We are reaching out to everyone who loves GSDs no matter the color. I received a call today from the Geauga County Humane Society Rescue Village in Ohio. This past week they had to do a seizure of 10 white GSDs. These dogs were not abused but apparently the owner just gave up and couldn't care for them. They are in pretty decent shape as far as health goes but they have not been socialized or even walked on a leash. They range in age from 2 to 9 years. I spoke extensively with the behaviorist today and she said they are allowing volunteers to handle them; have shown no resource guarding or growling of any kind. Walking them is a challenge since they have no clue what they are to do. They need experienced foster homes here in the Ohio area. The dog will all be totally vetted. One is totally blind. They have contacted Echo, White Shepherd Club, and American White Shepherd Club and only Echo has responded that they couldn't help. If anyone can help you can contact the Geauga behavior coordinator...her name is Barnee, her number is 440-338-4819 Ext. 43 or you can contact me. At this point, all Weeping Willow can do is network among our GSD family and friends. Their website is geaugahumane.org. They are working on getting them up on the site. Thank you for networking this urgent need. Pat Lukos The Team from Weeping Willow ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
