I don't think anyone is blaming the breeder since the dog was not in her
possession but as a breeder she is doing the right thing. The blame IMHO
goes to the person who turned the dog in and did not contact the breeder.
As a breeder, most of us have very explicit contracts but it is sometimes
only in situations such as this that a breeder finds out about a dog she
bred.
This is at least the 3rd show dog that Last Hope has found in kill shelters
in just a few months. The one show dog is still under the care and
protection of a Last Hope member.
We all know that the GSD is landing in kill shelters faster than we want to
admit. Dawn and her team work at times from "dawn" to dusk and weekends for
this breed. If we aren't pulling dogs on weekends, we are transporting them
to safe havens, networking, and others of us are fundraising for every event
we can to pull in funds to continue our work.
When I was working for Last Hope at the GL futurity in the monsoons last
week, I can't tell you how many people from this show list came up and gave
me encouraging words and donated for the auction. It was a great way to
meet some new friends. I don't know if many people realize how much that
means....many said that they didn't know how we did it (and we can't explain
how we do it sometimes *grin*); on another note, there were people that
turned a blind eye to our efforts and it is very sad to see this because we
are to be the Guardians of the Breed.
