Kye

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 4 years

Introducing the wonderful Kye a 4 year old German Shepherd girl who is now ready to find a shepherd experienced home. Kye joined us having been abandoned in a lay by close to our kennels back in February 2024. Naturally she was not for leaving the place she was left and was sadly waiting for them to return. They had no intention. We were called to assist to secure her and thankfully with a little time, patience and not pushing her we were able to leash her and contain her in the van. Kye naturally bonded with Lisa very quickly. As a Shepherd owner Lisa was confident in her handling and as a Shepherd Kye recognised that. She was however upset and confused understandably at everyone and everything else. Now Kye loves people. She is getting more and more affectionate and silly by the day. The whole kennels team are now play-bowed bounced on and smothered with hugs and kisses. She now ignores strangers welcomed onto the yard but will as is natural still bark at unannounced visitors coming to the gate. Kye is very much a people dog. She is not keen on other dogs and due to this will need to be the only pet in the home. When she first landed she would lunge and bark at other dogs out on walks but now she can walk close to them and chooses to ignore them and focus on her walker. She is turning into a pleasure to take out. Kye came in weighing just under 28kg and is now back up to perfect weight. We currently have her on Dechra hypoallergenic and this seems to really suit her albeit it isn’t a cheap purchase. With time in a home a sensible fish diet may be able to be introduced. Kye really does need an understanding experienced Shepherd home with everyone teenage and above. A home where ideally someone is around all or most of the time especially in the beginning. Being a Shepherd she is driven to want to be with her owners and could be a risk of separation anxiety but we feel sensibly settled working alongside ourselves she could learn to be left for a couple of hours in time. She is not small furry or cat safe. All in all Kye is a typical young Shepherd female, loyal, strong willed, busy and smart. In the right hands this young girl will be an absolute darling with some work. Kye is vaccinated, kc vaccinated, de flead, de wormed, microchipped, spayed and has received a dental. Kye is currently located in Stoke-on-Trent and anyone wishing to offer her a home must be willing to travel to meet her with all immediate members of the family.

About Kye

What life with Kye looks like

Kye is a small adult german shepherd dog waiting at Greyhound Gap 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 Kye, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kye?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Greyhound Gap handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kye on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kye if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Greyhound Gap 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 Kye 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 Kye 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 Greyhound Gap early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kye 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.
