DOG lovers enjoyed a festive walk in aid of German Shepherd Rescue South at the Tedworth House polo grounds in Tidworth yesterday (Sunday, December 7).

More than 15 beautiful and handsome Shepherds and Malinois accompanied their owners on a rainy Sunday morning, raising a total of £152.85.

The charity thanked Julie Stoney for her assistance organising the Wiltshire Christmas Social Walk and Lisa Stockley for the amazing Christmas raffle prizes.

GSRS added: “The weather eased off for the walk, then the heavens opened and became frightful! The weather didn’t dampen the Christmas spirit.

“Thank you to the fantastic couple who donated a massive bag of treats, toys and licky mats for our special dogs in kennels and foster care awaiting their forever home.

“Plus, thank you to the ladies who donated food and treats for the dogs in our care.

“And as always, thank you to the Armed Forces Community Hub for your continued support.”

The next Wiltshire New Year walk is scheduled for January 4.
