Meet Smokey... 

During the recent fires here in Southern California, a neighborhood had to evacuate.  As the Firefighters performed a final sweep to ensure that everyone had been safely evacuated, they were horrified to find two beautiful German Shepherd Dogs left in a backyard to die a horrible death by smoke and fire.

How could someone save their TV and computer, but leave behind cherished family members to burn to death?  The brave Firefighters quickly rushed these two frightened dogs to safety.  When no one came to claim, German Shepherd Rescue received a call...  Could we possibly help these wonderful dogs?  Our answer -- We're full, we're broke, we're stretched to our limit... but we'll have a volunteer there tomorrow morning to pick up them up.

Smokey and Cinder needed to be spayed and neutered, and when the Firefighters found out the expense involved in this they "passed the boot" to collect donations to help get Smokey and Cinder spayed and neutered.  As is our policy, since the Firemen saved the dogs, they got to name them.  They felt the names Smokey and Cinder were a nice fit, given what these furkids had survived.  We would like to thank Mark, Greg and Chad, the wonderful Firefighters for saving these two beautiful and brave German Shepherd Dogs.

Smokey is a handsome 2-3 year old black and tan male.  He is very friendly and outgoing.  He gets along well with other non-aggressive dogs.  Cinder has found her forever family, but Smokey is still looking for someone of his very own.
