Austin Nestie XP: German Shepherd rescue near Dallas closing
I hope you ladies don't mind me popping in to post, but there are some really great dogs near you all that need good homes.
Here's the story. Camp Wolfgang just south of Dallas is closing at the end of the month. Dogs that are not adopted will reportedly be moved to high-kill shelters or euthanized. GSDs are close to my heart, so if you or someone you know in the area is looking for a great family dog, slightly neurotic, protective of your home, and just plain awesome, consider a shepherd from Camp Wolfgang.
Here's a photo of our big bear ~ Kona ~ he puts up with a lot and just keeps on lickin:
Re: Austin Nestie XP: German Shepherd rescue near Dallas closing
I hope it works out for you to rescue one of these guys (or girls). If you do, I'd love to hear about it (I'm always on the Austin board). Good luck!!
I just received this notice in my email:
Wally Swanson, a former Dallas attorney, started the wonderful Camp Wolfgang rescue in Ennis, Texas in 2001 to "rescue and rehabilitate at risk German Shepherd Dogs and place them in loving homes" .... sadly, Camp Wolfgang is being forced by financial issues to shut its doors and move all of its current inhabitants by October 31, 2009.
Camp Wolfgang has nearly 200 adoptable dogs, who are healthy, friendly, vetted, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and well cared for. Many have had training.
Camp Wolfgang is asking rescue organizations to take any dogs whom they can. They are asking individuals to adopt or foster.
Adoption fee is $75.00. Dogs are FREE to verifiable rescue groups.
Current dogs: (approximate), www.campwolfgang.petfinder.com
120 PB German Shepherds
2 Akitas
1 Anatolian/Great Pyrenees
4 Purebred Rottweiler
1 Great Dane/Lab
1 Boxer/Mastiff
1 St. Bernard/Akita
1 Wolf Dog (We know there is actually no such thing as a wolf dog)
45 Other mixed breeds
Dogs are available for viewing. Time is of the essence!
If you know anyone who can adopt, accept a dog into their rescue, or help in any way, call or email Neisha Livengood. Please call/email Camp Wolfgang only if you are interested in adopting, fostering, or rescuing a dog (s), or can help in some other tangible way.

Unfortunately they are no puppies or cat friendly dogs. I wish I could help.
I just saw a news story that the place will stay open until all of the dogs are found homes.
