One of our awesome supporters Robert Narloch was booked to walk the Glasgow Kiltwalk before it was cancelled this year. He decided to do it anyway and walked 26 miles raising a fantastic £150 for us!

If you are booked to walk the Kiltwalk Dundee it has gone virtual so you can still raise funds for us.

And its not too late to walk the Edinburgh kilt walk on 13th September, and Kiltwalk will add 50% of what you raise to your total. Register here:

Douglas has set up a memorial fundraiser for Nan so that her friends and family and anyone who would like to raise money for a special lady's memory for German Shepherd Rescue Scotland.

"As you all know Nan had a great love for german sheperds and German shepherd rescue scotland was a charity that nan supported in anyway she could. As a lot of people have asked about a collection in Nans memory the family have decided to set up a memorial collection in Nans memory. If you would like to donate it would be much appreciated. Sorry for taking so long to set this collection up we have had problems with another site.

Douglas"

Here is the link to donate:

A very special lady and massive supporter of German Shepherd Rescue Scotland was laid to rest this week. Nan Gardener sadly passed away leaving her beloved Shane to look after husband Dougie.

Nan, Dougie and Shane could always be seen travelling the country visiting our shows and events. This year Nan entered our 2021 calendar competition and Shane was selected as one of our January dogs. Nan passed away the day before the emails went out to tell everyone they had been successful so she never got to find out. We hope that she will be chuffed to know her boy was selected.

She will be missed by all who knew her. The University whom Nan worked for have set up a book of condolence and have a link to our donation page as Nan's final wish. Please sign the book if you knew Nan and pop a donation on in her memory. It would mean the world to the family.

Our thoughts are with Dougie and Shane at this sad time. Sleep tight Nan x

Another amazing show was held this weekend by German Shepherd Lovers West Lothian to raise funds for us. They have made a fantastic £2124 for us. Thank You to each and everyone of the team who made it a super day.

All this fund-raising everyone has done for us recently really takes the pressure off us over the winter months where all our bills increase and the number of dogs finding homes decreases (especially in December when we don't rehome). Our dogs will be cosy this winter.

In Memory of Les Cowan, Les is described by his family as an ardant fan of german Shepherds, owning 3, Jasper, Jake and Rufus. The last of these dogs Les lost several years ago and due to his own ill health he couldn't take on another one, but he surrounded himself in his family's dogs and was happy to help with the family dog sitting.

Les's wish was to have a collection for German Shepherd Rescue Scotland at his funeral and his friends and family have done him proud. We thank you Les and hope you are back together with Jasper, Jake and Rufus by your side

Our thanks again goes to our volunteer, Laura Smeaton and all her friends and family for putting together a fantastic dog show on Sunday and raising an amazing £1365.40 for our rescue. Thanks to everyone who attended on the day and made it such a brilliant day.

Well done Laura x

Thanks to everyone who took part in our auction this year. You helped raise a fantastic amount. Thanks to everyone who donated prizes to us, we certainly couldn't have done it without some fantastic prizes to choose from and bid on.

We are delighted to announce our show fundraising total for 2019. We can not thank everyone who made the show possible enough. To all our volunteers and helpers on the day, to the bakers and donators and to everyone who came along and braved the wettest day of the year you should all be very proud helping us achieve another fantastic total.
