Details about "DO YOU ACCEPT" responses:
Medical conditions/special needs cases accepted on a case by cases basis depending on room, time, and funds available.
OWNER-SURRENDERS ARE LAST ON OUR PRIORITY LIST because their dog already has a home. Rescue can't save the WHOLE world; owners need to show responsibility by placing the dog themselves or hanging onto the dog until we can find it a home. Our website has a downloadable form to help them with this process.

DESCRIBE HOUSING USED FOR RESCUES:
All fosters are housed in private home environments with experienced Shepherd owners. The dogs undergo temperament, training and medical evaluation; all are constantly assessed for proper placement in an adoptive home.
