About this campaign
All Shepherd Rescue (ASR) is a 501(c)(3) dog rescue whose mission is to match adoptable, lovable Shepherds and mixes with their forever family.
We strive to match the personality and needs of each dog with their new home. We want each placement to be a WIN-WIN; making each a terrific match.
Funds raised in this campaign will be used, by ASR, to help our dogs.
Shelters and Rescues nationwide are overflowing with dogs being euthanized regularly. ASR is helping as many dogs as we can. We need your help as we find ourselves with an increasing number of incoming dogs as families are impacted by changes in the economy and more dogs are left in shelters.
In the last year, ASR brought 6 Heartworm positive dogs into our Rescue. These dogs probably would not have survived in their respective shelters.
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease caused by foot-long heartworms that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets. These deadly parasites may cause severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs. The worms are spread through the bite of a mosquito. The dog is a definitive host, meaning that the worms mature into adults, mate, and produce offspring while living inside an infected dog.
Heartworm disease is a preventable disease if dogs are given their monthly heartworm preventatives. Infected dogs can be successfully treated but it is a lengthy, expensive process – usually 4-6 months.
Lil Bit (AKA Gus) was successfully treated and adopted by his foster family. Star and Xeno are currently in the mid cycle of their treatments. Bonnie, Clyde and Penny24 are just beginning their treatments in their respective foster homes. ASR is picking up 100% of the costs for their treatments which average between $1300-$1600 per dog.
With your help, All Shepherd Rescue can continue to commit to saving dogs and connecting them with their forever families.
Please support ASR, so we can continue to provide for dogs in need.

MEET SWEET PENNY
Penny24 came to us from a small shelter in North Carolina. Although this shelter tries to find every
healthy, adoptable pet a good home, they are not a No-Kill facility. Penny’s joining the ASR family,
probably saved her life.
We don't know anything about Penny's past, but we know that, today, she is an affectionate, happy dog,
great with people and other dogs. Upon Intake, her physical appearance (ribs showing , almost 20 lbs
underweight) and her behavior (she cringes as if she was not treated well before), led us to believe that
her past life was not good. She is doing well in her foster home, learning how to enjoy life in a loving
family home.
Unfortunately, when ASR had Penny tested for Heartworm and various other vector-borne diseases, she
tested positive for heartworm disease. She has started her treatment - 28 days of doxycycline before
beginning the melarsomine injections which will kill the adult heartworm. Her loving foster family has
agreed to take Penny through the treatment process, if an Adopter isn’t found in the interim. (ASR pays
for the heartworm treatment costs whether the dog is adopted or in a foster home.)
Penny is a sweet girl who has a tough road ahead of her to rid herself of heartworm disease. Her
personality is becoming more evident every day. Penny is playful, alert and appreciative of her foster
mom and dad. She is a well-mannered girl who knows some commands.
ASR is so happy we could give her a new chance at a wonderful life!
We thank you for your continued support to ASR.
