Looks like its time for me to weigh in on this and put this to bed. As someone
so succinctly put it, "its all about the dogs"...and to that point, it behooves
us to address our concerns in a more constructive manner.
LHSH has been privileged to have assisted more than 350 GSDs on to new lives.
Out of that number, I can tell you that no more than 5% were dogs that were at
least 50% GSD; most were higher. If anyone is interested, I am sure I can take
the two or three hours to wade through the various photos and get a specific
number. That would be two or three hours of my time that is not being spent
sending introduction letters, letters to organizations for grants, doing the
mountain of paperwork that it takes to keep a national organization running,
checking back with the many Rescues who have assisted GSDs to see how they are
going, replying to my twentysomething other Rescue lists in the hopes of not
letting a GSD slip through the cracks, trying to locate trainers to donate
time, etc. As I earlier indicated, having volunteers who are able to go to the
shelter to physically attest to a dogs lineage would be MOST helpful and LHSH
would be extremely grateful to anyone
who would volunteer for this difficult task. When a dog is commited to by a
Rescue that LHSH has agreed to fund and he/she arrives on the transport only to
find that it is NOT Rin Tin Tin, but maybe his second cousin...what would you
have us do? Tell them to drop him/her off at the nearest shelter? Not only
would this be inherently CRUEL, but LHSH would loose ANY credibility with the
Rescue world...We are already treading on VERY uncharted territory as most of
us on the BOD are breeders or exhibitors. I have spent untold hours trying to
explain our mission to literally HUNDREDS of all breed Rescues who look at us
with a VERY untrusting eye as it is! Add to that trying to explaining to the
average Rescue that that committed to the dog in the first place "Oh
sorry...its not a PUREBRED GSD after all...we dont want to assis after
all"....How many all breed rescues do you think would be willing to take on the
NEXT purebred GSD who was in crisis? There
are NOT enough breed specific Rescues to help them all. We do our VERY best to
limit our assistance to purebred GSDs only.
I agree that if someone on the list is dissatisfied with something we have
done, please take it private or post the entirety of the complaint and the
issues involved. Remember; there are always two sides to a story.
Now, lets get on to something more constructive shall we??? As we sit debating
this issue, purebred GSDs are dying. Anyone interested can go to
Germanshepherds.com and see some of the faces who are hoping for a second
chance. Thanks.

I just LOVE this List - everyone just turns things around to suit their own
agenda. I have no question - did I say I had a question ????????
