Our
Featured Pet...MEET SASHA! My name is Sasha and I got taken to the Richland County Pound after being hit by a car, they sent out pleas for a rescue to take me and Lake Erie German Shepherd Rescue along working with St. Francis Animal Sanctuary took me in and got me to the Avon Lake Animal Clinic, here is what happened when I was hit by the car after they took X- RAYS:
We are working with Lake Erie German Shepherd Rescue in Huron OH to save this babies life. She was picked up as a stray in Richland County OH. One of the pound workers told me she was to be "put to sleep" because of the injuries upon her entering the pound. She looked as if she was hit by a car because of the abrasions and lacerations on her rear leg and inability to stand or walk. The pound attendent thought she was just too young to die and put her on Petfinder. Here she may have a chance to be rescued. Sasha has a severe fracture to the right leg bone and several fractures in the pelvic area.
Sasha the 12 week old pup will need kennel rest for the next 6 weeks. She then must undergo another surgery to remove the pins from the fracture site. The doctors feel she has a very good chance of recovery.
The estimated cost for both surgeries now and in 6 weeks is $2,300.00. We are a 501(c)3 non profit group and donations are tax deductible. Please consider a donation for this young pup. She remains at the vet tonight. Her surgery was done July 3.

All potential adopters
are required to fill out an adoption application and sign an adoption
contract. Where applicable, a home visit may be required. Adoption
fees may vary depending on the costs rescue has incurred with a particular
pet. This fee will include UTD shots , rabies, HW test and spay/neuter.
The adoption fee of
each pet is listed in their bio on the pet list. ***PLEASE
NOTE*** Animals are not placed on a "first come, first served" basis.
Each application is evaluated before placing a pet to ensure that
the animal goes to the best possible home for him/her. Please note*
If you do not include full vet references, ie. name, phone number,
address, your application will not be processed. A vet reference
is required.
Please take into consideration
the expenses involved when questioning the adoption fee for our pets.
Here is a general breakdown of the expenses WE pay for vetting the
dogs in rescue. Pull fee-Fee paid to get dog from shelter-$25-$40. average. Vet office call $30.00
Spay/Neuter Surgery-$100. and up, depending on the size of the dog DLHPP
vaccine-$20.Rabies vaccine-$15. Heartworm check-$29.
Heartguard for one month-$10
Frontline Plus for one month-$15
Grooming (If required)-$25-$35 This does not include gas for transporting
the dog, food, shampoo, toys, collars, leashes, long distance telephone
calls made, and miscellaneous items such as cleaning products, crates,
etc. Some dogs even require
formal training or obedience before they can be adopted or have other
health issues that we treat before being placed for adoption such
as heartworm disease, mange, or ACL surgeries which easily run into
the hundreds of dollars. Please keep all of these expenses in mind
before questioning our adoption fees. 
Here is a link to my Blujay store to help support the furbabies I rescue out of the pounds, feel free to look around in here because this money all goes towards the dogs to help with food, rawhides, frontline and heartguard.
A special thank you to all who adopt
a rescued furbaby and remember this, "you actually saved two
lives, the one you adopted and the space you made available for us to save
another one!"
If any of you would like to help us help the furbaby's, you can save your weight circles from the PURINA DOG FOOD and send them to us, with these weight circles, we can redeem coupons for money off on dog food or for coupons towards our veterinarian bills which sure does help when we get a furbaby in that has special needs that we cannot afford out of our own pocket expenses.
A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO EVERYONE WHO HAS MADE A MONETARY DONATION TOWARDS LAKE ERIE GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUE. THE MONEY EITHER GOES FOR DOG FOOD OR VETERINARY BILLS FOR THESE RESCUED FURBABIESOur News
Who We Are
Lake Erie German Shepherd Rescue is a homebased operation. I have no formal shelter and all pets are fostered in my home. Some are shelter rescues, owner surrenders or animals currently living with their owners that require a new home. We are a not for profit organization. We are dedicated to the rehoming of neglected, abused and homeless pets whom have lost their homes through no fault of their own. We make every attempt to place a pet with the ideal home. Pets are evaluated and receive full vet care before being adopted. We are striving for the education of people about the plight of domestic pets and hoping that one day people will see that having their pets spayed or neutered is essential to preventing the overpopulation crisis out there.
Adopting a friend
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT A PARTICULAR FURBABY, EMAIL ME AND I WILL EMAIL YOU BACK AS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM WORK WHICH IS USUALLY AFTER 5 P.M.
Come Visit Us!
We are located in Northern Ohio right by Lake Erie and presently do not have a shelter. Animals are fostered in my home so I do not have a facility that can be visited. However, I am more than happy to arrange a meeting where you can meet the animal you are interested in prior to adoption.
