  TX GSD Rescue CLOSING, dogs in need Reply Contact NOT just GSD...some Akitas, Anatolian/Pyrs, Rotties etc...mixes as well. Spread the word! Cross post as you like.   Hello all, Please pass this information to everyone you can to help move these dogs into other rescues or permanent homes. They have predominantly German Shepherds but there is also a Great Pyrenees, Akita's, Rotties, and some other breeds and a few mixes as well. I spoke to Neisha and she said the best way to communicate is via email contact, see below. They also need transport volunteers. Dogs that are not adopted or moved will have to be relinquished to other kill shelters or euthanized. I am trying to convince my hubby that we need one of the 13 yr olds as everyone knows they will not be considered by most people. The dogs have until Oct 30. ***************************************************************************************************** Camp Wolfgang near Dallas (Ennis, TX) is closing. Last day in service will be 10/30/2009. They have 198 GSD's there as of this morning, down from >400 earlier this year. They are closing due to decreased funding. It costs over $15,000 per month to keep the rescue open with the number of dogs and type of care they provided. The closing is a decision that was difficult, but it is made. So they MUST move the dogs out. They will have NO choices with any dogs that remain when the date comes. If you want to send a donation to assit with transport costs that would be much appreciated. Please go to their site athttp://www.campwolfgang.org/ to donate. Time is of the essence. If you know anyone who can adopt, accept a dog into their rescue, or help in any way, contact Neisha Livengood, kennel master at Camp Wolfgang.

  Re: TX GSD Rescue CLOSING, dogs in need Reply Contact Hello forum, Club K9NorthWest (a Seattle based club) is about to make some trips to take in some of Camp Wolfgang’s burden. If anyone is in the Seattle area we are asking the communities for any assistance you can give. We need crates and are taking donations for fuel. We are also looking for fosters in this area. All foster’s expenses (in reason) will be reimbursed. Thank you for any help you can give, we are just trying to help these dogs have a chance. www.k9northwest.com

  Re: TX GSD Rescue CLOSING, dogs in need Reply Contact   I received a call tonight from one of my Texas friends who passed this info on to me.  All the dogs except 5 GSDs have been placed.  Out of the 5 that are left, 4 have serious temperament problems and one is very old.  People and rescues from all over the US have reached out to them. Thanks to all the people that have helped. http://vankelderdogs.dutchbingo.net http://www.schhmi.com
