On March 14th we announced the formation of the SUNSHINE SQUAD. A group of people dedicated to raising funds and assisting other GSD owners, breeders and Rescuers inorder to prevent many GSDs from ending up in Rescue or worse yet being euphanized. We currently know of at least 6 families facing these types of problems either due to finances or health problems. For the last several days the Sunshine Squad has been putting together a Great group of dogs for Auction. I would like to thank all of those of you who have already donated. A note to ALL the STUD OWNERS: as you will see at the AUCTION SITE, you as the Owner/Donor can state ANY Bitch/Breeding Requirements (OFA, BC/VC, GSDCA Health Award, Pointed, TC) Our purpose is 2 fold, to raise money for the BREED and to produce some Excellent puppies. We felt and still feel that the members of the showgsd-l and gsds4show ; were the 2 best sites for this type of fundraiser - GSDCA members, show and work breeders and owners. And more coming. Please join us in this annual fundraising event to help your fellow GSD owners and to help keep these dogs out of shelters or rescues. We need to buy time to rehome the rescues we have.
