Any contacts from Chicagoland GSD rescue here?

vat · 12-27-2010, 03:46 PM

I have been to the website but there is no contact phone numbers listed. My husband knows a gal from our bank that her hubby just brought home a GSD puppy. Long story short I just got off the phone with her and she is at wits end. They have had this pup for only a week and are calling the breeder to return the pup. Problem is breeder is not calling them back and I do not think they will as it sounds like a byb.

She (the new owner) says the pup is mean and biting. I told her this is normal and the pup is not mean. After a long conversation with her she did feel better but I am not sure if they will decide to keep this pup. Hubby just sort of sprung it on her (I know I hate those people). Any way I wanted to point them to the rescue if they decided to re-home but how do they get in touch with someone?

I think most cover a wide area?

There's also GSD Rescue Inc, I know they get dogs from various areas including Indiana:

Thank you very much for remembering me, Mary Ann.

The only rescue GSD group that I have worked with is the one listed in the post above: German Shepherd Rescue, Inc.

There are others, of course; as soon as I get a break, I'll try to look for them and post any links.

Thanks, my gal has decided to keep her pup. But it would still be nice to have some contacts in case I know of a dog in need.

Here are the GSD rescue groups that I found for Illinois. As I mentioned above, I don't have experience working with either of them, but perhaps one of our other membrs has.

Here are the links to their web pages:
