It is nearly impossible to get homeowners insurance with some of the breeds that the insurance companies have targeted. I had to go to the Fair Plan (almost 2,000$ a year) due to the dogs. It is my understanding that if they are coats, you can pass them off as mixes...maybe Collie? Dawn Dawn Restuccia, Pres.

There is an all breed rescue who would be happy to put him into boarding; she only takes in small dogs due to her circumstances. There are TWO gorgeous coated GSDs (2 and 3 years old...bitch and dog) in Dacula Ga area shelter who have no where to turn. Sweet tempered. Would be placed in a HEARTBEAT in the northeast where many are turning to coats due to homeowners insurance issues, but there is no rescue with room to hold them until transport. It is becoming more and more difficult to turn on the computer...too many dogs dying....too many. Dawn Dawn Restuccia, Pres.
