Site of the Day: Virginia German Shepherd Rescue


Today's site may not be in the 'fashion, food and fun' category, but it is a cause near and dear to our hearts. It's the German Shepherd Rescue organization in Northern Virginia and Maryland. Deacon's sister, Elizabeth, was a rescue Shepherd, and we're thrilled to be able to contribute to this worthy cause.

(The dog on the left is Duke, a nine year old Shepherd given up by his family after they could no longer afford to take care of him. This long-haired boy was raised by the same family since he was a puppy.)

Not sure if you loyal readers out there have dogs of your own, especially not Shepherds, but these dogs are among the smartest, most loyal and loving out there. Many of the dogs on this site have been given up for rescue due to the hardships of their families given today's economic situation, while others were unfortunately abandoned. VGSR helps 'foster' these dogs until they find new, loving homes.

A portion of all proceeds from Friday's Deacon Does DC launch party will go towards assisting these puppies in need.
