North
Louisiana German Shepherd Rescue Needs YOU!
|
Each
year, thousands of animals are abandoned and must be euthanized
throughout Northern Louisiana due to pet overpopulation and lack of
shelter space. Since its inception, North Louisiana German Shepherd
Rescue has rescued, fostered, spayed/neutered, and placed many
companion animals, saving them from a heartless and unnecessary
death.
The situation is now
critical. NLGSR needs donations. We simply will not be able to
continue operations without financial support from dog lovers in our
community.
|
|
Each story is
different and many are heart-breaking, but in every case there is a common
thread: an animal that deserves a second chance at life and a permanent,
loving home needs us. Won't you please help?
We are in desperate need of funds and foster homes if we are to continue
operations.

Needed For Gina & Others Waiting For Medical Care |
|
 Gina
is a pretty 5 year old female that was originally a Katrina
dog. After the hurricane, Gina's family never claimed her so
she was adopted out to a wonderful man who loved her to bits.
Unfortunately now he has become quite ill and has had to return Gina
to rescue. Bless her heart; She's been through so much
already. We need financial assistance paying for Gina's hip
surgery before she can be placed with the perfect forever home.
DONATIONS
to help Gina or any of our medically needy dogs are so very much
appreciated and may be sent to our rescue by clicking the Paypal
button.
Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts for whatever you can do to help
defray our veterinary expenses & give these dogs the TLC they
deserve. No amount is too small.

Foster
Homes - the backbone of our organization
Foster homes are
the most important part of Rescue. We can only save as many dogs as we have
foster homes. A foster parent provides a safe and loving environment for
dogs until they are adopted. The foster home helps the dog learn basic
family skills if needed so they can be set up for success when they find
their forever home.
North
Louisiana German Shepherd Rescue
is an
all-volunteer network of foster homes with a commitment to save pure
bred German Shepherd Dogs from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Our
Mission is to rescue as many GSDs as possible from high-kill
shelters, most of whom would be euthanized without our help. Our
efforts are focused on helping these GSDs who, through no fault of
their own, find themselves in need and without families to love.
We
are a private non-profit charitable organization dedicated to:
- To adopt companion animals into loving forever homes.
- The establishment & coordination of a network of foster
homes in Northern Louisiana to ensure comfort & assistance
to all German Shepherd Dogs in need
- Evaluation of temperament, beginning basic training, medical
care, spay/neuter and all appropriate vaccinations are provided
for all adoptable dogs.
- To help reunite lost pets with their owners.
- To help those who due to personal circumstances find
themselves in a situation where they need to re-home their
German Shepherd Dogs, we offer courtesy posts and pre-screening
of potential adopters.
- To encourage the formation of that special bond between you
and your dog with behavioral and obedience training.
- To create lasting and comprehensive change in human behavior
toward animals through education about responsible pet
ownership, including the spaying & neutering of pets, and
about humane & respectful treatment of all animals.
|
To
Adopt A Dog from our organization, the first step is completing
our online adoption
application.  Everyone
must do so before an appointment is made to meet the dogs. Home
checks and vet references are required. If you can provide a temporary
foster home for a dog waiting for their forever home, we desperately need
you! Each new foster home we can add to our network means one more
life we can save! Please fill out the foster
home questionnaire.
When
Each Dog Leaves Our Care each will be up to date on vaccines,
spayed or neutered, heartworm negative and on preventative. It is our
goal that they go to a home where they are loved as a member of the family,
a home where they will be well cared for and where they will receive the
proper mental and physical exercise as well as the daily interaction
and affection that they need.

Message From Our
Founder
"The German Shepherd Dog has always been my favorite
breed. Lady, my first German Shepherd, was my best friend and guardian as a
toddler. Even though I don't remember much about her, she has had a lasting
effect on my desire to save this breed from the tragedy of people not
knowing how to care for them or train them properly.

German
Shepherds are wonderful family pets, very committed to their home
and family. They are smart. They are an active breed,
preferring to be kept mentally and physically stimulated. This
is why they have so many jobs all over the world and are the breed
preferred by many Police Departments, Military Units, Search and
Rescue, Narcotic and Bomb Detection Units, and Guide Dog
Associations.
Most
of the GSDs we rescue from shelters have not been taken care of
emotionally or physically but the most common reason that they have
ended up in shelters is that their people simply didn't care
enough; Did not care enough to properly ensure their safety
with fencing, to ensure that they had ID tags or were micro chipped
in case they got lost, Did not care enough to protect them from
preventable illness, Did not care enough to provide the structure
and training to avoid behavioral problems, Did not care enough to
simply bring them in the house, talk to them occasionally and tell
them that they were loved.
These
wonderful dogs need TLC. Their desire is to be part of your family,
not thrown out in the yard and left alone. He or she is your
new best friend, not to be abandoned or neglected, but to be loved
and treasured. We at North Louisiana German Shepherd Rescue
are here to help you form that special bond with your new family
member so that soon you will be telling others where you found the
best dog you've ever had."
