Meet Stephen the Shepherd
Hi! I’m Stephen, a confident, energetic, friendly and playful boy looking for a home.
As you may have noticed, I’m not the kind of rescue dog you typically find at Soi Dog. While most of my shelter mates are mixed breeds, I’m a fully fledged German Shepherd.
I was rescued after suffering abuse and neglect at the hands of my previous owner. I didn’t deserve what happened to me – but despite it all, I’ve held onto my good nature and trust in people. Since recovering from my ordeal, I’ve become something of a favourite among the volunteers here!
True to my breed, I’m intelligent, loyal and full of energy and confidence. I love splashing in the pool, chasing the water hose and generally making a big, joyful mess when water is involved. I also have a serious soft spot for tennis balls (though be warned – I tend to chew right through them!)
What I’m looking for now is a family who can give me the love, exercise and mental stimulation I thrive on. A home with no cats, plenty of space to play and someone who understands the needs of a Shepherd like me would be ideal. Can you show me what a true loving family feels like?
THE ADOPTION PROCESS
Adopting from Soi Dog Foundation is one of the most effective ways to support our work, as each adoption creates the space we need to help another animal in need. It is also incredibly rewarding to give an animal the chance to experience the love and security they so desperately deserve.
