Thankfully, the caller was able to scoop them both into her car and save them from certain death.  Both dogs were covered in ticks and fleas from head to toe, and it was obvious that they had not seen a good meal in a very long time.  Without hesitation, German Shepherd Rescue agreed to take the shepherd sight unseen.  (The Cocker Spaniel went home to live with her rescuer's mother.)

Shakira is a beautiful black and tan girl, approximately 10 months old.  She is sweet and loving, grateful for any drop of attention bestowed on her.  She has not had any training, but responds very well to praise.  Shakira is currently at our vet getting "de-bugged", inside and out!  She will receive all of her shots, and be spayed and de-wormed this week so that she is all set for a brand new start.  Could you please be the one to give this poor girl the break she deserves after enduring such a horrible beginning?

Shakira desperately needs a sponsor to help defray her medical costs and the costs of her boarding ($70.00 per week).  If you can help in any way, your donation will go directly to her care.  No gift is too small.  No kindness unnoticed.
