Be thankful you don't do Lab or Golden rescue!! Down here in the south "hounds" (especially 'beagles' ) are right up there in the top 5 too.... uggh I can understand the occassional turn of bad luck that might necessitate putting an animal in a shelter, but most of the time the excuses are very, very flimsy. I HAVE lived out of my car to keep from giving up my dogs.... but I guess I am just a bit different than most. You CAN find pet friendly rentals, it just takes a bit of work to find them. Work that people "can't" do... or rather can't be BOTHERED to do. And Evan... the more I do rescue the LESS I like people!

I put that title line so that everyone would see it and read it...I know sometimes people delete my rescue posts...and this was one that I didnt want anyone to miss. As far as I am concerned, ANY GSD in a kill facility is one too many!!! Anyone wishing to know that whole truth about the nightmare our dogs are facing only needs to ask me.
