I would like to publicly thank Barb Gallasso for her poignant story on the plight of the shelter dogs. This was one of your best, Barb! It has your passion and COMpassion all through it. I do believe that together, we CAN make a difference for these forgotten souls; be they GSD or mixed breed; each life has value. Southern Cross GSD rescue has a pup who was abandoned with horrendous mange. His feet were swollen twice their size and he is on antibiotics for the infection. They are absorbing enormous expenses for his care; he is too sweet and young to let him go when his condition is totally treatable. They are also looking for a furever home for Jada; she is loosing hope and is desperate for a family of her own. I would also like to thank the administrators of this list for their continued support and understanding. It is by YOUR compassion that I am able to tell the stories of these "disposable" dogs, and by doing so, hopefully give them another chance to play in the sun.
