Sasha is her name!

So my rescued German Shepherd is still with me, and sweet as ever. A little separation anxiety, and only 1 call for missing dog, turns out wasn't her.. I took her to the Valencia County Animal Shelter today to see if she was chipped. The lady running it, or the desk or something was very rude, and had no human skills. She said I should have left her there tied to the gate, and they do have shelter personnel who check on the drop off crates and the fence.. Luckily she said I could keep her. No one had reported a missing female dog like Sasha, and she wasn't chipped.

The lady said that she was about 7 years old, and in her opinion German shepherds get such bad issues after seven she would probably put her to sleep. I was like WTF?  She is so sweet, I wouldn't even fathom.. I told her that I had had a couple calls of people wanting to adopt the dog, which was shocking to me. She said to send them to the shelter as they had two shepherds with only a few days left. :( Broke my heart.  Anyway my first trip to the local shelter wasn't that bad. The other staff couldn't have been nicer, including the two "dog catchers" I met. They had people skills, the lady running it was all for the animals in which I guess if you have to put down over 100 pets a week, maybe I would be that way too...

So for now she stays with me, and I am fine with that. This weekend is another big SW Horse Auction here in Los Lunas. Going to go both days to document.. Had a person offer to meet me to to donate money to save a life, I was like wow! Will update after the weekend!
