I know YGMN will probably move this, but I will try.

I have a friend that has a 3 yrs old Male German Shepherd, that needs Urgent Foster Care, like in the next 48 hours. If no one takes him, he will be put down. My friend can only care for the dog for short periods of time, and really needs someone to step up and save a wonderful dog. I have offered to help, but am in the same boat as her. So I thought I would reach out to my AV family, and see if anyone can give this wonderful dog a second chance.
 
Sorry to hear this.

:(

I do not understand, however, why the dog would have to be put down just because an owner was unable to maintain constant care.

There are many animal rescue sites in our area that would be happy to take the dog until a forever home could be found.

We rescued a dog a couple of weeks ago and while we were there filling out the paperwork, a family brought in a dog that proved to be just too much for them to handle.

The shelter took the animal, no questions asked.

If an individual can not be found quickly, I am sure the dog will have a decent chance for a forever home if you can just get it to a shelter.

Wish I was close by, I would consider seeing what I could do.

I hope for everyone's sake, this works out.
 
Update

Thank fully a couple from Vermont that trains large breeds and has a lot of experience with German Shepherds, heard about the situation and agreed to adopt the dog. He will definitely be happy, he's going to a home with 3 other Germans.
 
So awesome to hear James!  (y)

I am contemplating taking in another dog myself.. That is, if the owner will give him up. I offered to give him a forever home, but just waiting now to see if it happens.
