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.

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

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.

 German Shepherd Rescue Scotland just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at German Shepherd Family UK (facebook group) for the calendar donation money. It has been a tough year for rescue and this will go along way to helping the dogs we have in foster and kennels that you can see here.

We are truly grateful for your generosity and the efforts of the admin team for organising and creating the calendars. Thank You GSRS x

As we wait for the judges decisions to come in for each class we thought you would like to hear the total raised. We made a fantastic £2422.24 (this includes gift aid)

A massive THANK YOU to Claire Martin and Allan Borthwick for helping out behind the scenes uploading all your images to the correct place.

And another THANK YOU to our show sponsors who not only donated, but have the painstaking job of selecting the winners for each class.

From all at German Shepherd Rescue Scotland we appreciate it.

Massive Thank You to all the Team Pets at Home Wishaw for a fantastic £500 donation from the summer Save our Rescue Centres campaign. We are extremely grateful to them for supporting us. We would normally be in store with the team promoting our rescue but due to Covid restrictions we could not attend.

Thank you to David Hazell one of our dedicated supporters who recently did the facebook press up challenge and raised £60 for our dogs. Great effort we really appreciate it.

If you would like to raise funds for us in a similar way then we would be delighted to promote your efforts to help you raise more. Please get intouch if you can help us.

Wow massive shout out for our volunteer Gail and her 3 gsds Hunter, Diesel and Kohl for an awesome effort in the misserable weather on Sunday 21 June. They walked 10 miles to raise a superb amount of money, £770 (incl gift aid) for us during a really tough period x Thanks Team we appreciate your efforts xx

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"

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
