For German Shepherd Dogs
About Us
Our Name 'LUOSKO' is deep rooted and is made up of our original dogs back in 2014; LUCCA, OSCAR and RILEY (aka Solophina ASKO) and has since been adopted as the family name and trusted name for training, rehabilitating and re-homing German Shepherds responsibly. After losing LUNA in 2020 we altered it to include both LUCCA & LUNA as the LU as a memorial.
LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue was founded in 2014, initially it was set up as a walking, daycare and boarding service and in 2015 quickly became a small scale all breed rescue. Rescuing dogs of all breeds from around the UK and Europe.

Community Outreach
Educational & Therapy Visits
LUOSKO is dedicated to more than just rescuing and rehoming dogs—we’re committed to building a stronger, more compassionate community through our outreach and education work. We offer engaging educational visits both on-site and at schools and colleges, helping young people learn about responsible pet ownership, animal welfare, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. In addition, our therapy dog visits to residential homes provide comfort, companionship, and emotional support to elderly and vulnerable individuals, bringing joy and connection where it's needed most. Through these initiatives, LUOSKO aims to inspire empathy, promote mental well-being, and foster a deeper understanding of the positive impact dogs can have in all areas of life.
