Theresa and all. We board for GSD Rescue and I can't tell you how many wonderful GSD'S are in the shelters. We have at least 10 shelter's within driving distance from us. We are over loaded and it IS HEARTBREAKING!! The shelters do NOT care where the dogs come from and they kill them every day. Usually Owner turn in's are killed the same day OR only given one day for adoption. We have actually pulled dogs that were already in the kill room to be euth'd 15 minutes before they killed them. Rescues have very little help and very few donations. We have about 40 of them at OUR kennel right now. I have had many sleepness nights worrying about the one's we can't save. Shelter's ask NO questions and they don't care. THAT IS A FACT. They also get paid for the bodies and cats. I could go on and on, but will save you from that. :( CROSSROAD'S GERMAN SHEPHERDS SIGNER OF THE BREEDER'S CODE _www.sbrgsdc.org_ (http://www.sbrgsdc.org/) _www.coastalgsr.org_ (http://www.coastalgsr.org/) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
