Review for Give a Dog a Home Rescue, Sebec, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Sadly, one of the most noble breeds, the German Shepherd Dog, is no stranger to death row in kill "shelters". In fact, GSDs are the 3rd most oft killed purebred dog in one of these facilities. I network GSDs nationwide and believe me Texas certainly has a large number of GSDs on death row at any given time. Some are adopted, some are rescued, but far too many are murdered. Interestingly though, there's a subset of GSDs that we see in Texas that have a chance at rescue. These would be the hardship cases, the dogs that no other rescue will touch. Dogs with not just broken hearts and broken spirits, but broken bones to match. Some are dying from kennel cough or pneumonia. Some can't even move from paralysis. Some have skin conditions rendering them bald and leathery. Some have gaping wounds with festering infections. Time and time again I've seen these hopeless cases scooped up by Jenny of GaDaH. Without Jenny and GaDaH there'd be nope hope for these tortured souls. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing an 'after' picture of a dog who has been rescued by Jenny and in her loving care...the difference from the shelter picture is astounding. Jenny is often the only hope, the only bridge to life for these creatures. Thank heavens for GaDaH, a GSD in Texas' best friend.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
