Montrose,PA-13 GSD's need fosters - for shelter

Myamom · 03-06-2010, 07:39 PM

I had the pleasure of meeting the new director of this shelter today at an adoption event. Great strides have been made at this shelter...and it is now no kill. He is very dedicated to this new mission.

There are 13 GSD's here that were confiscated...and must be held until hearings, trial, etc... The director does not think there will be any resolution until summer or fall. He would love to see at least some of these GSD's get into foster homes (for the shelter...all expenses would be paid by the shelter) as he does know that keeping them kenneled for this length of time is going to do a number on them. We all know how badly GSD's do in shelter situations...

If anyone could help out...please contact Corey.

btw-Corey is a behavioralist that specializes in aggression issues...so will be able to give a an accurate description of temperment. He did say they are very nice...

Ohhhhh blah. 13?!?!? For 6 months plus? Tough situation all the way around. They won't do well in a shelter/kennel that length of time, but they'll likely become bonded to the foster family then moved around again. -sigh-

Its really too bad that people in this situation don't do what is best for the animals and willingly turn them over. Good luck furbabies!

I wouldn't be worried about them in foster that long...rescues have dogs that long in foster all the time...and many times longer.

How great to hear of a shelter that has improved and is moving in a positive direction. Kudos for the new director!

Is there a link where we can view those GSDs?

Jax08 · 03-12-2010, 07:47 PM

No, there is not a link. If you are interested in fostering one while the case is in process you can call the shelter and ask for Cory.

I think she was interested in seeing if any of these dogs could possibly be her missing Vinnie. It's a long shot, I know, but worth a chance...

The owners might just sign the dogs over as they will have to pay the cost of keeping the dogs in the shelter and all medical costs. This is what pushed a local breeder to sign them over to the shelter.

Let's hope they do so the 13 do not have to sit in the shelter for months before being able to be adopted.
