In Tribute

We remember our faithful German Shepherd Dogs who are no longer at our sides, as well as those who have loved them.

This is a place to offer tribute to the German Shepherd Dogs who are or have been important parts of our lives and the people who have been friends to Shepherds. We welcome postings including dog or friend’s name, your name (or “anonymous”), and a contribution to GSRNC. If you have a memorial page on the Web to your German Shepherd or Friend, we can link to it from here; just let us know the URL. If you wish to include a photo with your posting, please email us a jpeg photo file.  Please send all text, photos and URL links to: webmaster@gsrnc.org.

You can now donate on-line by clicking on the button below, and enter a donation amount (minimum of $25 please) for each In Tribute posting. At the top of the Second PayPal page, in the “Add Your Tribute Here” box, enter your “In Tribute” message, or any other special instructions to GSRNC.
