This handsome young man is 5 year old neutered Trevor. This poor lad has been from pillar to post in his short life. He originally lived on a farm with his first owners and their young children but was given no socialisation with the outside world. He was often shut away in a small cage in an empty room and was given very little exercise. When their relationship broke down he was re-homed to a couple with no GSD experience. They thought it was best to keep him on the lead and muzzled at all times. He had no leadership which left him confused and feeling he had to look after them. This worried them more as they thought he was showing aggression towards strangers, and so the vicious cycle continued. When he was met by our volunteer he was showing severe signs of nervous aggression but he has never actually hurt anyone.
Trevor went into kennels and has been there for many, many months and is desperate for a home to call his own. On arrival at the kennels he was terrified, but with gentle and patient persuasion he has learnt to trust people again and realises he does not have to lead and it is actually quite fun to have someone else do that job for him. He had been taking part in the obedience classes run at the kennels and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Trevor is now in foster in Surrey where he has been great with foster mum's dogs and just wants to play. He has bonded very quickly and has been very obedient. He is protective with new people but after the initial introduction soon settles for a fuss.
Trevor just needs a calm and confident, experienced GSD home to continue building his belief in people and re-socialise him with the world outside a kennel environment. This handsome man will become your loyal friend for life.
