Our Featured Pet...Faith is one of the worst cases of abuse/neglect we have seen. She has demodectic mange but was never taken to the veterinarian. Instead her owners took her to a county shelter to be euthanized. She was kept tied outside with minimal shelter, food or water. She had 10 puppies while tied outside, all died from exposure. Faith will remain with Weeping Willow until her health is restored and she again becomes the beautiful German Shepherd that she is. Her medical expenses will be extensive, if you would like to help Faith, please contact Weeping Willow. Update: Check Faiths page to see how she looks after 3 weeks at Weeping Willow
Who We Are
Weeping Willow 2nd Chance German Shepherd Sanctuary is no-kill sanctuary for German Shepherds who find themselves in kill shelters or pounds, left abandoned, abused, or whose caregiver is no longer able to provide for them due to illness or death. We are located on 2-1/2 acres of grassy tree-lined property with a calming pond and Willow Tree greeting them to the Sanctuary, situated in Trumbull County, Lordstown, Oh.
Weeping Willow provides a permanent home and cares for German Shepherds that are not easily adoptable due to their age or handicap. We also provide temporary homes (with the ultimate goal of securing permanent homes) for German Shepherds that are adoptable, but who face euthanasia in a traditional shelter or who have medical problems that preclude them from living in a shelter and being considered unadoptable and thus scheduled for euthanasia. German Shepherds do not adapt easily to shelter situations. We will provide temperament testing by knowledgeable German Shepherd instructors along with some basic obedience and "manners".
If you are interested in adopting a new family member from our organization, please complete the online adoption application.
