UPDATE: 3-11-12: $400 PLEDGED!! NEEDS RESCUE & MEDICAL NOW! just heard back from the shelter. This dog has a 2-day extension until 3-13. BUT they also said: "Please keep in mind the extent of his injuries and know that if at any point it becomes inhumane to keep holding the dog he may be euthanized."

Here's the details on his injuries. If anyone is a vet tech or something, please let me know what this all means.
- Sternally recumbent. Mild labored breathing. Superficial wounds left medial tarsus and other limbs. Painful on manipulation of left hindlimb. Lingual laceration with dried blood on head/front limbs. Plan thoracic/pelvic rads, lasix tabs, antibiotics and pain meds. Rads: right lung lobe consolidation, lung congestion, pulmonary contusions, difficult to visualize cardiac silhouette on lateral rad, air bronchograms.

REVIEW DATE WAS YESTERDAY and per the shelter he has injuries from getting hit by a car.:(( The shelter didn't mention rescue interest when I
asked so HE IS RED ALERT URGENT!!! RESCUE ONLY!!

I'm using this album to network and try to get more exposure for German Shepherds at the OC Shelter in So Cal. Many people have the mistaken idea that the OC dogs are not urgent. Let me say here and now that the OC shelter is a KILL FACILITY. They kill them just as dead here as in any other kill shelter. Particularly shepherds. ANY SHEPHERD AT OC CAN BE CONSIDERED URGENT, MOST ARE NOT EVEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. Please note, some of the dogs I am posting are not yet available to the public due to STRAY HOLDS or because they are RESCUE ONLY. I will do my best to get information and keep the info on each dog updated, but I'm not on FB 24/7. If a dog is AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, I'll note that in the photo caption. ***IMPORTANT: If in fact a dog is RESCUE ONLY please DO NOT CALL THE SHELTER UNLESS you are an Adoption Partner Rescue or 501(c)3 Rescue, because the dog WILL NOT be released to the general public. ******If you are seriously interested in a dog, PLEASE be proactive & CALL THE SHELTER to get further info.The shelter's number is listed with EACH INDIVIDUAL PHOTO in this album.***** ALSO IMPORTANT: HELP IN SHARING/TAGGING/NETWORKING IS VERY APPRECIATED.***BUT*** I won't have people fighting or being abusive on my threads because it does not benefit the dogs. Thanks for sharing.
