I received an email late last night that Bashful has found his forever home! Someone actually saw through all of his issues and wanted to offer this boy a lifetime of love! We are SO happy for him.....dogs with movement issues such as Bashful displayed are not easy to place. People fear its "that thing with their hips" and its hard to help them understand otherwise. Shebas dad became mentally and physically unable to care for her, and so surrendered her to the local animal shelter in Mansfield Mass. Sheba had lived her whole life with this person and now at the tender age of 11, found herself in a shelter setting....the workers said that they had never heard such a plaintive cry from a dog when Sheba's master walked away. Two days later, he returned, stating that he could not live without his beloved dog...only to again...surrender her 48 hours later. A foster home was found for Sheba, but these were not GSD people and did not realize that you cant just open a door and let the dog out to run...no matter how many acres you have ...when none if it is fenced. Sheba got into a spat with another dog and so the foster family decided she had to go...so....BACK to the shelter she went. If you can offer this dog a place in the sun to live out the rest of her life, LHSH will cover her expenses. Sheba does not care for other dogs; probably had never been around them so she would need a yard of her own. This dog deserves better than what has been dealt her. I can be reached by phone at 617 538 4393 regarding her....we want to move her out of there quickly as she is becoming depressed. Its a long ride to the Sanctuary in SC and I feel at her age, the drastic change in temperature would not be good for her. Dawn Restuccia Dawn Restuccia, Pres.
