Our mission is to save German Shepherd Dogs from high kill shelters, abuse and abandonment. What that amounts to is countless volunteers assessing, rescuing, fostering and transporting GSDs from shelters, to medical appointments, to new families. It amounts to thousands and thousands of dollars in food, preventatives, medications, vet care, rehabilitative treatment and other supplies for the dogs we save. It amounts to sleepless nights, stressful days and a great sigh of relief when a dog that didn’t have a chance reaches our foster network and can sleep peacefully at last. It amounts to tireless, heartwrenching work that only the most committed, most passionate, most caring volunteers will do.
The amount we’re hoping to raise isn’t just a number – it’s so much more. It’s the faces of three hundred or more dogs you can see on our Facebook page that will be rescued in the next year thanks to your generous donations. It’s the dozens of foster families that won’t have to have a lot of money to show a dog a lot of love, because all of the supplies they’ll need are provided. It’s the countless volunteers that won’t have to leave a dog at a kill shelter because the cost of their care would be too high…wiping tears from their eyes as they walk out, knowing the dog never will.
Our volunteers and supporters are the most amazing people we know. We call them our “Village”, because we know it takes a villiage to do the amazing work we do. We also know we couldn’t to it without them, and without you.
