Our 'Lifers'
Some dogs cannot be rehomed to the public for various reasons. Since GSRRR has a proud NO-KILL policy, these dogs will spend the rest of their lives at the rescue and are affectionately known as our 'Lifers.'

Lucy does not mix well with other dogs and is our top dog at the rescue. Her dissociative behaviour has been channeled into water sports. As a classic working line, she loves having a job to do guiding and bringing forward dogs that have fearful aggression, showing them how to be calm
Luna suffers greatly from anxiety and as a result of lick mats she was given to entertain her as a pup, she now licks walls and the ground as a coping mechanism. Any form of change is uns
Alfie suffers with his skin. He is our most expensive dog in terms of the medication he is on. He was rehomed but was let down again by humans and therefore will never leave the rescue centre, to risk being let down again.
Roy had a difficult background before coming to GSRRR, he was let down by people which resulted in him showing fearful aggression. Due to his unpredictable nature he will never be able to leave GSRRR but is happy to spend his days with his best friend Luna.
Mac is one of our Lifers and loves to spend his time with Beanie who keeps him in line. Mac is an extremely strong dog and has shown aggression in the past. His unpredictable and aggressive behaviour prevents us from rehoming him. He is a sweet boy and loves the Volunteers.
Beanie is unsuitable for a home environment as she continuosly leaks urine and has done since she was a pup. She was due to be put to sleep because of this issue until GSRRR stepped in. She is a great meeter & greeter dog and keeps the boistrous young males in line.
Bear suffers with anxiety, and this anxiety manifests in the form of spinning and tail grabbing. When Bear first came to GSRRR, she spun everywhere, but thanks to time and patience, and the help of other dogs, Bear is now able to walk about and her periods of spinning are greatly reduced. Bear has suffered enough outside the rescue centre, and she will live out her days with us, where she feels safe and relaxed.
