Rescue available to pull in CO..

Shaina · 01-09-2013, 11:03 PM

Just wanted to post this here as I don't frequent that much, but if anyone sees urgent GSD's in need of rescue around CO or in a state that can transport to CO, please shoot me a PM. Always willing to see if I can help out. I generally foster from the local shelter or the Bahamas (other breeds) but figure I could put it out here as well.

Not sure if this is ok to be posting but I don't see why it would hurt. The rescue I work with is generally willing to pull and I have numerous people able to foster GSD's (that have experience with the breed, too)

This is great info! Like you, I can't imagine why it would not be okay to post it here!

If there is a specific rescue, you would probably want to post their website so that people can look at their policies, procedures, call for references, etc, before considering sending dogs there.

I'd be more than happy to send that information when/if the situation arises. It is a very reputable rescue and have been around for a very long time. We don't see nearly as many dumped shepherds here as I see posted in other states.

You might want to consider doing all the information sharing now, rather than when the need arises. It can take a while to fully vet a rescue, and it would stink to have a dog that you were ready and able to take fall through the cracks because there wasn't time to vet you/the rescue in the small window of opportunity the dog had available.

Do it before there is a need. You know how quick things often need to happen in these situations. Be proactive!

As it is not my rescue and I don't feel great about posting advertising for them on a website in which others (strangers on a public forum, none the less) may contact them without their knowledge. I was simply trying to be a window of opportunity in that a quick pm would result in quick contact between the rescue organizers and a shelter and could save a life.
