WaGRRS was founded by David Pitbladdo in February 2025.

David has worked alongside dogs for over 30 years professionally on and off, alongside working self employed as a Joiner. He decided to jump in with two feet with the rescue after getting back into beating/shooting and hearing of peoples struggles in the area with some of their dogs and offering a helping hand.

Since February 25 the rescue has taken in a staggering 21 dogs (April 26), with dogs now ready to start taking the next leg of their journeys

For WaGRRS to have a dog surrendered to the rescue we now operate on a vet referral basis.

We take on dogs of the working and gundog breeds, from Teckles to German Shepherds.

The dogs brought into the rescue are ones that are presenting with serious behavioural issues with the owners going down every avenue possible to rectify the problems and euthanasiais becoming the only option.

We do not use foster homes or kennels. These dogs are brought into a home environment amongst other current rescue dogs and our own.
