Killing Them
With Kindness
January
is typically a time when we look back over the last year and ahead to the
new one. We make plans and goals for the coming year and call them New
Year’s Resolutions. Each year, loosing weight is at or near the top of many
lists. Time Magazine’s published yearly review told us that 60% of
Americans are overweight and in most states we are 21% - 24% obese.
In the decade between 1991 and 2000, the prevalence of overweight adults in
the U.S. increased by 61%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Reports state that 30% of children in 30 states tipped the scales as
either overweight or obese.
Studies show that as Americans continue to
gain weight, so do their pets. Their obesity is just as dangerous to them as
it is to humans. Like humans, dogs develop certain diseases when they are
overweight.

German Shepherd Rescue of New England, Inc. (GSRNE)
is an all volunteer,
501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to providing veterinary care,
evaluation & adoptive homes for the countless numbers of German
Shepherd Dogs who are left in pounds to await uncertain fate, are owner
surrenders (divorce, death, etc.), or are from abuse or neglect
situations. We help provide a safe harbor for German Shepherds that
might otherwise be destroyed.
Each dog applying to our program is evaluated for temperament and behavioral
information. All accepted dogs are spayed or neutered, updated
on vaccinations, and receive essential medical care. Then the dogs
are placed into GSRNE foster homes, while they await new homes.
Finally, each dog is carefully placed in a loving home with a family that
matches that dog's temperament, activity level and needs.
