Red Stick German Shepherd Rescue in Baton Rouge is a dedicated group of people also. I adopted my German Shepherd from them. They work with the shelter and most of the shepherds that come through (a stunning amount) are fostered ASAP. Local Rescues are a much better way to donate money to animals in need.
You know what really bothers me? I have been following this story of two emaciated dogs rescue and recovery on Facebook, and even offered to donate to help with their recovery but all donations were turned down. The rescuer said she only wanted to educate others on helping emaciated dogs and did not need funds or to make money on it. Steadily they recovered into filled out happy dogs. Then a few days ago is a post saying that She wouldn't take any donations herself, but donations needed to be sent to a vet immediately to spay and neuter the two dogs or she was going to put them down.She went through the trouble of saving them and sharing their story to be willing to put them down so quickly and easily?!!!! She explained to someone's what the %^&$ with saying she'd rather kill them then let them have puppies. I get the no breeding thing but there are other freaking options! Foster one out to keep them separate, or SOMETHING! If I saved those dogs, I would go hungry to get one fixed quickly if I had to instead of making them healthy and happy just to kill them.
She sounds stark raving crazy or it was a scam. I don't believe anything on Facebook.
we have a lot in common.
