Adopt Bodie

German Shepherd · Male

He's an energetic, vocal lad that needs a calm confident owner. Bodie can get over- stimulated when meeting other dogs especially if they are high energy. He can walk nicely with a calm Labrador & greeted medium sized dogs without issue. He does shout at dogs if he sees them playing - no aggression just frustration & lack of social manners. Squirrels however are a totally different matter! Bodie does have prey drive for small fast moving creatures - so we will not home him with cats. As he's a bit boisterous and has no spacial awareness (normal young male shep) we will not place him with very young children. Bodie has greeted everybody he's met with wags. He was underweight with muscle wastage on intake. His vaccinations will be restarted now hess healthy. He has been flead & wormed. Bodie will go out on a neutering contract. Please feel free to fill out our Adoption Form if you would like to register an interest in any of our dogs or donate via PayPay to help towards their upkeep.

About Bodie

What life with Bodie looks like

Bodie is a small adult german shepherd dog waiting at CGSR — Caring for German Shepherd Rescue in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bodie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bodie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. CGSR — Caring for German Shepherd Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bodie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bodie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — CGSR — Caring for German Shepherd Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bodie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bodie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with CGSR — Caring for German Shepherd Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bodie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
