West Monroe, LA, 9Blue, adult M, very poor condition

[RunShepherdRun]

PM'ed you Alisa.

There is something in his eyes, the utter despair, the having given up, but he is still looking as if he had a glimmer of hope, and that haunts me. Intelligent eyes. I hope he can be helped.

The Rescue Coordinator will know how he presents behaviorally. She can even cat test with a moving cat. She does such excellent work in the face of these extreme conditions. The shelter staff seems to be very caring and good with their animals, too, do what they can.

He is just beautiful, I can see it under his abused condition... He need a love, soft place to lay his head and some food in his belly and he can be a great companion.. Poor boy... The best dogs are the ones who've experienced all of life, they seem to be more grateful for everything. Even a scratch behind their ears.. Someone save this boy..

I am praying someone could help this sweet boy and he is saved.

Not sure I will be able to help, but am trying my best. Wish there was someone more local for him.

Alisa, did you ever get a response from either of these folks?

'Bill' is alive and in foster care!
Here's his new PF post:
Adoptable Shepherd: Bill: Petfinder

Though it didn't work out with SEGSD Rescue, being considered gave him the extra time to find him a local foster home, and saved his life.

The rescue coordinator wrote to me that Bill is a sweet guy with a good spirit. He is getting treated for mange and HW, and gets the groceries and TLC he so needs. Big thanks to his foster home!

His original pic looked as if he still hadn't given up on us, and his eyes haunted me. There seemed to be a good dog behind the exhaustion and long neglect, and the shelter shock. Turns out he is.

The rescue organization that supports the animals in this shelter PAWS of Northeast Louisiana found his foster home and is doing amazing work under most challenging conditions. They do imaginative community outreach to boost adoptions, and they are working towards building a low cost/high volume s/n clinic as part of the Humane Alliance project. The euthanasia rate in this area remains unbelievably high, so the clinic will be of great help to reduce the number of incoming cats and dogs. More here: PAWS of Northeast Louisiana

YAY Bill!! You can tell once he fattens up and and his coat grows back in he will be beautiful!! I am so glad he is getting a second chance!!

Christy and I have been working together and she was kind enough to take photos and video of this guy for me. Although he is such a sweet boy - he has more chow in him than shepherd. We were not able to pull him but I am thankful someone was. Christy was great to work with and we are trying to help her place a foster dog that she has, right now directly to one of our applicants. Thanks for the update, everyone - it had been a very busy rescue week for me between 2 parvo pups and 3 hw + dogs and 2 new home matches. I apologize for me delay in response.
