I am so happy in my new home. Dad gives me

Buddy is no longer sad and he lays by me when I feel scared and comforts me. My foster parents

I
have three pets that I proudly rescued on
my own. I’ve never regret being able to
give them a new chance at life.
Since I was a kid, I’ve loved dogs. I started res-
cuing them about ten years ago, in my native country, and continued rescuing here, in the United States.
One particular story that I wanted to share is
about Romeo (now named Roscoe). I was driv-
ing home from work one evening last year and I spotted a Pitbull mix at the intersection of U.S.
290 and Beltway 8. I turned back to help him as 22 www.urbanpawsmagazine.com
there was very heavy traffic and not a good place for a dog. I parked my car nearby and
tried to approach him, but he backed away and began going toward the feeder road. I was able
to take a picture of him, but once I was back in my car, I cried. My thought was that he would probably die out there.
I began networking on Facebook that evening,
and sent emails to my contacts. Romeo was a traveler. He had been seen by other people who
passed the same intersection everyday. He passed under those feeders and crossed those streets for nearly three months! Other friends

away. A trap was set but he was smart and did
not want to get caught. It was summer time and hot, but little by little he began to come closer and we were able to feed him from our hands.
On the night of July 30, 2014, our friend and trapper Elliot was able to get him. He had tried
before but was not successful. That night was the best night of my life! The agony I was going
through, wondering if he would be still alive the next day was terrible.
After being caught, he went to boarding for a few weeks, then on to a foster home. Not too

Val's Pals GSD & Large Paw Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming German Shepherd dogs. We are a group of volunteers that work tirelessly to make sure the dogs we rescue are vetted, fostered and find forever homes. Our process is not to just take the dog in and re-home immediately. We go to great efforts to make sure that we place the right family with the right dog. Always putting the welfare of the dog first. The public would be amazed at how prevalent the abuse and abandonment of the German Shepherd dog is. Rescue groups like Val’s Pals really make a difference to help these beautiful souls recover and go on to live a healthy and happy life. We urge all dog lovers to get involved.
Dalila
Photo by Paw Prints Pet Photography by Jamie Fincher
24 www.urbanpawsmagazine.com
A beautiful female who is perfectly content to be with her human companion. In her spare time, Dalila enjoys chasing balls in the backyard, squeaking and nibbling on her stuffed animal toys and dancing. She has got some moves when she gets excited! At feeding time the “music starts” and she prances around and spins excitedly, which we call her happy dance. Dalila does have a ‘hitch in her giddy up’ from previously being hit by a car. She doesn’t let it slow her down, though. Her walk is just a little different than other dogs. We consider it swagger and who couldn’t use a little swagger to stand out from the rest? Dalila is approximately 4-5 years old, weighs 60 pounds, is good with large dogs and is housebroken and crate trained. Due to her injury, Dalila will need to be given Dasuquin (joint health supplement or an equivalent supplement for life.
Ali Jack is a San Antonio native. He was rescued in the nick of time, by a family traveling from Houston. He loves playing with people of all ages. His favorite game is playing chase in the yard with his 8-year-old foster niece. He loves toys and his foster mom says that he has great manners and loves to follow her around the house (typical German Shepherd). Jack is a 3year-old, 80 pound male that is good with small and large dogs and children.
Rex
Ali is a super sweet girl. She is very well behaved and affectionate. Her previous owners were moving and could not take her, so they turned her into the shelter. She is very good at basic commands like: sit, shake, down and rollover. Ali is a healthy 70 pounds and approximately 3 – 4 years old. She is good with large dogs and children. She is heartworm positive and is on ‘slow kill’ treatment. She has no other medical needs. Ali will warm your heart with her kind eyes and gentleness.
Jack The battle-scarred King. Rex had a ‘ruff ’ beginning, but it is quite astounding how far this fellow has come with the care and compassion of his foster family. Rex is a 3-year-old, neutered male pounds. He does not have a high prey drive, therefore, he would be good with cats. Due to his rambunctiousness, we would recommend children over the age of 8. He knows basic commands: sit, down, leave it and stay. He is heartworm positive and currently going through ‘slow kill’ treatment. Rex is a quick learner and eager to please and has a charming personality. Urban Paws Magazine 25
