SKYLAR was saved from San Antonio Animal Care Services on 13th February 2015, the day he was due to be killed. 

SKYLAR had severe demodex mange and red in-flammed skin that is being treated and healing well. 

SKYLAR at the time of rescuing him was not leash trained and was very fearful of the leash, we think maybe he had been tied up outside and neglected. SKYLAR came over fearful and shy on initial meeting, but as soon as he met the dogs his confidence was re-gained, his tail was up and he started running around happily to be with his own kind. 

Over the first few days SKYLAR was trying to show dominance on the younger dogs, but was in no way aggressive, it was more of him trying to find his place, also he had only been neutered the day before.  SKYLAR does have high energy and likes to be running around playing rather than sitting relaxing, he will definitely need an active family. 

SKYLAR will need at minimum basic and hopefully advanced training, This not only sets the guidelines and expectations out for him, but helps a bond be formed and a clearer understand for both him and family of body language and personalities. 

SKYLAR is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed and micro-chipped. He had tested positive for heart-worm disease which the rescue will be getting treated around the end of February. SKYLAR at time of rescue weighed around 40 pounds and has been given an estimated date of birth of 8 February 2013 (I do however, think he might be slightly younger as he acts very young - but I am not a vet!) 

SKYLAR is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $170  We will be happy to process and approve adopters before his heartworm treatment so as soon as he is fully healthy he can go on to start his new life. 

Our adoption process and fee is on our website under the APPLICATION tab. More photo's can be found by clicking on his photo under the GSD tab.
