NORWALK – Kimberly Nizato, the woman who surrendered her severely emaciated dog to an acquaintance in spring 2010, pleaded no contest Monday to a single charge of felony animal cruelty.
The Bellflower resident was working as a kennel assistant at an Irvine veterinary hospital when she relinquished the ailing 3-year-old German shepherd. She was arrested April 16, 2010.
The dog weighed 37 pounds at the time and was named Courage by German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County, which claimed responsibility for his care.
Veterinarians testified last year at a preliminary hearing that the dog ate dirt and rocks to survive.

Thanks for that!
This is the kind of animal you set a plate for at a BBQ feast. Steak, chicken, anything he wants! My little guy has a hankering for fried chicken livers.
Courage, you can have anything in my freezer pal!
GOOD DOG!!!!
I thought members of your German Shepherd ping list might be interested in this update to Courage, the German Shepherd’s story.
My neighbor across the street has a rescued German Shepherd. Her name is Julie. She is such a happy girl. She was tied up and abandoned. My neighbor took her from the pound before she was to be euthanized.
