My grateful thanks to the following people who have assisted me in my rescue work.
 Nose to Tail Dog Wash - situated in Bush Rd, Albany have been fantastic in their support to our rescue dogs. As you can imagine the state some of these dogs come into care is absolutely shocking and to be able to use the facilities provided by Kath and her team at Nose to Tail makes this so much easier on ourselves and the dogs. Some have needed extraordinary measures to get them looking anywhere near the magnificent breed they are and the friendly service, always managing to fit us in no matter how busy they are, shows their committement to these unfortunate dogs.
Our adoption numbers now over 270 and about 80% of them being bathed at Nose to Tail. Every single dog that we have taken through there for bathing has had their charges waived. That is fantastic support of German Shepherd Rescue and the dogs that begin their new lives.
I thank you every time Kath but it never seems adequate. You are the best. Your facility is the best, Your staff are the best and our rescue dogs think you are just the greatest.
