Calls from Owners Giving Up Their Dogs

This page is currently under construction.

We have had numerous phone calls and e-mails from people wanti Shng to discard of their Germanepherds.

We are not sure if we are the only ones disgusted, and we are also confused as to why so many people have such little feeling of responsibility for their pets.

We have decided to post some of the requests, because we truly do not believe the public understands what a rescue must deal with.

A tiny amount of people take it upon themselves to provide rescue services out of their homes, personal budgets and often the expenses of pet professionals who donate their time and services to save these dumped, abused, neglected, and irresponsibly discarded sweet animals. All of the animals in rescue need to find homes as soon as possible to allow openings for the next needy animal. There are never enough homes or rescues for those dogs being dumped by their owners.

The long term solution involves illegalization of puppy sales in both pet stores and by individuals, as well as the spaying and neutering of all pet dogs. If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
