Rescue Me - GSP Rescue Tales From The Front Lines: How Could You?
http://gsp-rescue.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-could-you.html
Sunday, September 30, 2012. In 24 hours in the state of Indiana, three senior German Shorthaired Pointers have been dumped at high kill shelters by their owners. Two separate families. One in Muncie, the other in Indianapolis. One male, two females. The male was said to be 9 (but is obviously older), the females are 13 and 14 years of age. Three in 24 hours in ONE state. Not a chance in hell. No way. Dear Owner #1,. How could you look into these eyes and think of abandoning him at a shelter? How could yo...

Saturday, May 21, 2011. Puzzle Pieces and Revelations From The Road. Today was a marathon transport day. Normally, we divide up transports in "legs" where each volunteer driver has about a 1.5 hour trip one-way. That was not possible today. There were three GSPs in need of a weekday transport. It's tough to find weekday help (after all, we all have to work), and even more challenging to find someone who can transport three large dogs at one time. So many questions.so much to do.so little time left. I sho...

Rescue Me - GSP Rescue Tales From The Front Lines: How Do You Measure A Sense Of Commitment?
http://gsp-rescue.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-do-you-measure-sense-of-commitment.html
Sunday, December 11, 2011. How Do You Measure A Sense Of Commitment? Last year, we took a lovely black/white female GSP from a KY shelter. This sweet, happy 5 year-old girl was nothing if not perfect. She never met a stranger, was well behaved, and enjoyed each and every moment. She was here for a short while, and I absolutely adored her. She was a joy to be around. My family and I adopted (now a 6 yo female Black/White GSP) from the rescue in July 2010 and in accordance with our adoption contract that i...

Friday, May 3, 2013. The Stuff That (Rescue) Dreams Are Made Of. Bear with me folks.this is gonna be a long one.but it must be told, as it is a testament to the amazing hearts and selflessness of rescue people. Then, more bad news. The female had mammary tumors down her left mammary chain, AND, a tumor/growth on her neck. Oy vey! Now I needed an even more special foster home, with the willingness and ability to see her through a somewhat complicated surgery, biopsies, and then heartworm treatment. I sent...

Rescue Me - GSP Rescue Tales From The Front Lines: The Chain Gang
http://gsp-rescue.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-chain-gang.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. When I moved to WV/OH in 2005, it was a complete shock. I had no idea how bad things were here. No idea. The rescue climate in New England is far different than here in the midwest and mid-south region. Completely and utterly different. Why? Three of Sassy's puppies at my home. I am not and I did not. I took the puppies and fostered them here temporarily until they moved on to individual foster homes. They were delightful, suprisingly healthy (despite low body weight and para...

Friday, December 7, 2012. One Good Turn Deserves a Denial? As the Parent Club, the GSPCA is charged with. Doing all in its power to protect and advance. The interests of the breed.". I am writing today to express my sincere disappointment in the GSPCA Board. I take rescue as seriously as I do my "paying" career, and always attempt to conduct myself in a professional and ethical manner. I do have strong opinions. After all, I have been in the trenches for many years, saving the lives of discarded ...Rescu...

Rescue Me - GSP Rescue Tales From The Front Lines: July 2011
http://gsp-rescue.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. The phone rang early on July 4th. It was a number I didn't recognize. The first words were, "I found your dog on College Parkway. He has been hit by a car. He is dead." I was confused. Not "my" dog. I asked where, what state? I made arrangements to take Paxton for a few weeks, until we could arrange transport to a foster home in Maryland. I drove to Lexington, KY, and I met the shelter volunteer in the Petsmart parking lot. Poor Paxton. He was so sweet, so scared, so st...I took hi...

Friday, May 18, 2012. For The Love Of Pete. So, in a few weeks, it will be four years since I lost Pete. I decided to take a tearful look at his 'tribute' video. It was long overdue. I needed this today. I needed HIM to remind me WHY I do this. Why I must move past this feeling of throwing in the towel, and keep going. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
