Sussex German Shepherd Rescue incorporating Northampton GSD Rescue

Hello from deepest, darkest Kent,

I thought it time to post here as I have been hovering and reading the wealth of information on here.

I'm Tom and I hope very soon to be able to have one of your rescue dogs, I'm so pleased to have found this site and after speaking with Ron, to meet people who really care about these lovely dogs.

I started looking for a dog as my daughter really wants one and that awakened the thought that I have always wanted one, but for various reasons, time and space etc. have never done so. I have looked before but never been inclined to progress anything with what I refer to as puppy factories, otherwise known as greedy breeders, Money was not the objection, it was the fact that they churn them out with no regard for the dogs, just how much they can make out of it and with no regard as to where the dog ends up and what happens to it.
I say I'm happy to find this site, yes I am, as just a few days ago I spoke with several places involved with small animal re-homing and to be honest was met with such a negative attitude I could not believe it, speaking with Ron was like a breath of fresh air.

Any way, back to now, time is right we have the time, space and the wish to have a new member of our family and I hope it can happen. The family I hope will not be too much of a challenge for the dog, it's me, the wife, daughter, 3 big Andalusians and a Welsh pony all wrapped up in a lovely big, private playground.

I hope this to be the start of a wonderful journey.

Tom

PS, I hope I haven't put my foot in it with the comments about the breeders, if so I apologise
