Sometimes we see and hear stories that just make us sick. You would think after doing rescue for a very long time, we would be desensitized to the stories of neglect, but we are not. Josie's story is a very sad one.....

Josie's story starts at the North Central Animal Shelter. (Note the picture of her with the shiny black coat and joy for life) She is then adopted from North Central and months later (we are not certain how many months) she arrives at the East Valley Shelter in the condition you see here.

We are horrified at the neglect that this dog has had to indure. It is painful to look at her hairless body but we can not imagine the pain that she is in daily.

Coastal German Shepherd Rescue OC is working to find a foster home for Josie. We are also raising funds to pay for her medical care and boarding care is a foster home is not found.

Please help us care for Josie. We will promise her that she will never be neglected again!
