Dallas-Fort Worth: Looking for a Dog?

[furrbear]

Passed on from a friend:

A German Shepherd rescue group called Camp Wolfgang , in Ennis, Texas is closing down because of family issues on 31 October. I don’t have any additional details, other than they are closing their doors.

All the dogs are vetted, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, well cared-for and many have had training.

They have nearly 200 dogs that must find a foster or be adopted before 31 October or they will have no choice but to euthanize them all. I am shocked by this and I hope you are too.

If you cannot help by fostering or adopting...YOU CAN STILL HELP!!!

Please forward this information to everyone you know...if we all forward this to everyone we know, chances are good that many of these dogs can be saved!

They do not need or want donations, they simply MUST place all of the dogs.

Adoption fees are $75.00, free to verifiable rescue groups.

Current dogs: (approximate)
120 German Shepherds
2 Akitas
1 Anatolian/Great Pyrenees
4 Purebred Rottweiler
1 Great Dane/Lab
1 Boxer/Mastiff
1 St. Bernard/Akita
1 WolfDog
45 Other mixed breeds

Time is of the essence!!

If you know anyone who can adopt, accept a dog into their rescue, or help in any way, contact Neisha Livengood, Kennel Master at Camp Wolfgang .

I love shepherds. This breaks my heart. I'm hearing more and more stories like this, unfortunately. There was a large rescue facility near Madison that had to close last year, and was in the same situation. There just isn't enough money going around to keep these places open.

So far, where I work, there was only 1 layoff last year, and this year we're just being very very tight with spending. Supposedly we're only about 1% behind our forecasts for raising money.

I'll mention this case at work tomorrow. We have done long-distance transfer programs before. We've just had our own massive dog influx, but maybe it's settled down enough now that they could consider it.

I can't adopt a dog - but I have passed this along to some people I know who are very active in dog rescue. Here's hoping that helps.

This breaks my heart something awful. I love all dogs, but have a special place in my heart for German Shepherds as our family dog growing up was a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix
