Rescue Scottish Pets website comes to an end...

After 15 years Rescue Scottish Pets has closed down

I want to thank all the shelters who used my website in the last 15 years. To hear the stories of how Rescue Scottish Pets has helped rehome so many dogs, putting would-be rescuers in touch with shelters and pets in need, makes every day of it worth it. To those reading this, please continue to support the shelters in Scotland. You can see a list of them on the right, and some in the banners below. They do amazing work, against all the odds at great cost and time to themselves. Please consider donating to any of these charities and remember always rescue :)

On a personal note, it was an amazing experience to write the whole website front and back ends of it. So much code, design and bugs! I learnt a lot and was super happy so many shelters used Rescue Scottish Pets. However, 15 years ago making a website was hard, and social media business pages did not exist or were not well known. Rescue Scottish Pets helped fill that gap and give shelters and rescuers one place to post and find pets in need. As time has gone on and social media the norm, and making websites very easy comparatively, this sites strength and value diminishes. My own skills, time and life have changed also. I never thought it would last 15 years but here we are.

So, I leave you with the dog that inspired it all. My first rescue dog, Paddy. Also gone from us now, never does he stray from my heart
