Could you adopt Skye? Still looking for a new home.

Hi there my name is Skye and I am a gorgeous, and very affectionate black and tan neutered girly who has been looking for a new home for a very, very long time. The ladies at the rescue just can't understand why I am still looking as they say I am a really super girl. The trouble is I don't get on with my GSD sister that I live with and we occasionally grumble at each other in the house. It also makes me very scared of strange dogs in the street and I bark a lot at them too. I know there is someone out there who can help me get over this fear... I just haven't found them yet.

So today I had a good brush, polished my nails and went off for a wee photo shoot. I am very pleased with my new photos as they show me off and let everyone see just how lovely I am. I got to chase a ball which was great fun I am just a big pup at heart, and the photographer kept giving me treats for being good. I will do anything for a treat.

I really would like to find a new place to call home where I can be the only dog. That way you can spoil me with lots of attention all to myself. I love children and live with two small kids at the moment, I am really gentle around them and mum says I am brilliant with them. Oh but I really don't like cats so please don't ask about me if you have one. Have you got a wee bit of time and commitment to put into helping me with my training? I will be the perfect dog for you if you can help me with my fear of other dogs.

Thanks for considering me,

Skye x

Training Your Best Friend

german shepherd training manual

David Dee's training manual includes some of the secrets of "dog whispering" (or "dog listening" as some people call it). We believe this method of training can make a substantial contribution to the control of a dog especially where owners are having difficulties.

David is a UK based trainer. His manual costs $19 and has a 60 day money back guarantee. The rescue receives a donation for every copy sold via our website.

Dog Rescue Federation

German Shepherd Rescue Scotland is a member of the Dog Rescue Federation.

127,000 reasons to change the law. That’s how many stray and abandoned dogs local authorities in the UK rounded up last year. In the same period at least 11,000 perfectly innocent dogs were put to sleep for no other reason than they were not wanted.

ID Tags are Law

Did you know that it is illegal not to have an ID tag on your dog? The Control of Dogs Order 1992 states that all dogs must have identification when in a public place.

All dogs must have a tag with the owner's name, address and telephone number on it.

Any dog seen without a collar in public may be seized by the local authority and treated as a stray. The person in charge of the dog and/or the owner of the dog may be prosecuted and fined.

Athough ID tags are a good way to help you get your dog back if it gets lost, we still recommend you microchip your dog. Dogs Trust are offering a free microchipping service for your dog, for more information click here.

Very Important Alert!

German Shepherd Rescue Scotland DO NOT place ads in GUMTREE, AD TRADER OR ANYWHERE ELSE.

If you see any suspicious listings using pictures of dogs on our site please contact us. We will request that they are removed immediately.

Vets Get Scanning

Bruce Forsyth's Vets Get Scanning Appeal

With your help we can get stolen dogs reunited with their rightful owners. A microchip is useless to a stolen dog unless Vets Get Scanning!

The aim of the Vets Get Scanning appeal is to get all Vets, or their receptionists, to scan all dogs on their books and for Vets to adopt a practice policy where all dogs are routinely scanned on their first visit.

Visit their website and sign the petition http://vetsgetscanning.co.uk/.
