Poor guy . I hope someone adopts him in time.

[Sudilar]

pupper-lover, it's really not likely. There are just so many on the GSD boards that are posted, but can't be saved. Just this week, some were rescued some were not, but there are two in particular that didn't make it out. It really weighs on my mind. Those faces, the fear.....

I left a message.

Over 10 years ago, on a visit to the local Humane Society, I was told by the head dog keeper that 7 of 10 dogs got adopted, except for the GSD's, which only got adopted at the rate of 3 out of 10.

Due to bad breeders and bad owners, the GSD's have suffered so much - my heart breaks for those pups that deserve so much better.

Awww... he`s so cute!! I wish I could have him!! Hope he finds a good home!!


do you like my signature

What?! Thats where I live. Thats the kill shelter in my town and I'm going to be there tomorrow to meet Tyler's new mom.

Let me see what I can do.

[Sudilar]

Good luck, aly. Is there a GSD rescue there that might take him??

[Karen]

Oh, Aly, please do! At least let them know that people care! That poor dog, it is NOT his fault, but his people's, that he got heartworm.

[aly]

I put in an email to the GSD rescue here and in Houston. I told them I'd take him until we could get a transport going. I also said I'd pay for his medical treatment but it'd be hard for me to take a big dog with health issues long term right now because of my moving situation and all that stuff. I just pray he likes cats and dogs.

[Karen]

Yay! Thank you, Aly! Hope it works out!

[Sudilar]

Thank you, aly!! You are truly an angel. I hope it works, too. He has only till tomorrow (Friday) at noon!


There is Pam in Dallas who volunteered to possibly transport this weekend, if that would help.

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

How come I didn't see this post earlier?!

Aly, you're great for bailing this pooch out! Hurray to you!!!
What about his HW treatment? I am so sad to learn that he has that. Shame on his old family!

Please let me know if I can make a donation to whomever this guy is going to to help him ovecome his HW!

[Sudilar]

aly, did you hear anything definite yet?? Time is of the essence. Please let us know. Good luck. My prayers are with you.

[Sudilar]

Getting nervous. Any news yet, aly??
