German Shepherd Rescue - URGENT

A German Shepherd rescue group called Camp Wolfgang, in Ennis, Texas is closing down on 31 October. They had nearly 200 dogs that must find a foster or be adopted before 31 October or they ALL will be EUTHANIZED. I don’t normally solicit with this type of request on this blog, but this is URGENT! All the dogs are vetted, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, well cared-for and many have had training.

If you cannot help by fostering or adopting...YOU CAN STILL HELP!!! Please forward this information to everyone you know...if we all forward this to everyone we know, chances are good that many of these dogs can be saved!

They do not need or want donations, they simply MUST place all of the dogs.

Adoption fees are $75.00, free to verifiable rescue groups.

Current dogs: (approximate)
120 German Shepherds
2 Akitas
1 Anatolian/Great Pyrenees
4 Purebred Rottweiler
1 Great Dane/Lab
1 Boxer/Mastiff
1 St. Bernard/Akita
1 WolfDog
45 Other mixed breeds

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.
