Strengthen Security at Our Safe Home with a Guard Dog 🐕
Since opening our long-term counseling safe home in 2016, our guard dogs have played an important role in helping keep the girls in our care safe. We originally purchased four German Shepherds (three females and one male), and over the years they have produced several generations of puppies.
Unfortunately, because the dogs have been breeding within the same bloodline, we have begun seeing signs of inbreeding. Some puppies have been born with physical birth defects or cognitive challenges. Most recently, we sadly lost a puppy that was born with a severe cleft palate.
To help address this issue, we are seeking to purchase a new male German Shepherd to introduce a healthy bloodline into the breeding population. This will improve the long-term health of future puppies while helping us maintain a strong and effective security presence at the safe home.
Healthy guard dogs help us provide a safer environment for the 98 girls living in our counseling program, allowing them to focus on healing, discipleship, education, and rebuilding their lives.
