Please feel free to cross post this urgent appeal for help for Mack. Your help is much appreciatted.
German Shepherd Rescue UK- see site for pictures of Mack
Mack - a lifetime of neglect. £3000 needed
3rd July 2008 Mack is a good example of what this rescue is about. We have never cherry picked, we don't discriminate on age, health problems or behaviour. We have always tried to help any dog that came our way. Just because Mack has suffered a lifetime of neglect, doesn't mean we should write him off and not bother to help. It would be cheap and simple to put him to sleep wouldn't it?
We think he, more than any other at the moment deserves whatever we can do for him and hopefully make up in some small way for what he has endured thanks to humans in the past.
Every penny is counting for Mack - we need your help


Mack - a very sad case of neglect abandoned in Leeds
This is Mack when he first came into the rescue in March. Badly neglected and then abandoned when he ended up in the dog pound and was due to be put to sleep. He has very severe ear problems due to sheer neglect, which have resulted in chronic infection and haematomas in both ears. He has two cauliflower ears cause him severe pain and discomfort and which have needed constant treatment.

Everyone that has met Mack has fallen in love with him because he is so friendly and loveable. How could this dog have been allowed to suffer for so long?

Mack - friendly happy dog who needs a home not kennels


After months in kennels where he was not doing well, Mack was moved to a foster home last week but sadly he was badly betrayed by his foster carer which today very nearly cost him his life.

Mack is in severe pain and desperately needs an expensive operation on both of his ears to remove the chronically infected and severely damaged ear canals. The cost estimates for his operation and post op care is £3000+ but we think he is worth it. It is a lot for him to go through but it will take away his pain and we hope that we can find him a caring home once he has got over the operation.

Mack will have his operation next week and we have committed ourselves to raising the £3000+ that will hopefully go some way to helping this poor lad have a few good years after suffering years of neglect at the hands of humans.

We think Mack is approx 8 years old, he ended up in a dog pound in the north east where he was due to be put to sleep. They don't even give the fit and healthy ones a chance in the majority of dog pounds

We need your donations for Mack's sake
"How Could You?" should bring tears to your eyes. It is very sad fact of life that many faithful pets have become disposable items and will be discarded, no longer required. Many of these will die unwanted, unloved and alone having spent the last few days, weeks or months in a filthy dank dirty kennel. Their final reward - a lethal injection!!



Please help us by making a donation so that we can help re home more unwanted German Shepherd Dogs. Donations can be sent to Jayne Shenstone, German Shepherd Rescue UK, Little Vauld, Marden Hereford HR1 3HA.

Just to say that Rainrescue said to check with Jayne at GSDrescue as she thought that Mack had come from Sheffield originally and went to rescue via Rainrescue.
Jayne confirms this, so if anyone can support this Sheffield dog who has been through the system please help...;)

Sold a book yesterday on the wanted ads of this site for a fiver,,, every little helps:hihi:

Thank you for raising this on the forum - that poor poor boy - as if he hasn't been through enough.

Yes - Mack did come via Sheffield Stray kennels - someone had probably dumped him because they had let his ears get so bad, and they didn't want to pay the vet bill. He was in the pound for ages, nobody would take on a bill like that.

A great big thank you to the volunteers at German Shepherd Rescue for taking him and many more gsd's from different pounds - but they ALWAYS try to help the Sheffield dogs. They have just taken 2 out today to safety. One which again will end up costing them lots of money.

Rain Rescue have discussed it, and they have decided to send £50.00 towards his care and treatment. Thank you so much for helping him

Oh you have brought tears to my eyes, thank you so much, just wish I could give you a big hug. You have made my day and I am sure that Jayne will be over the moon.
I hope the little thin bitch will be ok, they think it may be EPI which my Josh has so she should put some weight on when she has her enzymes in her food. As you say its a life time condition but honestly since Josh was officially diagnosed and now has enzymes he is putting weight back on slowly...


Thank you - I cant say anymore, got to get a hanky

No problem - all the money we get donated - and we do get regular donations from people on the Sheffield forum - for which I thank you all.

All the money that we ever get in- goes to help dogs in need - but especially its always ear marked (get the punn), for dogs in need from the Sheffield area - especially those that have been dumped and end up in the Sheffield pound.

Depending how we go - we may have some more towards it too.

I hope funds come in soon
