This little sweetie has such a heartbreaking story, but keep in mind she is now safe with German Shepherd Rescue, and looking for her forever home...

One of our volunteers was taking her own dog to the vets office and was going to meet one of our wonderful supporters who wanted to meet Big Joe.  The vets office staff was talking about a dog that had been thrown into a drainage ditch next to the office.  She had been living in the ditch for about 3 weeks.  After observing this terrified and starving dog, our volunteer called Orange County Animal Control as this dog needed help right away...  An animal control officer finally arrived and made one, half-hearted attempt to catch this little girl, then left her behind.  She was so frightened she would run when anyone came near.  We have also learned that boys in the condos next to the ditch would throw rocks at her.

Our volunteer could not sleep thinking about this poor abandoned dog living in a drainage ditch without food or water.  After a few attempts to make friends with nice meals and fresh water (see the pictures) our volunteer gained this little girls trust.  After inhaling her food she would come to the chain link fence and give our volunteers hand gentle kisses of thanks through the fence.  She would come out a little more each time...  After one meal, our little friend hesitantly followed our volunteer back to her vehicle.  When our volunteer opened up her car door, little Lulu Belle was following in a safe distance.  Our volunteers said "You want to go bye-bye?"  That was it, Lulu was in the car!!!  We rushed her to All-Care Animal Referral, a 24 hour emergency clinic where she was given a clean bill of health.  Lulu Belle has known only cruelty and heartless treatment from humans.  We are showing her love and kindness.  When our volunteer called our founder to tell her about Lulu (who does not have a drop of German Shepherd Dog in her) our founders response was...  "She's with us now!!!"

Lulu Belle is a Australian Blue Heeler mix.  She weighs a petite 37 pounds, is around 12 months old, and is just a love.  She is looking for a family that will love and cherish her forever...  After only 2 days with German Shepherd Rescue, she is already learning to trust people.  When her rescuer went to visit with her, Lulu did the sideways walk wiggle-wiggle tail wag.  This little sweetie is going to make someone a very devoted, special little girl.

We have been told that we are not doing Lulu Belle any favors, as no one is going to look on German Shepherd Rescue's website and adopt an Australian Blue Heeler mix, but we think they're wrong...  Who gets to prove it?

Lulu Belle is in a foster home.  If you are interested in meeting her, please click on the button below and fill out our online adoption application, call (714) 206-9002, or email ShawnGSDRescue@aol.com.
