More than a dozen German Shepherds and their owners joined a social walk at Tedworth House in Tidworth on February 1, hosted by German Shepherd Rescue South; the event raised £85.48 for the rescue.

More than a dozen German Shepherds and their owners met for a social walk at the grounds of Tedworth House in Tidworth on Sunday, February 1. The event was hosted by German Shepherd Rescue South and took place despite wet weather. Several dogs who attended the group's October walk returned, and organisers noted two appeared noticeably more grown-up. The walk was led by Max, a dog the rescue describes as a success story. Event details: - The walk was organised by German Shepherd Rescue South at Tedworth House, Tidworth, on February 1. - More than a dozen dogs and their owners attended; some were familiar from the October event and two returned noticeably more grown-up. - Max, a rescue success, led the walk. - Senna, surrendered at 23 months after an impulsive purchase as a puppy, has been rehomed with a foster family in Wiltshire after a period without regular walks and socialisation. - Cooper, in the rescue since August 2023 and once unfriendly to other dogs, now joins social walks and has formed a companion dog relationship. - The event raised £85.48 for German Shepherd Rescue South, and organisers thanked volunteers and the Armed Forces Community Hub for use of the grounds. Summary: The walk highlighted progress made by dogs in the rescue's care and supported the group's fundraising; it also brought together volunteers and local supporters. The next social walk is planned for Sunday, March 1 and will include a heritage-trail tour, refreshments and a raffle, and will coincide with Cooper's upcoming seventh birthday; meeting is at the middle car park near the community hub at 9.45am for a 10am start.
