The dog in Westside GSD rescue was on his last day. He was too terrified to even walk out of the shelter, so the volunteer in the photo is CARRYING him out. GORGEOUS dog! Baldwin Park shelter in CA is ALWAYS swamped with GSDs...this one looks to be well bred! The one in Yucca Valley was transferred there from another shelter, maybe hoping to buy some time. And the puppy was found in a TRASH CAN....Thanks again to Westside GSD rescue! THIS is what I see every morning. Pepto bismol has become a close friend. If you are a breeder with kennels to spare, PLEASE consider offering to foster for a rescue! Generally they pay for all food and medical care for the dogs. I would like to thank the breeders who HAVE stepped up in so many ways to assist a dog in need! To Sandy and Bob Lindsey for donating videotapes of the National every year...Sue Witmer for taking in an old female whose family had lost their home and allowing her last year here to be one of loving care...and the countless others who in one way or another have been there for us either by phone calls, networking, or donating your precious dollars. If you would like to help Westside Los Angeles rescue with some of their enormous medical costs or maybe have some new items you could donate to their silent auction, please either contact them or LHSH. It takes a village to save a breed.... ours is on the precipice. photos available or check out Westsides website. Dawn Restuccia, Pres.
