German Shepherd Rescue received a call on Mother's Day requesting we come and pick up the family dog.  Our volunteers heart nearly broke when she found out why this wonderful dog was being given up...

Katie was in the back yard with the family Grandchildren (ranging in ages from 11 months to 12 years) when a guest of the next door neighbors jumped over the fence to retrieve a ball that had come over the wall.  Being a German Shepherd that was entrusted to care for the children, Katie did what any German Shepherd would do -- she chased the intruder back over the wall.  She did not attack him, she did not bite him -- she simply made it clear he would not be allowed near her "kids."

Our volunteer could not believe someone would give up this beautiful girl for doing her job.  Had the intruder been a kidnapper intending to harm one of the children, Katie would be their hero.  Sadly, Katie only knew the children were alone in the yard, that a stranger had jumped over the fence, and that she had to protect her "flock."  Doing her job cost Katie her home.

Katie is a beautiful 3 year old dark black and tan female.  She is AKC registered.  Katie ADORES children, and is as loyal as they come.  She is good with other dogs.  She is very confused at losing her home and is desperate to find her forever family...

Katie is currently in boarding.  If you wish to meet her, please send an email to ShawnGSDRescue@aol.com or call (714) 206-9002 and ask how you can arrange to meet Katie.  Please note that we have another dog named Katie at the Burbank rescue facility, so please be sure to state which one you are interested in meeting.
