Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is the goal of the
Central Illinois German Shepherd Dog Rescue?
Answer:
Central Illinois German Shepherd Dog Rescue is committed to helping homeless
German Shepherds. This is done by rescuing homeless German Shepherds from
animal control, animal shelters, and other animal welfare organizations.
By spaying and neutering all dogs in our program and educating the public
in proper pet care, we hope to lessen the burdens of animal welfare organizations.
This means lowering overpopulation and, therefore, lowering the euthanasia
rates of dogs— which is our ultimate goal.
