[Myamom]

Carver- URGENT
Carver (A06281225) is a 10 year old already neutered male German Shepherd.
Carver is really handsome, even though he has old man grey and long nails.
Carver is talkative and attentive in his kennel and a sweet funny boy
outside. Carver likes other dogs and is sweet and affectionate with
people. Carver has decent hips for an old man, but can be a little stiff.

I look at him and can't help but to think of that poem 'How could you?'...its about a dog that gives his human all the devotion and love he had... at first his human was proud of him and kept his picture in his wallet showing it to everyone....his owner takes on a better job leaving less time for him, he (the dog) didn't mind as long as he had his person. Then the new wife came along and didn't like the dog but the dog tried everything.....well you know the story...then the dog ends up in a shelter being put to sleep.
These dogs never stop loving us, and this boy has sooooo much love to give to that special person that will save his life. Please lets show this boy that people aren't bad, that he is still loveable. All dogs deserve to have that special person who thinks they are the most wonderful dog in the world.

Hi Shepherd folks.
I am basically begging at this point for help. We have to make space today
and Carver, one of the 3 shepherds is at high risk of euthanasia because
of his age.

A volunteer from GSDR-SEPA came and evaled them today and thought very
highly of Carver and believes Shadow. Carver needs out
NOW.
Please call me ASAP if you can help save - we do not have days
to wait

THanks,
Natalie

myamom, aren't you in this area? Could you do a pull/temp hold to save this boy's life? If so, I will try to network him nationally.
