Handsome adult white shepherd, picked up as stray. Sampson is very friendly with staff. He feels much more comfortable with women than with men at this time. He should probably not be placed with cats as he chased them on his first introduction. Sampson is also heartworm positive.
Hey all - this is another incredible volunteer who works her tail (no pun intended!) off to help these dogs. She can get them to a vet and even help arrange transport. Many of you will remember Smiley - the beautiful boy with the underbite. This is the shelter that he came from. Kris is terrific to work with and has helped countless animals into rescue!

Here's a beautiful picture of Sampson...
Kris - is he light HW+ or heavy? Good with other dogs? Any idea about kids? Neutered? Up to date on vaccinations? All questions that a rescue would be interested in - thanks!

Sampson is up to date on vaccines, he has had those with us. He is not neutered. I would classify him in the middle on heartworm. Not light, not heavy. He shows no problems around the other dogs, really doesn't pay much attention to them. He has been there long enough now that we can put him out in the exercise yard with someone. He does great with all of us now, at first he liked the girls who worked there best. He loves to go for walks, and I am working on cleaning up his coat, which he doesn't mind. A really nice boy! Except for his heartworms, someone took good care of him. Transport help is available to rescue from the shelter.
Just heard from Kris that Sam is still at the shelter. He's now being treated for HW. So he's neutered, up to date on vaccinations and now will be HW free. Hope that makes him more attractive to someone! Kris said he's a real sweetie...
I came across this unknown dog chained to a fence without water and with a closed food bag. I'm going to take him/her in tonight. (The owners are staying at a hotel with a no-pets policy. I haven't spoken with them, but the front desk notified me that animal control has already been there and...

We have a home and transport setup for a GSD in a Houston shelter. We just don’t have anyone to actually physically go to the shelter to “adopt” the poor guy. You can PM if you prefer.
My gsd is 4 months old, I guess he’s starting to change his teeth, he refuses to eat, vomiting and has diarrhoea, my vet told me that it’s normal but I’m worried, it’s been 2 days now without eating anything. I don’t know what to do or even if this is normal
PS: he only drank water only twice...
I have a friend in Ma. that is in a awful situation. Her neighbor was killed just recently (the wife had passed away a year or two ago) so now the two GSD's are without a family. There is an investigation going on as they believe the husband was murdered, so she has been going to the home to...
