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.
Hope is in foster care in the Glasgow area. Looking good after a bath and a vet check.
Gem is in foster care in the Glasgow area. Looking relaxed and happy after a bath and a vet check.
Faith is in foster care in the Glasgow area. She loves to play with toys.
Pearl still needs a foster family. She doesn't like other dogs. Please help.
Quella (now called Ellie) is in foster
care in the Edinburgh area.
Quella looking much happier after just one week in foster care.
Quanda is in foster care in South Lanarkshire.
Vegal has found her forever home.
Elsa is in her forever home. A big thank you to her new family.
Pippy (Po) is in foster care. She has some health issues but is getting the treatment she needs.
Harley has found his forever home.
Prema is in foster care in the Stirling area.
Micca is in foster care in the Stirling area.
Zena is in foster care in the South Lanarkshire area.
Please help us care for these dogs. Some of them will require vet treatment.

Training Your Best Friend We have been contacted by David Dee, author of a training manual that 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. For more information click the link below.
Do you have an old kennel or dog run in the back garden that you don't need anymore? The rescue are looking for kennels to provide temporary accommodation in emergency siuations or as short term solutions while new homes are found.
