I received this email from a friend of mine who has worked in rescue for decades. She no longer does active rescue, but traps, alters and releases wild cats. If anyone is interested in more information, please let me know and I will pass it on. She is in the Downingtown, PA area. Thanks all.
I am contacting every dog lover I know to see if anyone can help find a good home for Heidi. She is an adult German Shepherd who is being removed from her family today because the moron father is threatening to kill her. She is living with four active children, another German Shepherd and until last year, two cats. The kids love to play ball with her non stop.
Heidi has no history of aggression or any other problem. The stupid owners are the problem—as usual. Total morons.
First, they brought home a four-pound Yorkie puppy named Cocoa. Then they gave Cocoa free rein to run around with the two 100-pound German Shepherds and…you see it coming don’t you? Here it is: the stupid mother was cooking and she threw a chunk of pork on the floor to the three dogs. There was a rush for the chunk of meat and in the melee that ensued, the Yorkie was injured and died at the Vet’s.
Hello. Any brains in this family? (They previously put their one furry gray cat outside to get rid of her and someone threw acid on her, but the grandmother rescued her. Same with the other cat—rescued by, Carole D., the grandmother. She freely admits that her son and his wife should not have pets, that they get a pet then tire in a few days. I wonder how they are doing with the four kids?
Anyway, my anger aside, Carole D. is removing Heidi from the home today and boarding her in Fraser because her son is threatening to kill the dog. The kids are all hugging Heidi and crying. Nice.
We need to find her a good home by Friday.
I don’t feel that I can take her because my Baby is an alpha female and I fear that another female shepherd will also be dominant and fights will ensue while I am at work. Also, I have my little Gizzy and 28 cats to think about. I cannot leave a German Shepherd, which we all know has a strong prey drive and should not be mixed with small animals, alone with my crew.
Heidi is an older adult, very calm, good with kids, but no small animals.
Please call me if you know of a family or maybe an older couple or person who can give Heidi a good home.
Thanks for listening.

Just curious,
Why would someone catch, alter, and then release wild? (feral) cats?

So they don't multiply.

Does she do this altering herself?
Sorry but I have problems with feral cats that people have dumped and abandoned and shoot them on sight.
They do more damage than just reproduce here.
Not trying to cause a rift, I just can't imagine the thinking behind such an act.

Sorry Moons, City girl here. What damage do they do? Like you, I'm not trying to cause a rift, I'm just curious. I think of them clearing away rodents...to me, a positive.

No, she vets them, on her own dime. She's been doing it for years. She used to do dog rescue but near retirement, it would be too much now. She lives in a rural area and they are feral cats from farm litters. She feeds and water outside and alters the ones she can trap to keep the population down. If they bother the farmers, they're killed. If they stay near her place, they're free and have access to food and water. Some choose to stick around. There are some that need medication and those she houses in her garage. She's down to 2 of her own dogs and 3 cats. The rest are on meds. She's a very smart and compassionate lady.

They are predators and kill much more than just rats or mice.
They compete with other creatures also in a given habitat, spread deceases and parasites.
They do not belong in the wild.

I guess she must really love cats .....:)
by GSDtravels on 26 April 2010 - 18:04
I won't debate it either, not my call. She's a friend and knows of a GSD in trouble, that's the point of the post. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks!

She loves animals.
