  Just a quick note to let everyone know what has been going on in the last 
week with the GSD's who have either been rescued, need rescue, or are going TO 
rescue.
Thru the generosity of the people on this list, you have contributed to the 
lives of:
    Willow, Chance, Harley, Buddy, Luckie, Gretchen, Shandra, Blake who has an 
offer of foster here in Mass and maybe even a ride all the way from Georgia 
thanks to the dog underground railroad, little miss no name in Murray county 
who will hopefully be going to Jarnee's next week, Bocca in Illinois, the mange 
eaten puppy in GSROC, Chelsea another Georgia owner surrender, and working on 
Alexis in Floyd County (Rome Ga.) and a VERY pregnant GSD momma in Ohio who is 
in DESPERATE need of someone to foster her in a safe enviornment while she has 
her babies. Forgive me if I have forgotten someone; there have been so 
many....there were 5 in a South Los Angeles shelter who I forwarded on to 
GSROC, as well as a senior gal who they have committed to. 
Thru the compassion of the people on this list, these dogs will not die in a 
gas chamber or thru an IP injection; in agony for hours waiting for death to 
relieve their pain. Either thru cash donations, networking, driving LONG hours, 
offering to foster,
make things to be sold for rescue, or simply offering a silent prayer for their 
safety, you have shown your love for this breed and your desire to stand by it. 
There are no words of thanks that could convey what these dogs are now feeling.
The joy of a good meal, a soft bed, and a loving hand; maybe for the first time 
in their life.....
  Please take a moment and check your petfinder sites in your local area...call 
your shelters and ask what their euthanization methods are and join the fight 
to stop the gas chambers, IP and heartstick injections! Demand humane treatment 
for ALL shelter animals in your towns, counties, states! Find out who is the 
responsible GSD rescue group in your area and keep in touch with them. Offer to 
update phone numbers with the various shelters in your area...many of them are 
out of date leaving the shelter no one to call when they recieve a GSD! Georgia 
people, PLEASE take serious note!! They are comming out of the woodwork in your 
state! There does NOT seem to be enough fosters or rescues to take them; many 
will be not make it out without your help! Something in that state needs to 
change IMMEDIATLEY!!! There are also allegations of severe animal cruelty being 
perpetrated on the shelter animals in Walker county Georgia shelter. To find 
out more about this, please go to United
 States Animal Protection's website.This groups focus is strictly animal 
shelter reform and they are NOT pro Peta and have been INCREDIBLY helpful in my 
search for transport and 501's to pull our beloved GSDs! Blake would not have 
gotten out without their assistance! 
  In the Rowan Kentucky pound, dogs are eating puppies and tearing each other 
apart. They are putting dogs and bitches in together with no regard for anyones 
safety! Please bring the voice of reason to bear on this situation by writing 
the politicians and begging them to make the necessary changes!!!
  I again thank the moderators of this list for allowing me to post the GSD's 
that are critical and to dissemenate what I believe to be VERY pertinent 
information wtih regard to the changing needs of rescue from day to day. 
I humbly remain...for the animals...
