Our favorite GSD rescue GSRNC (Codie Rae, Wyatt Ray Dawg, and Travis Ray all owe their lives to this great group) wants to bring this sweetie into their program but we need a foster home for her. She is about 1 year old, from Monterey County, and was apparently run over by a tractor. One of her rear legs was hurt beyond repair so she will soon become a tripawd. She is currently with a rescue group but they are looking for a breed specific foster situation. Although GSD experience would be good what she really needs most of all is someone with…..you guessed it……tripawd experience.
If you live in northern California, preferably in the greater SF Bay Area, wont you consider giving this little girl a safe haven until she finds her furever home? Please PM my Mom Martha if you are interested! We'll keep you posted on any new developments.........

Damn...FOUR WEEKS TOO LATE....shoot, and with the puppy I just can't take on another one right now (what was I thinking with a puppy....tripawds are WAY easier)
Hoping she finds a wonderful home

She is so beautiful but I just literally brought home a 7-1/2 week old puppy today. I'll try to post (I'm not so good at that stuff) on my FB...we can hope.

Looks like this girl has found a foster home but she still desperately needs a furever home, so let's not forget her and keep trying oK?

Driving Miss Daisy Rae
sooooo long for my mom to post for me. Miss Daisy Rae is in a grrrrrreat
foster home! Last Sunday 4 dedicated GSRNC volunteers (my mom among
them) did a relay for this little cutie from Salinas to Chico. She was
already gettin’ around like she had been a tripawd furever. Mom sez
Daisy Rae was full of kisses (oooooh, wish I had bin there) and just as saweeeeet as her name. Wyatt buddy, you had this girl pegged from the start, didnja!
So, Miss Daisy Rae is hangin’ at her foster home, havin’ a great time
with her foster sister (another young GSRNC girldawg, ohhhh man I wish I
could drive!) and she gets her staples removed next Tuesday. Then we
are thinkin’ she will be a.v.a.i.l.a.b.l.e! So pick a number, stand in
line folks, for the sweetest ‘lil tripawd grrl on the planet! Here are
some pix–on her way to Chico in the cone and then coneless (and much
happier!) at her foster home. We’ll know more about Daisy Rae soon–she
is closer to 8 months old than a year and has a little growing to do but
she will be a little girl, at least compared to me! Her foster mom says
Daisy Rae doesn’t know how to play with toys (but is learning fast),
will be a good watchdog (must bark a little 
) , and follows her everywhere around the house. Start thinkin’ about it tripawd peeps! Daisy Rae needs Y.O.U!!!!

Oooohhhh! I want her, I want her she's sooo cute! We were a 3 dog house once apon a time (3 different dogs than we have now) and it didn't work out so well. I work so much now, that I sometimes feel I'm short-changing the ones I've got. She is so adorable, I bet she finds the perfect pack really soon. Thanks so much for sharing the great pictures!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

That's quite the breed you in NorCal specialize in these days: tripawd GSD. I can't believe there are so many! (But they all look like terrific pups, even you Wyatt Ray !) Best wishes to sweet Daisy Rae!

If there's hope for Wyatt Ray there's hope for all the GSDs who need homes!
