Our thanks today goes to the kind and generous donations sent to us by the family of the late Doreen Chapman who loved her German Shepherd Dogs.

Here is what her family wrote when they donated to us.

"Mum loved all animals from around the world including cats and dogs, especially german shepherd dogs which mum had throughout her life.

Mum also helped when she was younger with a small rescue charity that helped with rabbits and guinea pigs which she enjoyed.

Mum was a lovely lady kind ,considerate and loving who will be greatly missed"

In loving memory of Doreen

Thanks to our good friends and supporters Allan and Claudia Stodghill from Tallahassee, USA and special mention to GSD Ava-Lyn and newly adopted cat Zorro for their wonderful donation to our dogs.  Thanks for always thinking of them from so far away.

Today our kennel dogs received a wonderful food delivery from Craig and Maria Malcolm from the fantastic collection raised in loving memory of Jim Malcolm at his recent funeral.

Thank you for thinking of us at such a difficult time. We are very grateful. Thank You to all of Jims family and friends for their generous donations, Im sure he will be very proud that it has gone to support our dogs x

We were contacted recently by the daughter of Sandra Napier who had sadly passed away. Sandras final wish was that she was remembered at her funeral with a donation to German Shepherd Rescue Scotland. She loved GSDs and we are truly touched that she thought of us. Thanks to Sandra's friends and family for their generous donations. Our dogs are very lucky x

We pause rehoming our dogs in December as the run up to Christmas is often quite chaotic in a home.  We need to place our dogs into new homes without stress so they can decompress and get used to their new surroundings slowly without lots of visitors and festivities that come with all things Christmas.  There may be some exceptional circumstances but on the whole most new homes will need to wait until the new year.

If you are thinking of rehoming from us please submit your form asap so we can home check you before December arrives.

Urgent Foster Home appeal - Yoda

This is 3 year old Yoda, he arrived in our kennels very green. He has has very little training and hasnt been walked before coming in. Now that he has started being walking its become apparent that there is something going on with his front paw and he may need a toe removed to help him.

He is really excitable in the kennels and it isnt a good place for him to be for his safe recovery after an operation. His guts aren't great either but that could just be his over excitement and we are working on fixing this too. He is a really friend boy who is fine with other dogs.

We need a foster home who could help us with this boy. He needs a quiet place to chill, and recover from his op.

No other dogs in the home so he can switch off until he's recovered. The rescue will cover all his bills whilst he is in the foster home.

We need someone around most of the time, they must have a secure and private garden that he can get out into. No kids as we need him calm. His walks will need to be gradual to help build up his muscle tone.

Can you help this lovely boy? Anyone interested will have to go through the normal home checks

Please complete the adoption form and add (Foster) after your name. http://www.german-shepherd-rescue-scotland.org.uk/adoption

Its that time of the year when we get asked what people can donate to help our kennel dogs. We have the usual appeal (as it gets colder and wetter) for nice fluffy vet bed, and we have added lots of different natural treats.

We are restricted to Amazon for our wishlist, but if you know you can get something cheaper elsewhere and wish to send it to us please message the page.

Dont worry that the wish list asks for your address, it will be delivered to us not you!

Thanks as always for your amazing support.
Jaegar, Charlie and Yoda are our featured dogs x

Its the most important date in next years diary.  Our dog show!  Saturday 1st August 2026 at Vogrie Country Park, Near Gorebridge, Midlothian.  An event not to be missed for all breeds and their humans.

Our 2025 Grand Total is in! This year we made a fantastic £10,400

This is amazing and will go a long way to helping our dogs. We rely on donations and fundraising to support our dogs, covering the kennels fees, vet bills,food, training, neutering and equipment that our dogs need.

Our show is our biggest fundraiser of the the year.
We certainly could not do it without you our supporters, with out you and your dogs there would be no show.

Let's not forget how difficult a show is to put together and nexts years show preparations will probably start again tomorrow!

Today our thanks go to many many people who made it possible:
*Our show team who work their socks off
*Our volunteers, friends and family who give up their day to set up and close down the event, run the stalls, show ring and have a go rings.
*To George Bell our compere who is the voice of our show ring and keeps us all entertained
*Our First aider John McCue
*To Simon and his team at K9 Manhunt & Scent Work Scotland and Specialist Search Dogs for their Demo (and arial photos)
*Hertitage vet for coming along as our vets on call and giving out advice
*All our class and ring Sponsors
*All the home bakers - we made a record amount on the baking this year!
*Our stall holders who have returned again and to all the new ones who joined us for the first time.
*To Salt n Peppa Catering - thanks for feeding everyone - You guys are the best!
*Liam from Wild Memories photography who will i'm sure share his creations when he has edited them.
*A special mention to Jane, Jenny & Emerson from Pets at Home Craigleith who worked their socks off all day to help us. (Craigleith is our NEW partnership store)
*And finally Ali Lochhead, Alison Campbell and Iain Butt our judges who definetly had the hardest job of the day.

Im sure you will all agree it was a great day and an even greater result......until next year THANK YOU ALL.

Our thanks goes to the family and friends of the late Stuart William Goode who recently held at collection at Stuarts funeral recently for our rescue dogs.
