First of all we would like to say a big thank you to all of our volunteers for their continued support and take this opportunity to welcome all of our new volunteers.

A few months ago we had a glitch on our website and we lost all the images from our in Memory & Success story pages.  If you have a dog who features on one of these pages and can re-send us thier images so it can be added please get intouch

Sadly we have had to make the decision to cancel our summer show at Vogrie. We can't guarantee the venue or the virus will let us go-ahead this year and it takes a massive amount of organising.

We have decided to try and run another online auction to help us raise the much needed funds. Thats where you all come in.

We need prizes!

Can you donate from your business, or have new items lying at home that you no longer want. Are you an artist or photographer , A behaviourist, trainer or groomer or have a hydro pool, or do dog physio/massage and could donate a voucher. Do you have a great prize that we could raise lots of money from. It doesnt have to be dog related, pretty much anything goes ????

Please get intouch if you do and share for us so we can raise a fantastic amount.

2021 show cancelled

Christmas In memory of Kohl

We have a few awesome thank yous to post this week. We will do them one at a time to give them all the credit they deserve. It's fair to say our kennel and foster dogs will be having a very Merry Christmas this year thanks to all the amazing generosity of people. (it will be shared amongst them all)

The first thank you goes to volunteers Derek Adamson and Gail Williamson. They lost their gorgeous boy Kohl (pictured on the canvas so he could be there) suddenly this year. Derek decided to do a Christmas collection for ours dogs in memory of Kohl, and what a memory it was. Look at all these toys and treats, not to mention towels which are really useful at this wet and mucky time of the year!

THANK YOU

Lucky Lucky dogs

Lynn Scott thank you

A massive THANK YOU to Lynn and Andrew Scott and GSDs Zack and Ava for this amazing donation which arrived via Charities Trust. We have a dog that has needed vet treatment recently and another of our dogs who we are supporting with epilepsy medication so this will really help us out.

We have such awesome supporters. We couldn't do it without you x

Thanks To Carrie Eyers and her team from the German Shepherd Family UK facebook group, to everyone who took part in the raffle and to everyone who donated prizes.

German Shepherd Rescue Scotland are really grateful to all of them for our recent donation. Its a really tough time for rescue and we have several dogs in kennels and foster that need our care so this is a fantastic boost.

We are one of 4 GSD rescues across the UK to receive this donation from this group of GSD lovers.

LEO THANKS

Burns Thank You

Our thanks this week goes to Burns pet food who have very generously sent us some food for our kennel and foster dogs.  Its a really difficult time for rescues and this really helps us out.  Our dogs do really well on Burns food so we are delighted with their donation

Thank you Erin

We have a very special thank you to make to 11 year old Erin Donald who sent us in a donation of £75. What a thoughtful girl she is we really appreciate it x

Here is what her Mum sent us "Erin Donald from Balmedie Aberdeenshire donated this money to the rescue from auctioning off some of her German shepherd memorabilia inherited from her granny. She has a massive love of all things German shepherd and currently owns two white shepherds called Olaf and Obi.

At only 11 she has spent the last two years attending German shepherd training with Olaf and her hard work and determination has shown by what a great bond they have.

When she’s older she would like to work with German shepherds and I think she would make a great trainer! She hopes that her money will go towards helping some dogs find new homes.
