UPDATE: Braveheart has come a long way in just 2 weeks. He has had his imbedded toenail removed, been neutered and had his wounds treated. He is a gentle senior who is so grateful to be getting fed every day. We are working to build up his muscle strength thru short walks and aqua-therapy. Please consider giving Braveheart a home in his golden years. He has clearly never known love and we are determined for him to feel valued.
Due to past neglect, Braveheart prefers to be the only animal companion in your home. He wants to soak up every bit of love that you have to give.

While driving to work, one of the GSROC kennel staff spotted a lump of fur by the side of a rural road. When she approached, she found an exhausted, overheated senior shepherd who could not go any farther. While other cars drove by, this animal lover called for help to get the injured boy to the vet. We have named this courageous fellow Braveheart, because we know that he has a champion’s spirit.
Braveheart is underweight; he has open sores as well as bald patches on his back, and most alarmingly, he has a dew claw that has grown so long that it has wrapped around and pierced his leg. No wonder he couldn’t walk another step. His poor ears are tattered with flystrike. Whomever had this poor boy before neglected him terribly. We all think that Braveheart was deliberately making his way to us through some sort of unseen force.
