I want to thank everyone who wrote me about this SENIOR guy! He is here now and I know he is happy that I rescued him. He wagged his tail when we met and I had tears in my eyes. He tried to jump in my van and I helped him up. Yes, he is dirty and weight isn't too bad, BUT he is FRIENDLY. He talked a little on the way to my house and it sounded SO familiar, I had thought I had a "GHOST" in my van of my "Sunny" whom I lost at age fourteen two years ago. This old "Guy" resembles him a LOT and even has that old man bark like my "Sunny". What is really scary when my husband first seen him he asked me if that is "SUNNY'S" brother.. scary... I have someone that works with local shelters and when a PB German Shepherd comes in they send me pics. The shelter found him wondering down a highway, no German Shepherd rescue wanted him :-( This "Guy" was sponsored so the shelter wanted a rescue Group to get him. It is a shame I had to go thru a "Golden Retreiver" rescue Group (thanks to Pat Lukos and Joe) to get him out thru a 501c. I will take him to the vets (at my own expense) have him checked out and heartworm tested and he will get a BATH tomorrow. I think he has found his forever home.....
