Dog Rescue Scotland

Welcome

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.

WARNING!!!

Would you leave your dog in a hot oven? Then DON'T leave your dog in a hot car.

Dogs in hot cars are unable to cool themselves. In the heat panting becomes ineffective. Panting is a dog's cooling mechanism.

As their temperature rises the brain temperature rises, then the brain stops functioning and various other organs fail. THIS HAPPENS WITHIN 30 MINUTES.

Please don't make your dog a victim of the heat.

 

URGENT REQUEST FOR FOSTER HOMES

On the 18th of June 2009 we were given TEN German Shepherds to re-home from a breeder who was evicted from his home. The dogs are aged between 4 and 12. They are currently being assessed but seem to have good temperaments and are in reasonably good health.

We desperately need foster homes for these poor dogs. They are not house trained so anyone considering fostering must have time to spend on house training and basic command training.

These dogs have not had a good life. They were kept in appalling conditions. Can you offer them a warm comfortable home? If you can help please contact us.

Update: Soon after receiving the ten German Shepherds we learned of three more. They are currently being cared for by a foster family. In total we were given 15 dogs from the same man. Thirteen German Shepherds, a Collie x and an Akita.

Kee

As many of you already know we had German Shepherd Rescue Scotland calendar for 2009, we would like to do another one for 2010 but this time featuring some of our rescue dogs. So we are starting early and asking you all to send us your pictures, the best 12 will be featured in next year's calendar.

A few rules though!

1. Images must be high quality jpegs.
2. Please don't have the date/time displayed on your images.
3. Other pets can get in on the act, not just your rescue buddy, but no owners!

If you have a picture you would like to send please contact us and we will give you an an email address. The rescue email address can't cope with large attachments.

We look forward to getting your entries!

   

Please fill in our Adoption Form if you would like to give any of our dogs a new home.

Recycle! Look out those old mobile phones! And raise funds for the rescue.

Recycle your used ink cartridges and mobile phones with Reclaim-It. Turn them into funds to help with kennel fees and vet fees.
