Thank you so much for the generous offer! We know MANY Rescues will be thankful too! Please remember that LHSH is a funding organization only; we do not physically rescue, but rather assist the rescues that are already in place with the horrendous financial burdens they are facing day to day. We also work closely with Timberwolf Organics in hopes of providing food to Rescues and shelters in need. Please watch for a donation coming soon! LHSH will be covering the cost of shipping to strategic areas for disbursal. If you know of a shelter or Rescue in need, please send it to info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for follow up. It is the consistent team effort of our Officers and Board of Directors as well as the many helping hands of volunteers that has brought so many needy GSDs out of hell. As in any organization, change is progress. There will be some additions to LHSH in the coming weeks! Watch for announcements coming soon! Thanks! The Team from LHSH Inc. Dawn Restuccia, Pres.

Speaking of doing and supporting, and something for clubs to think about before their winter and spring specialties, this is just a reminder how regional clubs can help. This coming year instead of buying first place prizes in the classes, we are going to donate the amount to LHSH that we would have spent and let exhibitors know they are helping to support by not feeling offended at not getting prizes. The rescue's will benefit. We still will have the main winners prizes. We only had a raffle table at our conformation show last year and made around $300. for LHSH, so this year we decided to do a raffle at the obedience show too. We are going to make it a 50-50.....half to LHSH, half to the club. Since Royal Canin withdrew support and with entries down, both club and rescue will benefit. We have a new gal doing fundraising who plans to get lots of local donations to raffle, so hopefully everyone will come out ahead.
