Thank You to volunteer William Patterson and to members of the East Neuk Wobblers Trials Club who held a trial at the weekend to raise funds for us. They made another fantastic £280 which brings their grand total for this year up to an amazing £770

Not forgetting to mention rescue dogs Diesel on tyre checking duties for the day and Kaia supervising the water obstacles (her favourite place to be)

We would like to say a special thank you to our friends in Tellahassee, USA who sent us a wonderful donation this week for our kennel dogs. Thank you Alan, Claudia and GSD Shiloh for thinking of our dogs and supporting us here is Scotland x

The family of the late Jessie Mowbray today presented us with a cheque from donations that were generously collected at her recent funeral. Jessie was truly devoted to the breed and I am sure will be missed by everyone who knew her. Our dogs will benefit from this thoughtful donation and I am sure Jessie will be pleased it has come our way.

Here is what her family has said about Jessie:

In memory of Jessie D L Mowbray 1933-2018

"For nearly 60 years Jessie owned, bred, showed and judged German Shepherd Dogs. At the age of 14 she handled her first one and over the next 50 years continued to show them with some success.

Along with her late husband Johnny, she was a member of, and leading light in, numerous GSD Clubs and Advisory Groups.

She judged throughout the UK at all level of dog shows, culminating in an invite to judge GSDs at Crufts in 2010. Unfortunately she had to withdraw from this appointment due to her declining health.

In 2011 she received the GSD Breed Council’s Gold Medal for Services to the Breed, becoming the first woman in Scotland to receive this accolade.

She also had a keen interest in the welfare of the Breed and for this reason her son William felt it would be a fitting tribute to her memory to have a collection at her funeral for this Rescue Service. A substantial amount was raised, which is being split between the Rescue Service and another charity."

Thanks to Carrie Southern Photography. We received £200 from her Catchathon photoshoot held last weekend to raise funds for us.

What a brilliant idea and we are delighted to have been the chosen charity. Thank you

We are humbled today to have received a donation of £250. This donation was collected at the funeral of Rab Kelly who sadly passed away recently. Rab told his wife Debbie and Daughter Robyn that his final wish was that money be collected in his memory for GSRS (and another charity). His family will be looked after by his loyal GSDs Hank and Flo.

Our condolences go to Debbie and Robyn at this sad time, be rest assured our kennel dogs will be looked after this winter thanks to Rab x
