Slinky is a striking 11-month-old German Shepherd with the heart of a survivor and the soul of a loyal companion. Looking for an experienced home or foster-to-adopt.

Currently in foster in Guildford (GU4). She is smart, sensitive, and has come an incredibly long way. Now ready to move forward into a forever home where she can continue to thrive and blossom.

Highlights

SIZE: Medium-large
SPAYED/NEUTERED: Not yet (Rescue will arrange)
CHARACTER HIGHLIGHTS: Intelligent, Loyal, Sensitive, Affectionate
DOGS: Can live with confident, friendly dogs of similar size
CATS: No

Rescue Story:
Slinky was rescued after months of neglect along with two other shepherds. Hungry, scared, and abandoned, she survived by sheer will. She was very cautious but has gradually learned to trust people again thanks to her foster carer.

Detailed Information:
Slinky is intelligent and loyal but a little stubborn. She needs an experienced handler to continue her progress. She’s affectionate once she feels safe and enjoys play and walks.

Slinky requires a structured routine with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. She can live alone or with a confident, active dog of similar size. Not suitable for cats, small animals, or small children.

Ideal Home:
An adult-only household experienced with shepherd breeds, with a secure garden and time to dedicate to her training and exercise needs.

Health Information:
Slinky is healthy, microchipped, up to date with vaccines, and not yet spayed (Rescue will contribute). All dogs are C.Brucella tested before the trip (owners receive a licensed lab test certificate).

RBU, post-adoption support, and 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance provided upon adoption.

Paws Help

Paws Help is a foster-based British rescue (Registered Charity Number 1209924) dedicated to helping UK-surrendered dogs, as well as dogs from the war-torn Ukraine and some Eastern European countries. We rehome dogs across Britain, giving every dog the chance of a safe and loving future.

All funds received by Paws Help, including adoption fees, go directly towards the rescue and care of dogs in need. No admin costs, no salaries are taken by our team, as the charity is staffed entirely by volunteers.

All dogs receive a health check, are neutered (age permitting), microchipped, vaccinated, and—if coming from overseas—tested for C. Brucella before travel. We provide Rescue Back-Up (RBU), post-adoption support, and 4 weeks of free insurance with every adoption.

An adoption fee and home check apply.

Most dogs are offered under a foster-to-adopt arrangement—a trial period of up to two weeks—so there is no need to pay the full adoption fee upfront.
