Well it's only 1 day til the Great Texas Hold'Em game and the Quilt Raffle Now as most of you know Georgia is one of the worse kill areas in the Nation, as is most of the South. We need your help, We now have the 3000 sq ft building (former Portable Class Room); now we have to renovate it; new kennel runs, beds, etc. It ain't cheap folks (As those of you who have kennels know). Behlen Kennels 10X5X6 run $339 each. These are 1 5/8" Tube with 10Gauge Welded Mesh Panels. We well also have to do major plumbing but electricity and building are in great shape. A little about our President and CEO. Judge Carla Brown has operated this Rescue for the past 3 years, all this time funding it herself, except what she could beg or borrow from friends, Vets, Last Hope Safe HavenSales Reps, Last Hope Safe Haven, etc. Last year she rescued and found homes for 84 dogs, mostly GSDs. Her and her husband Butch Conway (Sheriff Gwinnett County Ga), own a horse farm, which is the location of the rescue, she has a full time asst who takes care of the horses and dogs (great deal for us). They rescue, house, retrain and socialize EVERY dog that comes into the facility. Her husband also runs 2nd Chance at the county jail (rescue dog training program for prisoners) In these uncertain times, we are seeing more and more owner turn-ins. We rescued 6 last week. These dogs may be with us for 2-10 weeks depending on socialization and health. Heart worm is horrible here. These dogs may be adopted here or as far away as the New England states. Please check out the site in my signature - we accept Pay Pal, Checks, or cash. We need the help of every GSD owner in the country, whether a member of the PC or simply a proud owner of a GSD. If you are near Atlanta, come play some Cards. guarantee good food and great fun; who knows, maybe Carla will bring her SchH III with her. a great representative of the breed. Thanks to all of you who have already bought tickets on the quilt, thanks again Pat Evans for the wonderful donation, it is beautiful. How about a pic of Bullwinkle on the next one, he,he.
