Hey Sue, how about THIS one for temptation?? <eg>

[mugsy]

This is Rex, and must be a new arrival at the Brown County Humane Society where we got Pebbles and Dio...what a beauty...all that's mentioned right now is his name, so I have no clue how old he is or anything.

How could anyone have given that boy up? He's gorgeous!

[lizbud]

WOW, This GSD is a gorgeous example of the breed. I think
GSD Rescue would snap him up in a minute, if there was space
available. I would love to know more about his history and
general temperment. Awesome doggie. I'll bet Sue would
love him.

What a gorgeous GSD!

Liz, their website is www.bchumane.org . Unfortunately, BamBam is still there, but they have adopted quite a few I think. Leigh Ann called me today and the message cut off (I guess they were having phone problems) and when I called her back she had gone for the day. I know that Kari (on the site) has been adopted, but that's all the farther I got. I'm sure if you knew of a rescue for him, Leigh Ann would love to know. She is absolutely awesome with that. She would much rather the dog go to rescue and get adopted that way than for her to have to go through the trauma of putting them down. She really works her butt off to get these dogs adopted or into rescue....she works 7 days a week and usually about 10 hours a day either at the shelter or at home on the computer or on the phone with rescues and such. Give her a call. They are closed only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but she is usually there and most of the time answers and if not she always returns messages.

Molly,

I have only found one Indiana GSD rescue site & I think it's
a one or two person setup. I know, I looked around some
after Buddy passed. The Illinois Rescue group that Sue knows
about is more of a tri-state group(more far reaching,more
people involved, I think). It's a shame but I don't know of any
other GSD group here. A lot would depend on his temperment
and past experiences, but many, many people would be
interested in checking him out, I'm sure. People give up dogs
for ALL kinds of reasons & it's most always a "people" problem
not a problem with the dog itself. I sure wish Sue would
see this one & maybe she could let Illinois GSD rescue look at
him, if they have space. I wish Rex all the luck in the world.

now that is one handsome shepherd!

[mugsy]

He definitely is a stunner!!

[lovemyshiba]

What a handsome dog--he looks as good as Dallas, the GSD from the Westminster show!!
I can't imagine giving up any dog, much less one that gorgeous!! I hope he finds a forever home very very soon.

[lovemyshiba]

Oh, Molly I just looked at that website--those dogs are precious!!!

[micki76]

Absolutely stunning dog! I, like everyone else, can't imagine anyone in their right mind letting him go! Good luck to Rex, I feel confident someone will see the beauty. Hopefully he's got a good temperment.

The only problem is that they are a VERY rural shelter, but Leigh Ann does such good work, they have a pretty high turn over. And, yes, they have some real lovers. I think I said this before and if I did, ignore my senior moment, but Kari the Coonhound got adopted this weekend. I am desperately trying to find someone to take BamBam, I think he's been there the longest and may be running out of time. IF nothing else happens, I guess Mike and I will take him, but I would love to find him a home. I emailed Leigh Ann and asked her to email me with more info on Rex and as soon as she does, I'll post it.

WOW!!!!! What a magnificent creature!!!!! How did he get there? He should be adopted in a flash!

He does need to get into rescue. I wish I could foster him, but because of Killian's autoimmune disease attacking him now, I won't be fostering til we get him under control.

I can't ask Marianne to take him into the rescue because she'll ask me to foster him. Also I am supposed to be resigning from that rescue and joining up with my area coordinator starting her own (yippee, didn't I say she should??). The paperwork isn't finished , so we can't take any dogs yet.

Could someone e-mail Marianne with the link to the shelter and if you know the story, you could tell her about him? Maybe if a few of you forward the link to her, she might take notice! I have to stay out of it.

I'll do it Sue, but let me get the info from Leigh Ann first so I have some Ammo!!

[Sudilar]

Thanks, Molly!!!! That will be great. She should be impressed by his beauty!!! I wish I could take him!!!
