Forwarded information: From: Michelle Werts <michellewerts@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: USAnimalProtect@xxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 21:49:36 -0600 Subject: RE: Puppy mill in southern Missouri I have had an overwhelming response from the GSD community nationwide and I think we have homes for all of the GSDs, just working on transport now. We've taken food and straw down yesterday so the dogs all have food and warm straw this week and we're planning another pull this weekend. May not get all of them out, but we'll probably have another HUGE pull day. I think we've got this about covered now. Money is always needed for vetting and transport help is always appreciated. We've got rescues all over the country ready to take these dogs, some in rescue, some for service, etc. Thanks GSD UPDATE: We pulled 11 GSDs yesterday (adults and pups). Most went to an OK rescue, 3 are at our vet clinic for vetting this week. The three we pulled are all 13 months old, 1 blue female and 2 blk/tan males. If you are interested in adopting from our rescue the adoption fee is $250. If you are a rescue we can transfer to you if you pay the vetting fees. Contact me for details. We are working on another pull for this weekend. If your rescue can take any GSDs please let me know. If you can meet us to pick up dogs, that is most helpful. We can transport to St. Louis or Kansas City, but will have to arrange for transport beyond that point. Donations can be sent to: "Serendipity German Shepherd Dog Rescue" please write "puppy mill" in the memo line send to: Michelle Werts 8500 S Barry Rd Columbia, MO 65201 We will send a receipt to you for tax purposes as we are a 501c3 not-for-profit rescue. Please understand that we are getting 100s of emails each day so we are responding as quickly as possible. If you are responding please make sure to send your complete contact information and location so that we can coordinate our pulls and transports. Thank you.

Colleen Donnelly GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED BETTERMENT REGISTRY The only way to understand & estimate the nature of the dog is to study his whole development. Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von Stephanitz --------------------------------- Find your next car at Yahoo!
