Mission is to
rescue German Shepherd dogs regardless of their age or adoptability.
The rescue will try to find these Shepherds approved
loving homes.
All the rescues
and my personal dogs live in my home as one balanced
pack.
My pack helps
me to rehabilitate shepherds in need.
Please note
before considering
a German Shepherd
The German Shepherd needs a
handler of
strong character and confidence. These dogs have
an uncanny ability to
sense weakness in their handlers "
-------
All of our Shepherds adopted out must
live in a home environment.
A little history of the Shepherd
" The
origins of the German Shepherd is attributed to a group
of Scottish monks. About the year 1000 AD the monks
created a new breed of watchdogs by crossing local
sheepdogs with wolves. The result was a breed of
intelligent, strong, fierce dogs which were easy to
train. The dogs proved to be an asset to the monks by
defending the monastery from marauders.
The
German Shepherd was first presented officially at the
Stutgart Dog Show in 1887. Because of its origin from
wolves, it was commonly but incorrectly called
"Wolf-Dog". From that time this magnificent dog has
achieved an undisputed reputation for loyalty, courage,
intelligence and tracking abilities.
In 1891
the Phylax Society was formed to help create and promote
standards in native German breeds. Three years later the
society disbanded, but it had set into motion the
foundations of the German Shepherd breed.
Captain
Max von Stephanitz is considered to be the "father of
the breed".
In 1899,
while visiting a show, he purchased a dog that had
impressed him. Captain von Stephanitz subsequently
formed a society, the "Verien fur deutsche Schaferhunde
(sv)". This marked the official beginning of the German
Shepherd breed.
During
World War II German Shepherd dogs were responsible for
saving thousands of lives: searching for wounded
persons, transporting medicine and messages under
artillery fire and acting as sentries. "
Lets help these great dogs, as they help us.
