Please read the original bill and its 2 amendments
carefully!
The Community Dog option
In most cases, if you are giving up your
dog, we will not take your dog or field inquiries about
adopting him. However we will allow you to post a picture
and information about your German Shepherd or German
Shepherd mix on our Community
Dogs page.
You are responsible for taking all contacts
directly from potential adopters. The Central Illinois
German Shepherd Dog Rescue assumes no liability resulting
from any Community Dog misrepresentations or adoption
mismatches.
All dogs posted on the Community Dogs
page must be spayed or neutered. This is done 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.
Please see the FAQ on "What is the goal of the
Central Illinois German Shepherd Dog Rescue?".
We reserve the right to refuse to post, and may remove,
any Community Dog from our website at any time.
Mostly, we believe that since an owner
made a conscious choice to adopt a dog, an owner must
now take the responsibility for finding their dog a
new home. In rare instances,
does an owner not have a choice!
NOTE: The owner (including anyone who takes on the
responsibility of another pet) is ultimately 100% responsible
for what happens to that pet. If a good samaritan takes
a pet, rather that taking the pet to a shelter or pound,
they are assuming responsibility for that pet.
