This amazing boy needs a lifeline now. His last day is tomorrow 11/26!!!
For some reason Rowan Animal Shelter makes too many of the dogs there only be available if a certified 501c3 pulls them. This is even the case for many dogs that are not aggressive, rather merely only reactive out of pure fear & not knowing where they are and what is being done to them by total strangers (which is totally to be expected, especially for dogs that have been abused or severely neglected). It almost always is a death sentence for many of the very scared, afraid, and hurt yet very good dogs that should be allowed to be adopted by anyone versus only a 501c3 rescue having to pull them from ROWAN to keep them from being euthanized. I do not know who at Rowan AS makes the call on a rescue must pull and the dog not being "adoptable" by the public but it appears from observation of this repeated pattern there is not much compassion or understanding for why the dog may be reactive...given the situation & environment he/she is in. So very sad.

Meet Casper a estimated two year-old German Shepherd mix. He was found as a stray, and the lady described him as terrified. The shelter has made him rescue only due to that behavior! My heart breaks for him! He seems to be your typical German Shepherd. He also knows some commands! He needs structure and guidance someone that knows the breed well that could foster him. Please let us know if you can help him. He is heartworm negative and he has also been neutered by the Shelter vet. There is a very cute video of him that we will put in the comments.
