Meet Candy! Candy is a sweet, beautiful 4 year old black and red female GSD. She was seconds away from being surrendered to a local high kill shelter when a respresentative from one of our local rescues stepped in and offered to help get her into GSD rescue. It was Candy's lucky day, as in her current condition she would have stood little chance of being adopted from the shelter.
Candy is extremely emaciated, and has a fair amount of muscular atrophy from lack of care and exercise. She has also recently had pups (most certainly not her first litter), which contributed to her poor condition. She is very frightened right now, and doesn't understand what is happening to her. But despite her fear, she has a very good appetite and is learning to trust her foster parents.
Candy gets along well with other dogs, and is curious about children. She has not been tested with cats. More will be posted about her as she settles in at her foster home and we get to know her.
Candy is utd on routine vaccinations, flea/tick prevetion and heartworm prevention. She has been microchipped, and will be spayed once she has gained a sufficient amout of weight.
Please Click Here to fill out an application. This is the first step in our adoption process. No adoption will be considered or discussed until this has been completed and received.
Candy must go to an indoor home where she will be an important part of the family. We do not adopt to anyone under the age of 21.
Note: Mid-South Shepherd Rescue is a no-kill, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We do not have a shelter location. Our dogs are kept in foster homes as part of a family, to help prepare them for transition into their forever homes. If you are interested in meeting one of our dogs, please contact us by clicking on the email address to your right. We will be glad to make arrangements for a meeting.

As of November 29, 2007, the balance on our vet bill is $5,534.62. This is JUST our primary vet bill, and does not include other daily expenses, as well as additional medical bills for some of our dogs who need to see specialists (for example, orthopedic surgeries). These costs are mounting daily, as we are always testing, spaying/neutering and heartworm treating new dogs as they come into rescue. Our adoption fee of $250 is the ONLY funding source we have, and it doesn't go very far when some of our rescues have bills of $1000+. Please help us continue to help them. Tax deductible donations an be made by clicking the following link, or by snail mail to:
MSSR, P.O. Box 542, Nesbit, MS 38651. NO amount is too small. If you think you can't make a difference, think again!
