The following is a poem that appears on the GSRNE site regarding a 14 year old GSD that was found wandering the streets of Rhode Island during Christmas. As a last ditch effort, the ACO contacted GSRNE who came to her aide. This story showcases what the Rescues do each and every day....give their heart, their time, their money, and their blood to salvage that which society has deemed "unadoptable"....we can do no less than give them our support and our undying gratitude for miracles that they are able to accomplish on a shoestring. http://www.gsrne.org/poems/one_by_one.htm Elsa is a Senior owner turn in who was left in a shelter in Appomattox County Virginia. Her sweet and loving disposition belies her horrific condition; weighing no more than 40 pounds and severe ear infections in both ears. Karin Baldwin (our VP) picked her up and transported her to the Veterinarian this morning. She will be treated through The Diesel Fund, and then need a good foster or forever home. If you can find it in your heart to help Elsa find HER way home, PLEASE contact Karin Baldwin at mkbaldwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx The Diesel Fund is supported entirely by Katherine Nall and her husband from Michigan, and we are very grateful for their generosity! If you would like to donate to Elsa's care, please contact Karin and she will be able to give you the veterinarian information. Thank you!!!!
