Volunteering for the rescue is never more rewarding than when we get follow-up stories and pictures from new owners. It's always lovely to see happy, contented dogs being looked after the way dogs should. We hope you enjoy reading our success stories.
Our success stories page was getting very long so we have started a new one, but you call still see all of our success so far, just click the link. See Success Stories 2007-2009.

| Carly has settled in brilliantly, and loves going walks out to the harbour and round the rocks, she loves chasing (never catching) sea birds, and loves playing on the big rock formation at the east of Wick, it's huge, and people picnic on it, but Carly loves getting sprayed from the waves.
She is not impressed with cows, and has staring contests with them every time she sees them! Carly is the perfect addition to our house, and I love having her.

| Kai has a lovely big garden to play in, when he gets too hot he loves to go and lie in the brick garage which has a stone floor and keeps him cool. His new owner is a keen walker and cyclist, he loves to go up north to the Glens and Kai is a perfect buddy to go with him. Kai follows his new owner around the house, a case of 'me and my shadow', typical German Shepherd! |

| This beautiful girl was a much loved pet, but unfortunately her owner's job changed and he could no longer look after her. Zara now has a wonderful new home with a lovely family who think the world of her. She has settled in very quickly and her new owners love taking her for long walks and taking pictures of her! Doesn't she look great with her German Shepherd Rescue Scotland vest on?! |

Storm is a real character. He likes to slide down the stairs on his back laughing and wagging his tail, he discovered how much fun this was when he did it by accident! He loves everything that squeaks, and is constantly running around playing with his big sister, Cassie. He has taught her how to bark, she is 6 years old and never barked at the door until Storm showed her how! He plays with her all day long, they love playing with their tugging rope pulling each other across the floor. He has helped Cassie a lot and she loves looking after him. Storm's new Mum says it's like having two small children in the house again! |

Lovely Kai was in a very happy home where he was looked after very well, you will maybe notice him on our Success Stories 2007-2009 page. Sadly his owner had to give him up, but we found him another home where he has settled in really well, and still loves to play with his ball! |

This lucky boy has acres of land to run around in and as you can see he is making the best of it. He is happily living with a gorgeous Labrador and beautiful white German Shepherd. He likes to give the cats a hard time but they have learned to stay out of his way! |

Mac was a much loved pet and his owner did everything he could to keep him, but in the end sadly had to give him up. The good news is he got a lovely new home with a lovely female GSD called Skye, and as you can see Mac (on the left) and Skye are just made for each other!
Mac is 8 years old but still full of life and has loads of energy, so please don't overlook our Golden Oldies. |

| Kayla had very sore ears when she came into rescue and needed an operation to put them right. After a short while in a foster home she found her forever home where she is very loved and completely spoilt. Just like a GSD should be! |

Duke is fantastic with his owner's horses as you can see, but a day at the horses is exhausting! He had never been around horses before, so it just goes to show what you can achieve with a little time and patience.
Duke loves going in the car, anywhere, even the vets. He goes to training classes for a bit more socialisation as being a GSD he loves sound of his own voice! |

| Scruff was a very sad young dog, he was born in kennels and had lived in kennels all his life. He lived with his mother and when she was re-homed he became very depressed. It was such great news when a family came forward offering Scruff a forever home. As you can see he's a really happy boy now, he gets on great with the cats, the little girl he lives with and a Jack Russell that comes to visit. He loves his walks and playing outside. A very happy ending for Scruff. |

| Jazz was living with a large pack of dogs before she went to stay with her new family. This lucky girl has joined rescue German Shepherds Kee and Sam, and Jake the Bearded Collie. She lives in a fabulous home in the countryside where she gets long walks and lots of play time with her new friends. |

This stunning girl is Roxy, she came into our family in August 2009 and is just a joy. She is great with the kids and my niece and nephew when they visit, she is a lovely gentle girl that just loves company and cuddles.
She is three years younger than her big brother Cal but she's the boss and steals toys and balls from him on a daily basis. She has a comical way of sneaking in and pinching things from under his nose if he looks away for just a second.
She loves her walks and will wait in hiding for Cal to come passed then pounce on him. Everyone that visits thinks she's the prettiest GSD they have ever seen, and I have to agree, but then I'm biased!

Tara was previously known as Po, she was one of the thirteen dogs we helped last year. Just look at her now! Her new family love her to bits, she is part of the family and they couldn't imagine life without her. As you can see she loves the beach, no matter what the weather. While she bounces about on the beach and in the sea, her owners are dressed up like eskimos! But they wouldn't have it any other way! |

Some of you will remember Ty, he had no hair on his tail and it was all sore at the end. Not any more, he is a happy settled boy who is loving life in his new home. We can't thank his new Mum enough for all she has done for him. |
