Eldad seems to do decent work. If I lived in the Los Angeles area, I’d probably support him.

God’s blessings on this wonderful man. How anyone can abuse an animal or neglect them is beyond me.

Very nice!

You could tell this dog knew this man was there to help him. I love Sheppard's!

Many people are trash. Look at the number of abused and neglected children and elderly.

I hope that this site, this guy, are real 'cause about all I've ever done is crawl into the bushes with a hot dog and a leash or just sit down with the hot dog and repeat "come on buddy" until the dog relaxes enough to be touched and leashed; about then they are usually happy to go for a walk and then to the vet.

Gotta give the guy credit; I'd have been pretty much frozen stiff half way up that ladder (and and I collected legitimate jump pay for a couple of years).

Another great German shepherd rescue story from Fairbanks, Alaska. Hopefully this one will have a good ending as well.

A big thumbs up to Alaska Airlines who put Thor in cabin instead of cargo on his way to treatment in Sacramento CA.

From the video only: I am guessing the German shepherd was abandoned because of bad hips. When you see him standing with his rear legs close together it is an indication of hip dysplasia.

I’m glad to see there are people like this in the world. Thank goodness for the saving of Biggie.

Does anyone know if he got adopted?

What kind of lowlife dumps their dog when it develops a health problem?

According to the video, Biggie is with Coastal GSR but not on its list of available dogs. Usually a situation like this requires a couple of weeks to evaluate how adoptable a dog is.

There have been lots of shepherds begging for adoption in the Los Angeles area lately.
