...he does not run or bite if you wish to share it!"

On Dec 12th a call came in from an animal services officer to a GSD Rescue
that he needed assistance for a backyard breeder who's dogs were being
seized for neglect. On Dec 13th the dogs were picked up by the rescue and
the animal services officer and taken to the vet for examinations then went
to the rescues home to begin their long term rehab until the judge signed
the transfer of ownership to Rescue. We then had to set up the transport to
bring them here as that rescue was not set up to handle the number or
condition of these dogs.
These were all adult GSD's from approximately 1 to 2 years old for the
younger ones, adults between 3 and 4 and the old girl that is 6 to 8 years
of age.
These dogs weighted in between 35 and 52 pounds, all between 20 & 35 pounds
under weight. In the exam they all had fleas (treated), ear mites (treated)
tapeworms, hookworms, whipworms, roundworms (treated with 3 days of
Panacur), high bacteria (being treated with Flagyl) and heartworm positive.
It took several days of eating multiple small meals for any stools to be
produced. They have received their 1st vaccines and as they improve will
receive another.
These dogs appears to have not had any or very little human contact, the
younger dogs are responding to the attention but the older dogs are slowly
warming up after many hours of sitting on the ground and putting treats
(cooked chicken chunks and cheddar cheese chunks) on our legs for them to
come and get for a touch. Fast movements spook them but they are gaining
confidence, they are not afraid of thunder or fireworks and never once have
attempted to bite anyone with everything they have been thru.
The kennel runs were caked with urine soaked feces, chewed up plastic, wood,
tires, etc. but no food or water was found on the property. There had been
a trailer on the property that was removed & it was that crew that notified
animal services about the dogs.
The dogs are slowly gaining weight, beginning their 2nd round of 3 days of
Panacur, receiving Flagyl and have been treated for fleas. They are
receiving 3 meals a day (a corn, soy & wheat free food plus some raw and
hard boiled eggs) and a bedtime snack of chicken, rice & yogurt. Stools are
finally looking normal and they are slowing down on their eating with the
help of the slow feed bowls and hand feeding.
They have all had a bath which took several rounds of shampoo to get any
suds and we can now see their skin which is beginning to heal.
The two dogs that were in the worst condition are each in a foster home
where they are getting good grocery's, individual care, socialization,
confidence building and lots of TLC.
The owner has warrants out for his arrest for the condition of these dogs
and deceased dogs found on the property.
I do have photos if anyone is interested from the day they were seized to
current ones. Most of the dogs are here with me or my foster homes and the
oldest female is with a rescue volunteer that will give her a forever home.
