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 train-ability 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 - Living as a Pack!
photo - Jenny Cope
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 Texas. Animals mainly come from HIGH KILL Animal Shelters, (where they have THREE days to be saved), 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 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.

How many lives did "WE" save
in 2013
66 Dogs were adopted to wonderful families
5 dogs successful completed the SFLS Service Dog Training Program
15 Dogs / Puppies sadly passed to the Rainbow Bridge
66 Dogs are still available for Adoption
10 of the dogs still available were saved in 2012
66 + 5 + 15 + 66 - 10 = 142
142 dogs were saved from Kill Shelters, or a few saved as strays.
142 dogs that wouldn't have had a chance had GaDaH not stepped up to save their lives.
15 lost the fight, but we made sure they had every chance possible, we did not give up on them.
Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue could NOT have done this without your help.
It's been a heck of a roller-coaster ride, but when we look at those numbers, it makes it all worth it.
Saying THANK YOU SO MUCH does not come close to expressing our appreciation.
Stay onboard if you want to enjoy the journey with us into 2014
I am OVERLY PROUD to say this
BACK by POPULAR DEMAND
FIRST OFFICIAL Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog t-shirt!
We BROKE our goal on our first fundraiser and within hours of it closing, I was getting emails asking me how people can get a t-shirt.
I have opened another Campaign and this time our wonderful campaign advisor has ADDED the LADIES T-shirt so now you can get the REGULAR or LADIES t-shirt.
I am pleased to say that supporters in the first campaign were extremely happy with the quality of the t-shirts, the color was great. I had ordered one from Vista-print as I didn't want to wait til the end of campaign and although not the same quality t-shirt, the color in this campaign was FAR SUPERIOR.
Although we are trying to raise as much money as possible, I did want to be sure that people were getting a quality product and I was quite nervous of this - however, the feedback I have had has been wonderful.
I have set this fundraiser to close on 30th April and a smaller goal of only 50 t-shirts, since we already EXCEEDED our first goal of 100 (which I wasn't sure we was going to get) by an ADDITIONAL 13 - making a total of 113 t-shirts sold.
So - don't be the odd one out and not have your AWESOME GaDaH t-shirt, if we can sell 50, we will have fundraised around $500, obviously the more we sell, the more we raise.
For anyone living OUTSIDE the US - DO NOT BE PUT OFF..... if you paypal $30 (I'll only ask $5 for shipping which I know it will be more) with your full postal address, I will order and mail to you when we get them. I plan on sending a few back home anyway so it won't be any hassle and I hope by now you know you can trust me
Any questions please post to the thread.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR MUCH NEEDED CONTINUED SUPPORT.

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.

Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue
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.
San Antonio International Airport, FELIX meets up with his own veteran for the very first time.
The smile on his face would have you think that he knows he has now met his forever companion. ANOTHER great SUCCESS story with our amazing partners "Shepherds for Lost Sheep Inc." |

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.
COLE - the latest GaDaH dog to enter the Shepherds for Lost Sheep Inc. Program, he did so well, with little training he was almost ready for his Public Access Test. COLE has left TEXAS and is training in Washington D.C. with the SFLS President, Mr. Tim McDonough.

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?? |
