Casey was a special dog that was at the Anderson Animal Shelter. He needed some extra care to deal with his separation anxiety. The Anderson Animal Shelter is "committed to a low-kill philosophy (100% adoption of adoptable animals)" so they proactively work with reputable rescue groups to find homes for the dogs in their care. Casey's adoptive family had filled out an application with the Central IL GSD Rescue and we were able to match him up with Casey at the Anderson Animal Shelter.
Casey was adopted via the "Match Program" directly from the Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin, IL
Jack was a 10 month old, male-neutered, black/tan, German Shepherd Dog. Jack was an adorable happy-go-lucky dog. He loved the baby, other dogs, and people. He was a very laid back guy, who appreciated a good sunbeam with the best of them, but still had the energy to play like a puppy.

Cece was a 7 month old, female, sable, spayed German
Shepherd Dog. Beautiful. She was about as sweet
as they come. She had been
accused
of being
an escape artist, but we had yet to see her misbehave, other
than jumping on us for hugs and kisses. She was an extremely
human oriented dog and loved to be near her people. She was
very loving
and very submissive. She just lived for cuddles. She had gotten
along with the other dogs very well and just was a sweetie.
The only way we could see her escaping out of a pen was if
someone
left her outdoors and ignored her. She just lived for human companionship.

Lady was a black/red plush
coat, 2.5 year old, spayed, female German Shepherd Dog.
She was extremely
sweet female, very kissy and a lap dog. She had lived at
a gas station for quite a while (not
intentionally according to the gas attendants, she just
hung out). Her beautiful coat had suffered a bit, but after
several
hours of grooming, she would recover beautifully.
Lady was rescued via the "Match Program" with specific intent to go to a wonderful waiting family searching for a GSD similar to her. When they met, it was an instant done deal, and she is headed to a marvelous new life of constant attention and spoiling. She couldn't be happier with the prospect and we were thrilled to provide the service to kind people choosing to be patient and kind and choose their new pet out of rescue, rather than the instant gratification of a pet store, puppymill, or backyard breeder.

Megan's family had come to visit one of Central IL GSD Rescue's other available dogs and none of them really fit what they are looking for. We offered them the "Match Program" and after speaking with them further, we located a homeless German Shepherd that had been tied to a tree and abandoned. This sweetheart (Megan) went from an uncertain future to a loving home with perfect accommodations because her new owners were loving enough to choose rescue, and patient enough to wait for a good match for their household.

Java Joe was the brother of Delaney. He lived
up to his caffeinated name as a
high drive dog. He aimed to please and was very smart
and
responsive. He was a sweet and
lovable bundle of energy.

Taylor was a 10 month old, spayed, black/tan, female German Shepherd Dog. Both Taylor and Delaney have been left without medical care and tied to trees virtually their entire short life. They have heavy scarring on their necks from wearing collars that were too small and being tied out. You should have seen them in the dog kennel. They were soooooo happy to romp and play with each other. We are sure it was hard to play when they were tethered to trees out of reach from each other. They were very sweet and had outstanding temperaments. They have been good with kids, small dogs, and large dogs. They were curious about the cats, but just seem interested.

Ricki
(renamed Leebah)— originally adopted on February 29,
2004
Ricki was a fawn and black, spayed, female, Boxer/Shepherd mix that was born July 29, 2003. She was the quietest of all four of Zoe's pups. Keep in mind they were all pups, so that was relative. She was sweet and lovable and wanted to be pampered with hugs and kisses. She was 27.5 lbs at her spay surgery and wouldl not be a large dog. These pups were truely the best of both worlds. They were smart, with lovely noses and nice tails, but had the happy go lucky personality of Boxers. They would do well in a busy household, with children, and would handle change well as long as their loving owner was always with them.

Miss Piggy was a spayed fawn/black Boxer/German Shepherd mix that was born (7/29/03). She was named for being the biggest of the litter, but later was the smallest! The runt passed her by! Miss Piggy was very human oriented and outgoing and loved attention and cuddles. She also was food motivated and just loved playing with her siblings and anyone else who happened to be in the exercise area with her! These pups knew no enemies and thought everyone, including the cats, were potential friends. Their Boxer side shown in their desire to always walk on their back legs and hug you.

Cassie was a beautiful and wonderful 6 year old black/tan, spayed, female German Shepherd Dog. She was mellow and cuddly and so very sweet, yet still playful and fun to hang out with. She was a super special pup that needed a great new home. She was a very loved member of her home, but a nasty neighbor placed her life at risk. Fearing for her, her family placed her in rescue to find a safer environment that would be just as loving. She was the perfect age and was a wonderful pet.
Cassie's sponsor: Jody Leigh in memory of her beloved German Shepherd, Dixie.
