German Shepherd Rescue

 

Occasionally, Kridler's German Shepherds helps foster abandoned Shepherds from various local shelters. We take them in, update vaccines, have them spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, and assess temperament. We require a $250 adoption fee, and a multi-page application for each of these dogs.  Contact Tari at 330-549-0310; best time is after 8 pm.

Miska is a 5 year old spayed female. She is does not do well with other female dogs or cats. She is also house-trained. The owner was "just going to leave her in the garage" if I didn't take her. Click photo to enlarge.

"Baby" was found in an abandoned home nearby. She is about 4 years old and very friendly. She is a happy dog, has no issues with other dogs, children, or even cats. She seems to be house-trained. She will be spayed and UTD on vaccines very soon. She does not have any training, but is learning very quickly to sit, down and stay.

**ADOPTED**

Good Morning Tari.  I just wanted to take a minute and get you up to date on Hank, or as I call him, Bubba or Hanky Panky. He is such a wonderful dog. Totally devoted to me, never leaves my side, courageous and loving.

   Very intelligent, he knows and obeys all obedience commands, inside and outside the house, on and off leash.

   He still does not like having a leash on, as he cannot tolerate the collar pulling on his neck.

   He gets along with Sasha and Bippa, my little rat terrier who is 13 years old, and loves to play with his toys. He is rather obsessive about the toys and sometimes drives me nuts.

   I have taught him to talk to me on command and now I cannot keep him quiet! He is always willing to do anything I ask of him and always ready to ride in the car.

   He waits at the door and the stairs for me to go first, and then call him to come. He now shakes hands, both paws, and just recently learned to lay down and roll over on command for the wonderful belly rub! What a guy.

  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me adopt him. I love him with all my heart.

Your Friend,

Anna

** ADOPTED**

 

"Char" was brought here by friends of the previous owners, as the owners were evicted and had to go to a Rescue Mission.
This is a this Very Friendly and Sweet small-sized female at 8 months old. 
Born May 13, 2008, but she does not have AKC registration papers. She was raised with three children and three small dogs. She is house-trained and up-to-date on vaccines. 
She must be spayed and microchipped before adoption.

 


 

Update: 01/21/09

** ADOPTED**

This poor guy was on his LAST day at the Mahoning County Pound and something in his eyes said we needed to get him.

He is super sweet, very, very, intelligent. He is also tremendously thin, weighing just 60 lbs.  His estimated weight should be 90+ lbs.

He is a large boy, neutered by us, UTD on vaccines, HW tested and microchipped - thanks to funds from Last Hope Safe Haven Rescue. 

We will "fatten" him up and hope to find him a great home. He listens like a dream and knows several commands - even post anesthesia! He looks to be 2 to 3 years old and has not shown any dog or people aggression. He was a stray.
 

Contact Tari for adoption information. We would prefer a home without small children, only because he is older and we are unsure if he has any experience with kids.
 

UPDATE: 12/02/08
We have named this guy, "Hank." He continues to gain weight, loves everyone, and wants only to be with people 24/7.

8/2/07 We heard about this guy, about to be euthanized at the Columbiana Co. Pound.

 

OH So thin - 53lbs - 40% underweight. Neck wound from embedded collar, ears severely infected, and still VERY Happy-Go-Lucky!

 

We will do our best to save him, if possible, and keep you updated on his progress.  He is approximately one year old, neutered, UTD on shots, HW checked, and Not Good With Cats. 

8/10/07 Update: "Buddy" has gained 5 lbs. And since his ear cleanings and medication, he even has one ear almost up.  He is a super loving dog.

 


 

12-28-07 ** ADOPTED** Meet New Rescue "Annie"

1rescueannieface.cm2  1rescueannieside.cm2

** ADOPTED**"Annie" as we are calling her, was about to be put to sleep at the Trumbull ,Ohio Animal shelter when Rescue Friend Vicki called and asked if there was any way I could make room to take this sweet, very scared, under weight girl. She is a Small (54 lbs), red sable, purebred Czech-line, VERY SMART. Approximately one year old!

 

She is Spayed, HW Neg, UTD on All Shots, and Microchipped. She shows no dog aggression or cat prey drive, but she is "Mouthy." She will play bite and even grab your hand, but TOTALLY not in a mean way. She just needs guidance and obedience training, which we will start this week.   She is very clean and more than likely housebroken. We prefer a home for her with Older Children, and a fenced in back yard.

Tasha is a beautiful 3 year old female that is being fostered at Vicki Burkey's. She is very happy-go-lucky, clean and friendly with other male dogs. She is UTD on vaccines, HW Neg, and spayed.  She must go to a family with a fenced yard. 

 


1/20/07 This is such a sad story that we have decided to leave his pictures up on the site indefinitely in order to remind those that view this page. Please Rescue a German Shepherd. NO DOG DESERVES what Josh went through.

 

On 10/2/06... New Addition to our Rescue Family... Meet "Chance" (New Name is Josh)

Sadly, these are the pictures of him from today. He was picked up by the police and will be fostered at Carol Hansen's until able to be seen by a veterinarian.

Josh will not be ready for placement for approximately 1-3 months, after he is neutered and UTD on all shots and heartworm checked.

He is very sweet and looks to be about one year old. Donations for his food/care are greatly appreciated and will go directly to his Foster Mom, Carol.

 

10/6/06  Josh was picked up with help from Karen Teplitzky. 

He has very labored breathing and his coat is falling out in our hands. His breath has a funny odor and he is weak. He will be at the vet on Monday, thanks to Angels for Animals, unless he takes a turn for the worse over the weekend.

We decided to name him "Josh" as the story is that every dog named "Chance" doesn't make it back out of Angels. So, Josh is in LOVING hands now, and we'll keep you updated. 

THANK YOU CAROL & Karen.

 

10/13/06 GOOD NEWS Josh is Heartworm Negative. Thanks to Angels for Animals for Updating him on shots, including Rabies, and we are going to wait for weight gain, then neuter him. He is gaining slowly, but he is GAINING.

 

Sad NEWS....10/23/06 Josh has Passed. He developed Pneumonia and with ALL our attempts at saving him, his immune system was just too weak.  Our Hearts are BROKEN. 

 

This poem was written by Dave for the Memories of "Josh."

 

Life is filled with difficult things 
With pain and sorrow and woe, 
Life would be a wonderful thing 
Except for the sorrow we know 
 
Beautiful sunsets, the cheerful smile 
Are sometimes lost to our heart 
When terrible things, tear at our soul 
When bonded friends must part 
 
The loss of love, the dashing of dreams 
The hopes that we had, not a few 
The wonderful times, the devotion shared 
The moments, life found anew 
 
Gone in a moment, lost in our tears 
Absent that wonderful touch 
How to survive so great a loss 
Of the one we loved so much 
 
But time passes on and days come and go 
And we are not left without 
Memories that touch us, time after time 
And leave a warm glow about 
 
The days filled with love, adventure and fun 
The warm, calm peace at day's end 
I would not have had it, it would not be mine 
Except for the love of my friend 
 
Sleep now my partner, your love remains 
Leave me to suffer my pain 
Until all the sorrow, grief and great loss 
Give way to fond memories again 
 
There is no pain where there is no value 
No loss where there has been no joy 
There is no life unless we are giving 
Places for love to employ 
 
- David Fritsche
