What a great story. You are great for doing this!
Also so tragic that people would just abandon the dog parents and puppies w/o making any attempt to take them to a local humane society. The process (of taking the animals to the humane society) is not that hard and is usually free.
I wish only the worst on the people who so callously abandoned these dogs and their puppies.
Ah I really appreciate your compliment, but I cannot accept great, even though I feel great on the inside since doing it.
She is great! I cannot understand how anyone could abandon her. She is so affectionate, loyal and fun to be with. From what the dog rescue outfit told me, this couple was breeding GSD, then fell on bad times in the marriage. Apparently both of them wanted the dogs, then neither of them wanted the dogs, so the dogs were left in the yard of the empty house...
I was just a very sad man who lost his dog of 14 years 3 days earlier. I wasn’t thinking I’d get another dog, because they are expensive and when they die...it’s one of the worst times ever.
But on the third day it became clear to me that the only way to let the sadness out is to open the heart and let love in, so I googled german shepherd rescue outfits for nw florida, and hers was the first picture I saw. 2 days later I was driving home with her <3 <3.
What truly made me feel good was to see this skinny girl put muscle on her, to see her coat thicken, to see her run in my yard fetching her ball and then to play soccer with her, to walk her down the bike path to the horse and goat fields and watch her watch them, to feed her a piece of almost every single thing I eat, and to wake up with her jammed up next to me in my bed every day.
She needed me, and I needed her, and now we are best friends for life!
