Welcome to the website of German Shepherd Rescue Scotland. Whether you have decided to adopt a German Shepherd, re-home your German Shepherd or you would like to become a volunteer, we hope you enjoy browsing our site.

We have included some helpful information and advice, as well as a gallery of beautiful German Shepherds, most of them rescue dogs. If there is something you would like to see included on the site please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

The website is regularly updated, so please keep checking back.

We are organising an Adopters' Open Day at the Rescue's foster kennels in Midlothian on Sunday the 15th of July.

The day is open to ADULTS ONLY - NO CHILDREN AND NO DOGS.

We have lots of lovely dogs in the kennels who want nothing more than a home to call their own.

You do not need to have passed a home-check to attend the Adopter's Day, but you do need to meet our re-homing requirements. You will be home-checked if you are interested in adopting any of the dogs available.

This is an INVITATION ONLY event. If you meet the re-homing requirements please fill in an Adoption Form and add 'Invite Request' beside your name, one of our volunteers will give you a call to discuss your application and confirm your invite.

Some of the dogs in the foster kennels have been there a long time. People overlook them because they think there is something wrong with them, THERE ISN'T.

For more details contact Liz on 01738 710111.

Light refreshments will be available.

Our Friends Dog Rescue in Romania is in crisis they need to move 300+ the dogs from their current location by June 2012 otherwise the Dog Catchers will enter the shelter and take the dogs to the KILLING POUND. Humane Euthanasia is not an option in Romania and the dogs at the killing pound are starved to death, electrocuted and worse.

They have found new land and need to raise £16,500 to secure it and complete the move. If they can achieve this they can save the dogs and continue the fantastic work of the shelter.

For more information and to donate please visit their website www.ourfriendsdogrescue.org.uk.

This is a very special story with at last a happy ending.

Corder came into rescue in 2010, he's so gorgeous that he found a home very quickly but sadly he was a handful for his new owner and kept jumping over the 6 foot fence, so after a few months he came back into rescue again and into kennels.

The months went on and no one showed any interest in Corder. The kennels staff loved him but he could be a little unpredicatable with other dogs, and he had severe separation anxiety. Despite the rescue's best efforts he was overlooked time and time again, we can only imagine the separation anxiety was putting people off.

November 2011, Corder had now been in kennels over a year, why would no one give this boy a chance?
