The more appropriate question is what is wrong with our society where dogs are viewed as commodities. Every shelter across the country is full of purebred and for that matter mixed breeds who's lives are just as important. Every GSD rescue I know has more dogs than they can handle and make great sacrifices to care for the dogs. No matter how many corners you sqeeze GSDs into there will always be another at the shelter and many of the dogs we take in need rehab and extra care before they can be adopted not to mention all those we try to save but who have emotional scars so deep all we can do for them is give them a quick end in loving arms. It is society who is responsible for how dogs are treated in our country and rescues are sure not the reason there are GSDs in shelters. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
