Hello! This is a bit off topic but maybe not since it would benefit 4 Paws and we do use German Shepherds in our program, in fact we have used some donated by people on this list! I was nominated for the Volvo For Life Award this year by many of the clients of 4 Paws. They have picked their top 5 hero's from each state and yes, I am a winner!!!!!!!! It is really an honor in and of itself but I am asking now that you help my agency, 4 Paws! This award works like the American Idol show. America will decide who wins the 3 donations of $50,000 and the 6 donations of $25,000 to the charity of the winners choice. Everyone who would like to see 4 Paws get this money needs to VOTE and VOTE and VOTE and get everyone you know to vote and ask them to get everyone they know to vote. Not sure what 4 Paws is? We train service dogs for disabled kids and adults _http://4pawsforability.org_ (http://4pawsforability.org) That being said this is what you can do to help.........................
