It is with Heavy Heart that I must say goodbye to my love of this rescue that was born out of a Love for the breed and witnessing too many Shepherds being killed due to mis-understanding of the breed. Its been almost 7yrs that the rescue began and we have achieved much more than I ever dreamed. Hundreds of dogs from the States and locally have been saved. Im still working on getting an exact number. A guess would be about 600 dogs that would have died if ECGSR has not stepped in to save them. As you know it hasnt always been just Shepherds because the reality is we love ALL dogs and all deserve a loving home. Rescuing dogs has given me so much joy and the wonderful group of volunteers that make all of this happen are Angels that walk among us. To them I am so grateful. Lucky for me I also met Jason through this rescue who shares a love of dogs with me. He adopted several dogs from me over the years and when we merged homes, I got them all back.

Since my daughter (Rehtaeh) left us in April, my life has been extremely difficult to say the least and my heart is shattered trying to make sense of it all. Mourning our loss and fighting for justice has been overwhelming. I am unable to continue rescuing dogs and the ECGSR will be dissolved. At this time, we still have commitments to a few dogs that are coming. The rescue will continue until all the dogs are adopted and our vet billse are paid off. We still have some events and will complete everything that was already planned.

Future? This page will remain so that we can still hear from you and everyone who has adopted from us in the past. We LOVE updates and that will not change. On occasion we may take in a dog here and there to find a home but the Society will be finished. A huge THANK YOU to Kelly Hunt for taking the reigns back in April and running things so well. She and our wonderful volunteers are the reason that the rescue has flourished when my life fell apart.
