Subject: Need a source for a Miami rescue organization

Hello-

I work at a school in Dade county. There is a dog that has been living in our field for the few days. He appears to be a German Shepherd or something similar. He is a relatively young dog- I would guess less than 2 years old, and is in good shape except for the fact he has one back leg that he doesn’t use. (May have been hit by a car because he hops on the other three legs.) He is a very sweet dog, but is a bit timid at first.

"I tried to search for a Shepherd rescue group in Miami-Dade or Broward county and could not find any. Yours was the closest. Do you have any contacts in this area that may be able to help him? I don’t want to call the Animal Control because I know that they sometimes euthanize animals that are hurt. I thought a Shepherd rescue group might be able to get this sweetie a home. This is the last week of school for us so the teacher that has been feeding him will not be here after Friday. In other words, we need help quick! Please let me know if you have a suggestion! "

What a nice looking Mali! Poor guy.

Well, has anyone at least contacted local AC/humane societies to see if anyone is looking for him? They usually keep lists of inquiries. Someone may have called them looking for this dog. You don't have to tell them where he is.

Also, you don't want AC to pick him up, but living outdoors in pain, and in Miami heat???? That's not a good life.

I don't think they want Miami AC to know about him at all...it's a high kill shelter. An injured animal is probably toast.

I guess this explains the number of GSDs in shelters down there:

There are Mali rescue groups there, I will forward to them....wish I was closer..steph

"I don't think they want Miami AC to know about him at all..."

But they might have been called about him! Maybe someone is trying to find him.

At least call veterinarians; they might have gotten calls asking if he's been brought in. I dunno, maybe you mean well, but leaving an obviously injured dog to suffer in the open and try to whisk him away to a new home without even asking if someone is trying to find their pet....geez.

They DO have a person willing to pay for all his vetting, Steph.

TessJ10.... This dog is not in VM's possession, as she is on the West coast. She is simply passing information along as a good rescue should. VM, maybe you could call anonymously to see if anyone is missing/looking for a male red Malinois?

Well THIS is interesting....you guys seen this site before?
