Hi Domenic,

I share your comments. I do want to remind all that when a dog is so emaciated as was this poor GSD, that it takes MANY months of proper care to bring him back from death. Still, the consequences of such starvation are that there may well be long-term effects which cannot be known at this time. I have seen it in some of the dogs I cared for in the past who were as emaciated as was this dog.

Hope you are well my friend.

I bet Courage thinks he died and went to heaven :)  Love the pics- brought tears to my eyes. He looks SO happy! I sure hope that he doesn't have any lasting effects from the starvation, but at least whatever time he has left will be a lot better than his past.  

 I know this dog will have it much better than he ever had it before. He reminds me very much of a dog I took in once named Buddy. He was an American bloodline GSD, the largest such GSD I ever saw in height. He probably should have weighed about 110 but weighed 45 lbs when I took him. Someone dumped him on a "friend" and the friend got pissed off when Buddy supposedly nipped at a horse, so she locked Buddy in the horse trailer and stopped feeding him. Apparently this went on for almost 7 weeks and when someone finally noticed him, and called the authorities, he was emaciated and essentially dying. It took many months to bring his weight and strength up. Fortunately for Buddy, he was eventually adopted by an older couple who always brought him to me over the years for boarding. We figured out that Buddy had EPI and we were able to manage that. He began showing signs of DM at about 10.5 years old which was so sad because Buddy loved to play soccer and was a great goalie. Sadly they had to put him down at about 12 years old. But they had cared for and loved him for 6 plus years and I know he thought he was in heaven. They adopted another dog from me a year ago and lavish her too with love.

Courage is one lucky fellow!

Sweetheart,that can only be possible cause of people like yourself who care enough about helping these poor dogs who would NOT have other options if it were not for people like yourself Sharyn.I will say this,my respect for rescues has grown leaps and bounds in the last couple or so years.These poor dogs need someone to care for them as well as the VA1's or the SCH3's.Its not there faults for being born not perfect looks wise or conformation wise or not quite high enough in drive etc.Its also not there fault cause some bastard or bastardess multi-litter a year breeder  decided to grab someones money  and  not match the pup and new owner properly.Most of these scum care about one thing and one thing only MONEY.They could care less about the dogs.They get there reputations by participating in the events and once they get a bit of recognition they are off to buy the best dogs in Germany and commence there MULTI litter a year puppy mills.Even if they themselves dont have the money to buy the expensive GSD's they always seem to find the investors with the big money.Anyway,its to early to let people as such ruin my day.One thing is for sure,I will definetely check the rescues before going to anymore breeders in the future.I have seen some very,very nice dogs come out of shelters and wondered why someone would give up a dog like that.Anyways,again a big thank you to all of you who care enough about these wonderfull GSD's to do the recue work.THANK YOU,THANK YOU.

MARVELLOUS!!! LOve the photos thank you so much for sharing them with us.

Warm Regards,

Rahul

Just thought that the people that took the time to care for Courage and make him feel love should be shown. There are good people out there and there are good dogs that deserve a good life whether they have titles are show or working or just a pet.They are all special to someone and they deserve love just the same.

The Nizato case is in the hands of DA Jennifer Bainbridge and her fax# is: 562/929-7626 It's up to Ms. Bainbridge whether they proceed with the case or not. We CANNOT let Kimberly Nizato walk. Please fax a kind but firm letter to Ms. Bainbridge seeking Justice for Courage. Courage deserves the freedom not the one that caused such trauma to him.
