Ashlie Photo Gallery

Adopted January 1, 2005 Ashlie was a Black /Tan, 6 month old, female-spayed German Shepherd. Ashlie's story is a surprising new one to rescue. Humans never cease to amaze us.Some previous owner wrote Ashlie's birthday and her puppy vaccine dates on an envelope and attached it to her collar and then let her loose to dump her. Lucky for her she avoided being hit by cars and trucks and happened to find a wonderful human in rescue who contacted purebred rescue.
