RESCUED!!! CHAINED White German Shepherds – Carrollton, KY

Two CHAINED White German Shepherds

Their story began three years ago, Christmas Eve, when a mother picked up two sweet White German Shepherd puppies for her two young sons. She had lost her husband to an accident just two months earlier. Her husband’s dream had been to own one of these beautiful dogs. In an attempt to fill the void left by the loss of their father, this well meaning mother got not one but two puppies that Christmas for her sons.

We all know what happens from there…

These beautiful and smart puppies grew extremely fast until they were 6 months old and very big. With no experience handling this type of dog, the mother and sons did not understand the need to train and give these smart boys something meaningful to do. Now she had not one but two very large and very unruly puppies. The puppies were moved to a fenced area in the backyard but as most GSD’s who are bored do…they learned to create their own excitement. One learned to climb and jump out of the 5 ft enclosure and the other followed by digging out. Not knowing what to do, the mother put them on cables to keep them in.

Now, understanding the mistakes that she made in an emotionally driven decision to bring home these Christmas Eve puppies, their owner is willing to surrender them to rescue so that they can have a second chance for the life that they deserve.

Can ANYONE help these boys?

The owner is willing to surrender them to get them into loving, inside homes.
DUE TO THEIR SIZE AND LACK OF TRAINING, A GSD RESCUE OR EXPERIENCED HOME IS NEEDED.

Conditions for them are very poor. Both are outside with minimal shelter attached to cables with choker chains in the mud. Very sweet boys looking for lots of affection. They kept “hugging” onto me so it was hard to get any good close ups. I would suspect that Shadow would get along with another dog as a playmate. He was in the same fenced pen (although cabled separately) as another dog and shared the same food dish. The other male, Bear, has a more dominate personality toward dogs but is VERY people friendly. They are both untrained and do jump on people but very responsive to attention. Bear is a fence jumper and Shadow is a digger.

I was not able to test them with another dog. My initial impression is Bear would need to go to an only dog or submissive female home. Shadow would probably get along with another dog in the family with training. I believe they could both be wonderful companions with proper exercise, patience, and training. Please email for more details.

These boys should be separated for foster or adoption. Bear (dominant) picks on Shadow. They have not received vet care since they were 6 months old. Please consider sponsoring them if you cannot offer rescue or adopt. Donations made will go directly to get them off the chains, cleaned up, neutered, updated shots, and heart worm tested. I have an appointment to get them in for vet care on Tuesday, January 12, if the funds are raised to pay for their care in time. Please help me get them off their chains and inside.
