Kansas City GSD

Busty · 08-02-2010, 11:06 AM

Hello GSD world,

My name is Busty and I am the new owner of a 2yr old gsd named Maverick. My father owned a gsd when I was younger and I fell in love with her, so I was more than estatic when an oppertunity to rescue Maverick from a horrible home arose.
Maverick was in an abusive home (remote controls were their tool) and was very malnurished. He was covered in fleas/ticks and developed an alergey to them as a result. The previous owner claimed to love Maverick, but my dad's friend (who knew those horrible people) took Maverick away from that home and refused to give him back. That's when I met Maverick and one look in his eyes was all it took to realize I needed him as much as he needed me.
I took Maverick to my family vet, where he stayed for just short of 14 days. The vet was able to rid him of the flea/tick problem and put Maverick on a antibiotic treatment.
I am happy to report that Maverick seems to be very happy with me. His energy and overall demeaner has perked up 10x over, and his coat is growing back strong.
This is my first GSD and am looking forward to participating in the forums to learn and grow to a strong gsd leader. I will be looking for tips in training, diet/wieght gain, and beauty maintainence as well as meeting fellow gsd owners across the board.
