I want to tell you of a German Shepherd in need at the Washington County Humane Society just south of Pittsburgh, Pa. I went out yesterday to check him out and he is a beauty! Pure bred, young sable, beautiful strong head and ears, good size and weight, great temperament, and neutered. No background or breeder because he was found tied to their van when they opened on Sat. morning. Only problem I can see is he is UNTRAINED. I walked him(very strong) and it was difficult to work with him because he was totally distracted by the dogs, noise, smells, etc. Finally managed to get him to sit several times(liver helped). I feel he would make a good service dog or even a family pet but he needs lots of training and he won't get it there. They have no "quiet place" to work. I'm afraid he'll never be adoped as he is now and at some point he will be put down because they are filled to capacity. If anyone could foster and train, I would be willing to pick up and deliver. He has a lot of potential, he showed no resentment to corrections, greeted everyone with tail wagging and wanted to jump up to say Hi. He is a product of his upbringing and deserves a chance to live. Please contact me is you can help or if you know of anyone who can. Thanks, Arlene Henderson gsdhouse@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
