Grommit in MI


**Foster home still needed.**

Grommit needs a foster experienced with English Shepherds. He is a big boy- 70 lbs. Purebred. 3 years old. Neutered. Healthy. Well behaved in the house. He was crate trained. Grommit has had a good life with no trauma and is loved. 

Grommit has lived with dogs. He is tolerant of them but very rough and dominant in play. He should not be with cats, he will chase and grab them.

He is very enthusiastically friendly to visitors, likes being petted. No experience with town life. He is a true English Shadow, completely devoted to his owner, wants to be with her constantly and follows her everywhere. He is a happy dog, full of energy.

Described as a great dog but bossy and protective of his owner.
 He did attend 4H classes with a ten year old child and did well. Since then, Grommit has trouble with recall when distracted. He does not stay on command.

He would be ok with dog savvy children age ten or older. His owner does not trust him around younger children due to his high prey drive. That is why he is being rehomed.

He needs a suitable outlet for his energy with someone who is able to firmly and capably manage his prey drive and who is willing and able to work with him to improve his obedience.

If you would like to foster Grommit, please fill out this application:

NESR Dogs in Foster
These dogs are in foster care with NESR but are not yet ready for adoption.  We hope this allows you to follow the progress of these dogs as they prepare to move toward adoption.

 

Annie in VT


NESR Annie is a 6 year old Border Collie who is much more ESy than her intensely focused, high speed relatives.  She’s a very sweet natured dog who was rescued from a rough situation and it will be a couple months before she’ll be ready for adoption.  Right now she is super shy with humans, a little chubby (53 pounds, should be 45 or so), and very curious (but still hesitant) about toys and treats. She gets along well with her new “brothers” and watches them closely trying to figure out how dogs & humans can get along.  She isn’t convinced yet, but she has started carefully taking bits of roast beef from patient people.  She walks very well on leash, has been very good about getting all the mats and other stuff brushed out of her coat, hasn’t had an accident after the first two nights, and has never barked at all in the time she’s been here.

She’s getting spayed in a couple weeks. Our goals after that are for her to continue to learn to trust humans.

If you would like to know more about Annie, please contact jan@caledoniamission.org  Please put NESR Annie in the subject line.

 

 
Owner Referral

Part of our mission is to assist owners of English Shepherds in finding new homes for their dogs when they can no longer take care of them. The following dogs are listed as a service to those who must give up their dogs and prefer not to surrender them to a shelter.

Since we have not seen or evaluated these dogs, we cannot make any representation or take responsibility for any dog's temperament or health. Prospective adopters should contact the owner of a dog directly.

Frankie in CA

With a heavy heart we are looking for a new home for our incredibly loving and snuggly dog,Frankie. He is a gorgeous three-year-old purebred English Shepherd. He gets along great with our other male English Shepherd and does well on leash around other dogs, but he can be reactive with some dogs he does not know off leash.

He is extremely responsive to training and jobs and would make an excellent agility dog or working farm dog with the proper training. He loves nothing more than to snuggle up to his humans.

-Frankie is fully house trained
-Crate Trained
- Takes food and Treats gently

In addition to his many shining qualities he can be reactive with some dogs and does not like to be groomed. He is not suited for a home with kids or teens.

If you would like more information about Frankie, please email moirajack@gmail.com and put Frankie in the subject line.


 

 

Other Rescue Organizations

The following dogs are with other Rescue Organizations and are possibly not English Shepherds but they are English Shepherdish enough to be listed here. All adoptions are handled by the fostering Rescue Group. Please contact them or visit their web sites for more info about these dogs and other fine dogs they have in rescue!


Sunfyre in CA

Sunfyre is not sure about where he is and why. He came in as a stray on 7/31/2026 and it has taken him awhile to relax into the shelter routine. He is an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie/English Shepherd mix who is thought to be 4 years old and not yet neutered. He has a beautiful and soft tri colored long hair coat and big brown eyes!

He is cautious in his kennel but once he is outside, he relaxes and enjoys the sunshine and all the smells! He is shy and a bit anxious but he has really come a long way. He appears more comfortable with women but we are just learning more about him each day. He is sensitive to loud noises and fast movements. He loves to be petted and told he is a Good Boy! He just needs a little time, patience and lots of love for him to blossom!  

We can accommodate out of area adoptions with transport in many circumstances. Sunfyre is located at Animal Friends of the Valleys 33751 Mission Trail, Wildomar, CA 92595  Located of Hwy 15 between Los Angles and San Diego.  For more information please contact Annette Holladay Rescuevolunteer@afv.org



 




 
NESR performs a temperament evaluation on all dogs it is considering bringing into rescue. NESR reserves the right to decline any dog based on the needs/temperament of the dog and the qualifications of foster homes available at the time.
