Hello to all,
I live in Jackson, WY and own a 4 year old GS, my hb has trained him a lot and he's a sweetheart. I love the breed, and have been on another forum trying to help with rescues, but GSD West makes more sense since I can certainly help a lot more.
I am going to start walking dogs at our local shelter, which a no kill shelter, yahoo!
Glad to meet you all,
~A

Hi Audelin ,
I am in Colorado and we often take dogs from Wyoming and so maybe we can work together sometime . I have a friend that lives south of Jackson . I often take dogs from the Riverton Wy shelter and of course the Casper metro is a nightmare for GSDs . Just recently took some puppies from there . Don't be bashful on the forum . if you find dogs that are in kill shelters please post them. Just make sure they aren't already posted .
What forum were you on ? was it german shepherds.com ? I also belong there as do most but so much of it is in the east . We need experienced forum people on GSDwest to keep it busy and interesting . Glad that you joined GSDwest !

Hello Connie,
thanks for the welcome and I was directed to this site by someone on the forum you mentioned. You are right, it's mostly east side based, and I asked about the west.
I must say that forum is VERY active and I'm a little disappointed to see that this one is a bit slower, but anything help, so I will be around.
I'm not sure how you find out about dogs in shelters all over Wyoming, is it on PetFinder? I know of the shelter in Idaho Falls, but in Jackson, it's a no kill one.
I'll be glad to help in any way, I'll check daily, but can also be contacted personally.

I wish that people would post on this forum more but at least the dogs are getting seen even if the people out here aren't as talkative .

I love this forum! I think it's great for rescues to be able to come here and find dogs that they might help. Wonderful idea. Dianne

hi Audelin:
It's me from new Mexico again. How we find the dogs? Well, Connie sends me some to post. I find others from alerts on GSDs that I have and maria, in CAlifornia, sends me at least a dozen a week! Maybe it only seems that way. California has so many that they have their own forum. I am still behind the eight ball with this forum. First, I had my knees replaced in September, didn't do much on the computer for several weeks, then got back to work, and then my computer (a Mac) was overtaken by grelims -- twice! So I am using my husband's non mac, which is not as clever as a Mac, but not as dumb as a Windows machine either, as he is running Linux and Ubuntu. But you know how it is, one has to learn some new keystrokes. Since I am suffering from post anesthesia brain, learning anything is a chore right now. And I am very slow. Mac says my machine is under repair as i type, so I hope it's back with me soon. They are incredible. I think their engineers work a 24 hour shift.
Dianne

Hi Audelin - I am also from Colorado and would like to welcome you! In 2007 I was fortunate enough to adopt a wonderful boy from Connie's rescue - you can see his pic and read his story in the Happily Adopted section - his name was originally Dolf, we renamed him Conor, so both names are listed. Connie does an awesome job, and I think you will like this forum - yes, it's a little quiet, but I like to think it's quality rather than quantity.....
Enjoy your visits here!

Love Your LifeHowever mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The faultfinder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. Which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.2010 Wedding Gownswedding dressglovebridal gownscheap bridal gowns2010 Wedding DressesFlower Girl Dressesbridal gownsProm Dressbridemaid dress2010 bridemaids dressesMother of bride dressesProm Dresses2010 bridemaids dressesMother of bride dressescouture wedding dressesProm DressProm Dress2010 bridemaids dressesMother of bride dresseswedding dressProm Dresses2010 bridemaids dressesProm Dressesbridemaid dressbridemaid dress
