Hi Mary Ann,
I was able to get to the shelter today and get pics of the GSD. He is young by the looks of his teeth and is underweight by my standards. Not more than two years old I'd guess. He walked on leash well, and got along with the other dog, a Lab who was on leash near him in the yard. He was not tested with cats, but Christina, the shelter vol. can do that on Sunday as well as get more info on him. This shelter is a small rural open intake with a very high euthinazia rate. He does not have long there as they only have room for 30 dogs/puppies. He is being kept in an unairconditioned open ended Butler type building and it is hot. There are fans on the floor, but the heat is stifling, even for a human.
Christina Skrobak will send you more information on Sunday, but getting his picture and age out, hopefully will be a start for him to get on the way to a new life. Thank you for posting him to your GSD contacts. Christina's email is
cskrobak@gmail.com and her phone number is 205-410-1003. We do not know his hw status as this shelter does no vetting. He can be tested at the local vet of a cost of $15, but a volunteer will have to take him. We can get him neutered and vetted for around $100 if someone offers to help him.
