Ava
is a 6 month old pure bred female German Shepherd. Last fall, on a whim
I went with my daughter to look at an adult GSD advertised in the
newspaper. When I got to the big, beautiful house I saw a skinny, jumpy
Mom dog running around the backyard with her puppies. There was one
puppy who wasn't running and playing with the others. It was dark and it
had just rained. My teenage daughter walked through the backyard and
picked up this little puppy with a deformed muddy head. The man said
that the mom dog attacked the puppy when she was eating and the pup
approached her. The pup was lethargic and just melted into my daughters
arms. The man was very unconcerned about the injured pup and said she
would be fine and didn't need to see the vet. I could see the pain and
misery on this poor animals face. I offered him $100 for her and he
agreed. I also bought her Mother as well knowing that she needed a new
home as well. I had no where to put these dogs and knew my h! usband
would not be happy. Being avid Gray's Anatomy watchers we named her Ava
after the character who had to have her face rebuilt on the show. We
took Ava to the vet the next day. Once all the mud was washed off her
head we were able to see a huge puss filled abscess. It was trying to
heal but it was a mess of scar tissue and infection. My vet rushed her
back into emergency surgery and ended up cutting away a large amount of
skin and fur from her forehead. She stitched it backup and Ava looked
like a franken-baby. She the cutest round puppy belly and this horribly
mangled head. We were amazed when two days after surgery she started
running and playing with our other dogs. We had never seen her with any
energy! A few days after surgery we noticed her diahhrea was not going
away. We first chalked it up to a change in dogfood, but quickly
realized it was something more. We took her back to the vet for a fecal
test and was told she had the severest case of giardia my vet! had ever
seen. My vet stated "I showed everyone in the office! because you don't
see test like that, even in the text books." We put her on Giardia
medication and IV's for dehydration. Her wounds slowly began to heal
when I noticed she wasn't very co-ordinated. She often stumbled and fell
over. We took her back to the vet. She STILL had Giardia. The vet said
to give her time, with the type of injury she had to her head she may
have had brain damage. Her co-ordination began to get better but she was
never at the level other puppies her age were at. She was always a happy
dog though. She slept on the floor of my daughters room and knew when we
let her in from outside where she slept. She would run to her bed and
lay down and look at us like she won some type of race. Months later her
Giardia was not fully cured. We tried many different types of
medications and just recently she finished her full vaccination series
of the Giardia vaccine. She is still developmentally behind but is a
very sweet, happy dog who is eager to please. She occasionally f! alls
and lets out a yelp but she is catching up. We were recently told that
severe Giardia can also cause developmental delay. Ava is an amazing
survival story. She needs a patient person who will work with her and
teach her doggy life skills. Anyone interested in Ava can call me, |

One of German Shepherd Rescuers found
Thummper staggering down the sidewalk in
obvious pain after being hit by a car. He was rushed to our vet, where
he was given much needed care and attention. It appeared as though
Thummper may have been on his own for some time prior to the accident.
Unfortunately, he did not have a collar, tag or microchip. Efforts were
made to determine if he had a family, but no one responded. Thummper injured his hip during his accident, but thankfully, did not break any bones. After a couple of days of treatment at our vet, he was gave him a clean bill of health and sent off to our care to recuperate. Initially, Thummper's injury made it difficult for him to walk comfortably, but he now walks with much greater ease and much less discomfort. He is approximately 7 years old and weighs between 50 & 55 lbs. Thummper has a very sweet and calm disposition. He loves everyone and would love nothing better than to curl up next to you on the couch and continue his convalescence. Thummper is currently in boarding and would surely prefer the warmth and security of a stable home. He has tremendous best-friend potential - could that special person be you? |

This handsome big guy is Kodiak.
Kodi to his friends... Kodi got his name because he is a big
lovable bear. GSROC received dozens of calls and emails about a big,
beautiful white German Shepherd in a very high kill shelter. As you can
see from his pictures Kodi ADORES everyone.
He gave kisses to the vet as he was being examined, as if to say "Thank you for helping me" He gave kisses to his rescuer and anyone else who came close enough. He was a huge hit with some small children in the vets waiting room and laid down to play with a 6 pound terrier. He has such a wonderful temperament we are certain he would live very well with cats. Kodi could stand to lose a few pounds, and we are working on that. Kodi seems to have been neglected as his fur was filthy and quite matted, but GSROC sent him to the Doggie Spa for a day of beauty and he's a new dog. Kodi is a very mellow guy and more football watching couch potato than jogging partner. Kodi will stay right by your side and just wants to please. Kodi loves to go for car rides and is a perfect gentleman while doing so. He is also a joy to walk. If you didn't see him on the other end, you wouldn't even know he was there, he stays perfectly by your side. He's got a little arthritis in his hips (but who doesn't?) but he doesn't let this slow him down. Kodi is about 5-6 years old and loves to cuddle.

Jello is one of our
Hong Kong imports. When some horrible people threw her off a fishing
boat a good Samaritan went to her aid. From there, our incredible
volunteers in Hong Kong arranged for her safe passage to the US. Jello came all the way to America for a new life. Her previous life in Hong Kong was not a kind one. She was discarded like trash when she was no longer wanted. Jello knows that we will find her a wonderful, loving, devoted family now that she is safe and sound with GSROC. She is spayed, vaccinated, free of parasites, microchipped and ready to find someone special.
We are grateful to Jello's amazing sponsors for
making it possible for this precious creature to have the life that she
deserves.

looking for a family who will give her a nice home until the end. Lina

chasing a running critter! She LOVES that. While she may get along
with another dog, she does not want to be bothered by them. Lina has spinal and back problems, which slow her down, but she is clearly a happy dog. She enjoys going for short walks, and she loves to roll onto her back to scratch it for minutes at a time. We are looking for someone special who will give Lina a comfortable

Lollie is a beautiful, affectionate, well
mannered older female GSD. She is house trained, rides well in the car
and loves to go for short walks during which she carefully checks out
the interesting smells and objects along the way. She is superb with
other dogs. She alarm barks appropriately when people come to the door,
but accepts them readily when introduced. She may take a few weeks to
strongly bond with her new family, but when she does, she will be a
faithful companion. She used to be able to stay alone for reasonable
lengths of time, but recently has started barking when left alone for 12
hours or more. As with many of us senior citizens, Lollie has some
arthritis in her rear end which is being treated with pain medicine and
glucosimine. <>Lollie’s ideal home would be with a family in which
someone is home most of the time, a family that will provide her
companionship, moderate exercise, and lots and lots of love. She could
easily live with another dog, but it would need to be one that did not
play rambunctiously. A home with lots of steep stairs would not be good
for Lollie. Lollie is being fostered on the San Francisco Peninsula.

Freedom is a male German Shepherd who is
about 10 years old and in need of a good home. I have had my dog Freedom
for about 9 years and unfortunately I had to move to a condo and we
don't have the space needed for this beautiful energetic dog. Freedom understands basic commands like sit, stay and lay down and is very comfortable with other animals. He has lived with other dogs big and small as well as cats and guinea pigs with no problem at all. He is primarily black with a little brown around the ankles. Every person who meets Freedom is amazed when they learn he is ten years old because he still has the energy of a five year old. Freedom is neutered and is a completely healthy dog. This handsome boy loves people and enjoys playing fetch outside. He is house broken and is comfortable sleeping both indoors and outdoors. Freedom does well with little children. |

Lady has lived with us for the last seven
years, but we must find a new home for her now. Lady is a very pretty,
11 year old female German Shepherd and weighs about 100 lbs. She really
is happiest when she is with her people.
Lady becomes excited when greeting strangers, but calms down quickly. Her favorite game is tug and pull. She is fun loving and playful, but has little interest in playing ball. Lady graduated from basic obedience classes and is good with children. As a senior dog, she will limp slightly from hip pain, but this not always present. On leash Lady can be protective on a walk, but off leash at the dog park she is friendly and quiet. No cats for Lady because she will chase them. We feel that the best home for this pretty girl will be one that has someone at home most of the time. Lady will make a lovely companion dog.

Critically ill guardian and his family seek help re-homing loving chocolate lab-mix and shepherd-mix dogs – (Long Beach, CA)
The late stage cancer-stricken guardian of 6 year old Hunter, a neutered male shepherd-lab and Dessa, a spayed female 7 year old chocolate lab-mix, not only faces rigorous “last effort” treatment for his illness, but the painful reality that he no longer has the strength to care for the dogs he has loved since rescuing them as puppies. Hopeful the canine rescue community will network and find Hunter and Dessa a place to live happily, either together or separately, this guardian and his close-knit family are appealing for help. Hunter is about 90 pounds; most likely shepherd-lab mix. He’s a high energy dog who benefits from routine, consistent exercise, including trail walking, ball throwing and runs with his person. Dessa is a chocolate lab-pit mix, about 60 pounds. While less active, she enjoys people attention. She gets along well with and plays nicely with a family member’s small dogs. Both dogs are housebroken, mindful and at one time leash-trained.

There is an area
known as the Marshland where homeless people live. Mr. Ford (a
homeless man) and his beloved companion Little Guy
thought they came upon some good luck. A store owner was discarding
Alpo canned dog food that was part of the tainted recall. Instead of
telling Mr. Ford what was going on, he gave the food to him knowing
it could possibly make Little Guy very sick.
The next day a
Forensic Officer was called to the Marshland area and found Little
Guy and his caretaker, both very sick. Mr. Ford refused medical
treatment but agreed to get help for his beloved companion. The
Forensic Officer called Animal Control and instead of taking Little
Guy to the Animal Shelter, these kind Samaritans took him to the Vet
for treatment.
Little Guy's caretaker and loyal companion came to see him a few times and each time he cried and wept. He slept in the field near the Vet Hospital so he could be nearby. He even offered his backpack and the little bit of money he had to help Little Guy get the treatment he needed. After a few visits Mr. Ford disappeared. We suspect that he has since passed away but the Forensic Officer continues to look for him. It is obvious Little Guy was very well-loved. We're still learning more about our homeless furkid but so far we've been told he's good with other dogs, very social around people and doesn't exhibit any negative behaviors. Little Guy is finally healthy and ready to leave the Vet Hospital and find his forever home. |

DUKE and DUCHESS are a
loving brother and sister who need a new home, as their person is
dying of cancer. She has an estimated 2 months left to live, and is
very concerned about their future. It is obvious that they sense
something is terribly wrong.
These siblings are 2 years old; a mixture of German Shepherd, Keeshond and Husky. At least that’s what we think! Whatever genetic makeup they have, it includes the ‘love’ and ‘cuddle’ ones as well! Both are housebroken, and love to go for walks just as much as they love lying at your feet. A snooze in the sun is a welcome diversion from the stresses of not barking much, not digging holes and always being ready to give a kiss. They are perfectly healthy, have all their shots and are altered. Each dog weighs about 40 lbs. Duke and Duchess's caregivers would love to find them a home together so they help each other grieve, but if they have to separate them in order to find them a loving family they will. |

a loving home, please contact Kristi at:
