Arf's German Shephard Rescue, Inc.

ARF's GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUE actually started in 1999, when founder, Terri, and her husband Perry came upon a very sick German Shepherd puppy being sold outside the Weyauwega Exotic Animal Fair for $20. Terri knew she could use the Wisconsin Dog Rescue listserv to contact a shepherd rescue, so she paid* for the sleepy little fellow and promised her husband the pup absolutely wouldn't be staying forever. (Terri had owned two GSDs in the past and knew how attached she became to the breed). Mit Liebe German Shepherd Rescue asked the couple to foster the pup for just two months, until they had room to take him in. Pistol (jokingly named because the worms, anemia, and the maggot living between the skin layers of his neck made him the most lethargic puppy ever) spent the rest of the summer sleeping at Perry's feet, or going for short walks at the dog park as he became healthier. Three weeks later, Terri was calling Mit Liebe back to say they HAD to adopt Pistol; he'd kicked in that Shepherd Charm and won the couple over. After Terri became listowner for Wisconsin Dog Rescue, she decided volunteering for shelters and other rescues wasn't enough; she wanted to save the other "Pistols" out there, too. She filed the paperwork to become incorporated, followed closely by the 501c3 paperwork, and Arf's German Shepherd Rescue, Inc. was founded in March 2002.
