While we fire up our grills and plan our summer parties with family and friends, a very young GSD was found rooting for food in a garbage dump in Coweta county Georgia. Her pads are worn; possibly from hot pavement? This dog has not even grown into her ears and already has survived more than her fair share. The people who found her did bring her home, but are unable to keep her as they already have multiple dogs. She will jump a 4 foot fence if left alone; probably for fear of being returned to the "life" she had. Her face is full of hope....could you be her guardian angel??? please copy/paste into your browser to read her story. http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/lasthopegsds/vpost?id=2746808 There are senior dogs galore; our Sanctuary could be filled two times over already. Some of these Senior citizens are eminently adoptable; but it would take some time to find the right placement for them. People move away and abandon them...some just turn them loose in hopes of them finding a home, rather than relegating them to certain death at the "shelter"...some have had to choose between food for their family, or food for the dog and done the only thing they felt they could, by relinquishing the dog to the local pound. There are NOT ENOUGH GSD RESCUES to handle this load. We have been networking with all breed rescues across the country; trying to find a corner here or there for a hapless soul for whom we ARE the Last Hope. If you live in Georgia or South Carolina, PLEASE consider lending a kennel and saving a life. Dogs are HW negative, vaccinated and can be spayed/neutered before transporting to your home. LHSH does its level best to find Rescues to commit to these dogs and we make every effort to move them on as quickly as possible. If you have time to spare, perhaps transport is something you might be able to help with. We have dogs in Georgia that need a ride to Holly Hill SC. where Julie will tend their broken spirit and allow them time to heal their wounds...both mental and physical. Doghouses Buckets Food Bowls Bedding Flooring for the runs Tarps are all things we need for the Sanctuary!
