require quite the activities the youngsters do. They usually adjust so easily in a new caring home. Please remember you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
