"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged
by the way in which its animals are treated.
I hold that the more helpless a creature,
the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."Ghandi
The New Year is going to be like no other for Diablo! He has only known neglect and cruelty. We see so many sad things, but seeing Diablo and seeing how he suffered, but seeing his resilience and his capacity to forgive and love is mind boggling. What a disappointment Diablo must have been to his owners. Obviously, they wanted a devil dog, chaining him to make him mean. Today all Diablo wanted to do was give our volunteer his paw in thanks for his double cheeseburgers. He rode back to the kennel with his head on a volunteer’s shoulder. We have promised Diablo and he already knows that he will only experience love and good things for many years to come. Your donations help us save the lives of dogs like Diablo! |

THANK YOU !! It has been a rough year with so many dogs losing their homes and people giving up dogs because they couldn’t feed them anymore. Thanks to so many wonderful people, from the volunteers to our adopters, to those who are right on our side to give support for medical care or those sending notes of appreciation and a check in the mail. Even though we see so many tragic things, at the end of the year we feel so lucky that there are so many kind and generous people who have kept us going. This year we have placed almost 600 dogs in qualified homes. The cost of veterinary care is high and boarding costs are huge. Our average cost per dog is twice the adoption fee, but again so many good people are there to support the dogs. Take a minute to look at our Tails of Joy and see what your work and your generosity has helped us accomplish all together, we have made a big difference. Thank you, Robin |

Sweet 8 month old Misha was abandoned just when she needed her family most! After being hit by a car and being dragged on asphalt Misha’s owners opted not to pay for any medical care. Instead they had animal control pick her up at their vet with open wounds and torn ligaments. Because of a mix up, the shelter held Misha for 5 days before she could be released. Poor baby is only 8 months old and has suffered so much already; according to our vet, she is in terrible pain. She needs complicated surgery to repair torn ligaments, she also needs treatment to help fight an infection left untreated... Misha won’t be home for Christmas but at least she could be on her way to recovery. We need your help! |

Emmi wants to know when it will be her turn to have a home of her own. She watches as the new dogs arrive and leave shortly after, she sees them come and go. She doesn’t understand where her family is, she tries hard to be such a good girl. Ask any guy in the kennel about her and they all say the same thing, “Emmi is a cool dog!”, so then she wonders what could be wrong. Could it possibly be because her owners long ago left her in the yard and flies damaged her ears? She tells herself it couldn’t be possible, she knows she is still a very good looking girl. She knows she comes from good German Shepherd stock, she knows someone has to see her true beauty inside and out. You can reach me by emailing my friend Karen at k9karen@sbcglobal.net |
I GOOFED ... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME? Really, really I’m so sorry! It is just that I thought it would be nice if I could go play in the yard at night, I got bored in my kennel. I was just wondering if anyone had a door they didn’t need and knew how to put in a new one? Westside German Shepherd Rescue is in the dog house and I’m trying to help them. Your friend, Conrad. |

Robin, we just adopted a little baby girl from Korea. We assumed Rosie would get jealous and we'd have to work with her. But, no! Sweet Rosie loves our little girl. She sits by her crib while our daughter Kai is sleeping and Rosie rushes to her whenever she cries and licks her. It is the sweetest thing. We are so proud of our Rosie!!! If there was ever any doubt about how loyal and kind GSDs are, Rosie's proof! |

(click here to see the rest of the many dogs in need) Because of an ongoing court case involving animal cruelty, these 4 dogs have been at the shelter for 3 years as 'evidence'. It has taken a toll on these poor dogs and they desperately need to go to foster homes as soon as possible. Click on each dog's name to see a short video about them and read a little more about their sad story. If you can help, please contact Helen at 310-488-1098 or email her helen.storey@verizon.net OR Stella at 818-349-4100, her email is stellalee9@yahoo.com |
