Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
Where do the German Shepherds at your rescue come
from?
Answer:
We rescue only German Shepherds in shelters and animal controls since these dogs
have no advocates and are faced with death. Also, by removing German Shepherd
dogs from these facilities, spaces are opened up for other homeless dogs. Many
shelters actively participating in purebred networks go several months without
have to euthanatize dogs that they would otherwise have to euthanatize due
to overcrowding.
