Officer Larry Candelari was a very close friend of mine, whose life was taken tragically. He along with the puppies I have lost has taken a piece of my heart with him, I will never forget him, and will honour, love and respect him ALWAYS. R.I.P. my friend. xx
The keen intelligence and trainability of the breed have made the GSD the most versatile breed of working dog in the world.
In addition to their traditional jobs of herding, and later of police and military type work, this breed excels at rescue, tracking, obedience, agility, scent discrimination, all types of service work and as home sentry.

Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue
Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue (GaDaH) is run from Jenny's (the founders) home. Our ultimate aim is in helping to save the lives of homeless, and abandoned German Shepherd Dogs throughout Central Texas and surrounding areas. Animals mainly come from local KILL shelters, or strays found aimlessly wandering the streets, starving, scared and homeless.
Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue strongly supports spay and neutering programs, and works with other organizations to promote, and provide education on spay/neuter programs, Heart worm preventative, general animal care, and other necessary programs.
Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue animals are examined all spayed/neutered; micro chipped; given rabies vaccination; any other required vaccinations; Heart worm tested; and receive all required medical treatment to ensure they are healthy, both physically and mentally, before they are placed in carefully screened homes.

Rescues...
Rescuers, rescue supporters, and volunteers do not walk on water. We don't wear capes and tights or leap tall buildings. We aren't better than anyone else, but we do pursue a cause that we believe makes us better than before we started. We make mistakes; we feel we can't do enough at home; we rant out in frustration; we lose our tempers and get snappy; we have to reject people sometimes for the good of a dog. We are not always likeable. What we do is draining, emotionally, financially and physically. Please bear with us and forgive us our flaws, because we are doing work that's bigger than we are.

goes into PARTNERSHIP with
Shepherds for Lost Sheep Inc.
|
Shepherds for Lost Sheep, Inc. was founded by veterans hoping to enrich the lives of other veterans dealing with physical and psychological injuries.
Our mission is simple! "To help veterans help themselves heal through the use of service K-9's." While we primarily train dogs for PTSD, TBI mitigation, we realize that those aren't the only areas of a person's health affected. We have zero paid staff!!! AND We are proud of it!!! All of our staff volunteers their time, expertise, and talent to assist in each dog's training. What does that mean for the veteran? It means all the money donated goes directly to the dogs!! If you have any questions before applying for our program, please feel free to contact our Veteran Liaison, Heather Fall at veteranliaison@shepherdsforlostsheepinc.org.

Shepherds for Lost Sheep, Inc. is committed to the training of Service Dogs that will enhance the lives of Veterans and mitigate the wounds of war. While we focus primarily on the Psychiatric Service Dogs, we rarely find a veteran without a physical need as well. Therefore, we train our dogs to the individual veterans needs whether it is PTSD mitigation, traumatic brain injury (TBI) mitigation, or a mobility problem.

The PACK - August 2012 |
RESCUE Pack - May 2012LOOK at these special, socialised pups, just HOPING someone will fall in love with them and give them a perfect home - yes they are having fun living in the pack, but they don't get much one on one attention, and they deserve to be able to give, and receive so much more love and affection.
I have done my part in their life changing process..... do you want to be the person who completes it?? |
